The purpose of this retrospective analysis was to evaluate the clinical presentations, radiological characteristics, patient outcomes, and therapeutic approaches among individuals diagnosed with primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL), high-grade glioma (HGG), and metastatic brain tumors (METS). We assembled a cohort of brain tumor patients from two medical centers, with two oncologists independently reviewing their clinical profiles. A retrospective examination of 87 PCNSL, 87 HGG, and 71 METS cases was performed to assess the aforementioned parameters. Notable variations were identified in the incidence of epileptic seizures and cognitive impairments between PCNSL and METS patients. Cerebral hemisphere involvement was predominantly observed in HGG and METS cases. PCNSL cases exhibited a higher likelihood of multiple lesions, whereas HGG showed a greater tendency for recurrence. The median survival times were established at 24.3 months for PCNSL, 44.5 months for HGG, and 27.1 months for METS patients. In PCNSL cases, the number of lesions was identified as a significant predictor of mortality (P = 0.008). Our findings highlight the importance of clinical and imaging features in diagnosing PCNSL, which may present distinct features compared to HGG and METS.

Objective: To investigate the clinical features and imaging characteristics of mitochondrial encephalopathy, lactic acidosis, and stroke-like episodes (MELAS). Methods: Seventeen patients with MELAS diagnosed in the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University from July 2014 to August 2018 were enrolled in this study and their clinical manifestations, imaging and histopathological features were retrospectively analysed. We also discussed and summarised the related literature. Results: All of the 12 patients had seizures; stroke-like episodes in 12 cases; audio-visual impairment in 12 cases; headache in six cases; dysplasia in four cases; mental retardation in three cases; ataxia in two cases. On cranial magnetic resonance (MR) scans, the most common manifestations were in temporal-occipital-parietal lobe, cortical or subcortical areas as well as frontal lobe, thalamus, and basal ganglia showing long or equal T1 signals, long T2 signals, and hyperintense or iso-intense diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) signals accompanied by ventricular enlargement and brain atrophy. MR spectroscopy showed that lactic acid peaks could be found in lesion sites, normal brain tissues, and cerebrospinal fluid. Muscle biopsy and genetic testing are the gold standard for diagnosing MELAS, muscle biopsy revealed COX-negative muscle fibres and SDH-stained red ragged fibres (RRF) under the sarcolemma. Mutations of mtDNA A3243G locus were common on gene testing. Improvement of mitochondrial function was observed after symptomatic and supportive treatment. Conclusion: MELAS should be considered for patients with epileptic seizures, headache, stroke-like episodes, extraocular palsy, cognitive decline and other clinical manifestations with the lesion located in the temporal-occipital-parietal lobe regardless of the distribution of blood vessels, and further examinations including muscle biopsy and gene testing should be performed to confirm the diagnosis.

Objective: To investigate the anatomical characteristics, clinical manifestations, and imaging features of bilateral cerebral peduncular infarction. Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on 11 patients diagnosed with bilateral cerebral peduncular infarction in the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University from December 2014 to December 2018. Their clinical and imaging features were analyzed and summarized in combination with the relevant national and international literature. Results: Among all the patients, there were eight cases with a history of hypertension, four cases with a history of diabetes mellitus, and four cases with a history of smoking. Conscious disturbance was observed in nine cases, quadriplegia in seven cases, pseudobulbar paralysis in three cases, and ataxia in one case. Brain magnetic resonance (MR) scans of bilateral cerebral peduncles showed patchy abnormal shadows with a hypointense signal on T1-weighted imaging (T1WI) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and hyperintense signal on T2-weighted imaging (T2WI), fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR), and diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI). Computed tomography angiography (CTA) scans of head and neck showed severe stenosis or occlusion of vertebral artery, basilar artery, or posterior cerebral artery. All the patients received standardized treatment for cerebral infarction. Six patients died while five were left disabled. Conclusion: Bilateral cerebral peduncle infarction may be related to cerebral perfusion insufficiency caused by the stenosis or occlusion of vertebrobasilar artery and its branches. The main clinical manifestations are locked-in syndrome and persistent vegetative state. The specific imaging feature of "Mickey Mouse ear"-like infarction is associated with a poor prognosis.
