“…We screened these results according to the PRISMA 2020 guideline 9 and narrowed them down to 78 potentially eligible studies by removing duplications, irrelevant studies by title and abstract screening, and studies where full text was unavailable. After excluding an additional 40 studies based on the exclusion criteria, 38 studies with 47 patients with AGs satisfied the criteria for the systematic review 4–8,12–42 . In six studies, cases that did not meet the criteria were excluded 4,21,30,34,38,39 .…”

Background and Purpose: Angiocentric gliomas (AGs) are epileptogenic low-grade gliomas in young patients. We aimed to investigate the MRI findings of AGs and systematically review previous publications and three new cases. Methods:We searched PubMed, Elsevier's abstract and citation database, and Embase databases and included 50 patients with pathologically proven AGs with analyzable preoperative MRI including 3 patients from our institution and 47 patients from 38 publications (median age, 13 years [range, 2-83 years]; 35 men). Two board-certified radiologists reviewed all images. The relationships between seizure/epilepsy history and MRI findings were statistically analyzed. Moreover, clinical and imaging differences were evaluated between supratentorial and brainstem AGs.Results: Intratumoral T1-weighted high-intensity areas, stalk-like signs, and regional brain parenchymal atrophy were observed in 23 out of 50 (46.0%), 10 out of 50 (20.0%), and 14 out of 50 (28.0%) patients, respectively. Intratumoral T1-weighted high-intensity areas were observed significantly more frequently in patients with stalk-like signs (positive, 9/10 vs. negative, 14/40, p = .0031) and regional atrophy (13/14 vs. 10/36, p = .0001).There were significant relationships between the length of seizure/epilepsy history and presence of intratumoral T1-weighted high-intensity area (median 3 years vs. 0.5 years, p = .0021), stalk-like sign (13.5 vs. 1 year, p < .0001), and regional atrophy (14 vs. 0.5 years, p < .0001). Patients with brainstem AGs (n = 7) did not have a seizure/epilepsy history and were significantly younger than those with supratentorial AGs (median, 5 vs. 13 years, p < .0001, respectively).Conclusions: Intratumoral T1-weighted high-intensity areas, stalk-like signs, and regional brain atrophy were frequent imaging features in AG. We also found that affected age was different between supratentorial and brainstem AGs.

Blépharospasmes secondaires Blépharospasmes secondaires, analyse et réflexion sur la physio-pathogénie du blépharospasme. Secondary blepharospasm, analysis and blepharospasm pathophysiology. Titre court : Blépharospasmes secondaires Conflit d'intérêt : Les auteurs déclarent n'avoir aucun conflit d'intérêts en relation avec cet article. Résumé Objectif : Localiser les structures cérébrales atteintes dans le blépharospasme. Matériel et méthode : Étude rétrospective, consécutive, des IRM craniocérébrales portant sur les patients atteints de blépharospasme secondaire et ayant dans leurs antécédents immédiats un accident vasculaire cérébral ou un traumatisme crânien. Résultats : 6 patients répartis en 4 patients atteints d'AVC avec des lésions ischémiques ou hémorragiques des thalamus et des noyaux caudés et 2 victimes de TC ayant des lésions contusives séquellaires de la lame quadrigéminée et atrophie du cortex frontal et cérébelleux. Conclusion : En reprenant la littérature, les lésions cérébrales corrélées au blépharospasme atteignent principalement le thalamus, la tête du noyau caudé, le striatum, le pallidum, la capsule interne, le cortex cérébral et cérébelleux. Cette étude démontre que le blépharospasme est corrélé à une lésion sur le trajet d'un réseau nerveux complexe, cortico-thalamo-pallidocortical et ne correspond pas à une lésion neurologique unique. Ce réseau est en connexion Blépharospasmes secondaires Blépharospasmes secondaires, analyse et réflexion sur la physio-pathogénie du blépharospasme.
