Brainstem abscesses are localized collections of pus or infected material within the brainstem, which can cause inflammation, tissue damage, and compression adjacent structures. This lead to a variety symptoms, including headache, fever, focal neurological deficits, among many others. potentially life-threatening considered be rare, pontine even rarer. Both often caused by spread infection from...

 Background: Major depression is a common disorder with great social and individual burdens. Transcranial sonography (TCS) is a useful and noninvasive measure for assessment of normal and impaired brain parenchyma. The brainstem raphe nuclei are in close association with dorsocaudal limbic system and plays an important role in depression. In this study we compared the echogenicity of the r...

Abstract Objective We retrospectively reviewed the post-irradiation course of cases treated with radiotherapy for gliomas involving thalamus or brainstem. Methods Thirty-seven brainstem from 2007 to 2021 in our hospital were included. Median age was 47 (19-79) years, and KPS at start irradiation 80% less 26 cases. Tumor localization only/brainstem only/both 20/9/8 Two did not undergo biopsy, ot...

The human auditory brainstem is thought to undergo rapid developmental changes early in life until age ∼2 followed by prolonged stability until aging-related changes emerge. However, earlier work on brainstem development was limited by sparse sampling across the lifespan and/or averaging across children and adults. Using a larger dataset than past investigations, we aimed to trace more subtle v...
