Isolated bilateral lateral geniculate body necrosis following acute pancreatitis: A rare cause of bilateral loss of vision in a young female

S. Murugesan et al.

Summary: This is a rare case of sudden bilateral visual loss due to bilateral lateral geniculate body necrosis. The mechanisms causing these isolated lesions are still not fully understood, but a vascular pathology, possibly hypo-perfusion due to shock following acute pancreatitis, is postulated in this case. Multidisciplinary management led to visual improvement and resolution of the LGB lesions, with residual hemorrhagic gliosis.

The Mammillary Bodies: A Review of Causes of Injury in Infants and Children

K. M. E. Meys et al.

Summary: Despite their small size, mammillary bodies play a crucial role in supporting recollective memory. However, their significance is often overlooked in assessing memory-related neurological disorders, especially in infants and children. This literature review indicates that mammillary body pathology is present in pediatric populations with various conditions, as shown by signal change and atrophy on brain MR imaging. The main causes of pathology are thiamine deficiency, hypoxia-ischemia, direct damage, or deafferentation within the Papez circuit. Given their importance in memory processes, it is critical to optimize scanning protocols and include assessment of mammillary body status as a standard procedure.

Stroke-induced immunosuppression: implications for the prevention and prediction of post-stroke infections

Julia Faura et al.

Summary: Stroke-induced immunosuppression increases the risk of stroke-associated infections in stroke patients, particularly stroke-associated pneumonia, but there are currently no accurate biomarkers for early diagnosis and prevention. Efforts are being made to explore local immunomodulation as a potential approach for preventive therapy of stroke-associated pneumonia.
