This case series of 11 patients status post laryngectomy/pharyngectomy describes the imaging findings of pharyngoesophageal wall breakdown with subsequent cervical spine infection. The authors show that MRI is more sensitive for spine infection in these patients presenting with neck, fever, and serologic evidence of infection.

This systematic review and meta-analysis found the incidence of new postprocedural DWI-detected ischemic lesions after endovascular treatment for intracranial aneurysms to be 47.0% (95% CI, 39.6%–55.8%), regardless of the endovascular procedure used. Studies have shown that almost half of these lesions are asymptomatic, and if small (<5 mm), these lesions have been shown to regress without negative effect on clinical outcome.

Multi-institutional retrospective evaluation of patients with CSF-to-venous fistulas treated with CT-guided fibrin glue treatment showed that treatment success may be in part driven by whether the spread of fibrin injectate matches the target drainage pathway of the CVF.
