▶️In children, primary TB infection is commonly associated w/ meningitis
▶️Exudative meningitis of the basal cisterns can obstruct the normal CSF flow resulting in hydrocephalus

▶️Prospectively this mass was thought to be an embryonal tumor w/ multilayered rosettes given the marked diffusion restriction, hemorrhage, and lack of surrounding edema 🧠
Imaging:
▶️T2 shows a heterogenous slightly hyperintense mass w/ areas of hypointensity
▶️No surrounding edema/infiltrating tumor is seen on T2/FLAIR
▶️Fluid-fluid level is seen suggestive of hemorrhage (arrow)

Correct answer: None of the above. Why?
This is a case of ischemic colitis AND colon cancer⬇️
Were you able to pick up both? Can you see the difference?

Learning points
🌟Satisfaction of search bias (CAREFUL!)
🌟There is a known ASSOCIATION between is ischemic colitis and tumor. Different patterns can be seen.
Old but useful paper to check out if you would like to learn more 🤓

Preoperative approach to sellar region masses, what the surgeon needs to know (at least what I think they need to know)

1️⃣Where is the mass located?
Is it sellar based? suprasellar (S)? clival? Planum sphenoidale (PS)? Tuberculum sellae (arrow)?
▶️Location can change operative approach including but not limited to subfrontal vs transsphenoidal

2️⃣Where is the normal pituitary gland?
▶️this can be tough when the mass is large but the normal tissue often enhances more avidly than tumor so look for a strip of relatively avid enhancement along the periphery of the mass. Surgeons do not want to remove normal pit tissue

Remember the optic nerve is an extension of the CNS and therefore, is surrounded by meninges and arachnoid cap cells from which meningiomas arise. Look for the “tram-track” sign of enhancement surrounding the optic nerve

These are the typical imaging features for GBS. Contrast is absolutely necessary.
There was no history to suggest systemic sarcoidosis, malignancy, or recent procedure (risk factor for spinal meningitis/arachnoiditis)

Diagnosis: Lymphocytic Hypophysitis
Clinical history is key here as there is an association with ipilimumab. Helpful clues on imaging include a thickened non tapered pituitary stalk with bulbous enlargement of the gland though usually no significant widening of the sella

Differential diagnosis includes:
Top of the basilar artery syndrome
Artery of Percheron infarct
Bilateral internal cerebral vein thrombosis
Top of the basilar artery syndrome
Artery of Percheron infarct
Bilateral internal cerebral vein thrombosis
Answer: Artery of Percheron infarct
The artery of Percheron is a rare anatomic variant where a single artery supplies both medial thalami, typically arising from the P1 segment of the PCA.

A classic radiographic diagnosis. Challenge yourselves #radres and #futureradres? You can bet if I'm asking, it has something to do with the 🫀 or the flow of🩸!!
Here's a coronal reformat from an MRA from the same patient, which provides some insight.
And now the physiology that explains the anatomy. Does this help clarify the disease process and the findings on radiograph #radres #futureradres? What do you see? @NASCISociety @thoracicrad @RSNA @SMRAngio @SCMRorg @UCSDHealth @UCSDCardFellows @ACHD_SanDiego

Resident Vibe
Virtual meet-and-greets are different than in-person socials, but you should have been able to get a general sense of the vibe of the residents from each program. What are the kind of people you want to be around? How did the residents make you feel?

How to answer one of the most common interview openers: “tell me about yourself” @Inside_TheMatch @futureradres #futureradres #MedStudentTwitter #MedTwitter - a thread 1/
1. Start wherever you want that resonates with you. Want to start with your upbringing? Your medical career? Where you were born? Whatever will help you tell YOUR story. There is no right or wrong as long as everything you say has a purpose. 2/
2. Make sure you tie in your passions. Tell us how you started becoming interested them along the way. Where did you pick up x,y,x skills or projects? Make sure you discuss the things that are exemplified on your app. 3/

During an interview, a PD asked me for advice on how to recruit more women to his program. I realized many programs are trying to recruit women but face obstacles in doing so. See comments for my thoughts on what makes a program more female friendly! @theAPDR @AAWR #futureradres
1. Recruit female faculty! We want mentors who we can look up to, learn from, and grow because of. I’ve had wonderfully supportive M mentors who have been invaluable to my career, however, having strong F mentorship is something that cannot be replaced
2. Those female faculty you recruit would ideally be represented in every subspecialty area. I’d like to see that no matter which subspecialty I’m interested in, I will have F mentors along the way
