This week’s SPIN-POV: An “L”-shaped thalamic hyperintensity on DWI/T2 points to partial prolonged HIE in term neonates—exaggerated by hypoglycemia but uncommon in isolation. In preterms, it is associated with parieto-occipital PVL, helping differentiate it from metabolic causes.

The journey into the soul of each core topic continues at #SPIN25. How can imaging be used to prognosticate clinically…. Nuances being addressed by the very well spoken Dr Shyam Mohan.

Tip of the day 💡: Zooming in on the cerebellum here- the structure where close to 80 percent of the neurons of primary CNS axis reside. On this DWI, which side is abnormal? Answer: the lesion was on the right! Expect some pretty low ADC values in the normal packed cerebellum.

We are keeping our raffles for #SPIN25 open for quiz winners for this special edition of Spinner of the month- as the awesome duo Elaine Kan and Kevin Fung weave the magic next Sunday. How little we know about everything happening in #Pedineurorad space in #China!

This week’s SPIN-POV: Pediatric meningiomas often lack the dural tail and calcifications, as seen in adults, making them hard to distinguish from other extraaxial masses. Always consider histiocytic disorders like Rosai–Dorfman disease as close mimics in children, as in this case

Tip of the day 💡: Not everything in the pons is a malignant Diffuse Midline Glioma. Here, two scans 5 years apart, showing a low grade glioma in the pons. This weekend, share some hope.

🌀 SPIN Tweetorial Wednesday: Wilson Disease 🧵1/ This week’s #SPINtweetorial dives into Wilson Disease (WD) 🧬 — an autosomal recessive copper metabolism disorder. 💡Think: “Hepatolenticular degeneration” → liver 🟤 + basal ganglia 🧠. Let’s decode its neuroimaging spectrum !

This week’s SPIN-POV: Intracranial hydatid cysts classically present with floating membranes, daughter cysts, and no enhancement. On MRS, look out for the pyruvate/succinate peak at 2.4 ppm—a specific clue to intracranial cestodal infection.

New publication, fortunate to work with these excellent researchers! 🖇️ICANS-related brain MRI abnormalities demonstrate unique patterns in the cerebral white matter, brainstem and thalami; their prevalence increases with ICANS clinical grade. 🖇️Neuroimaging Findings in Children

This week’s SPIN-POV: Subpial haemorrhage isn’t just supratentorial; it can involve the cerebellum too. It may be crescentic/spherical, but fastigium stays intact. Often associated with GMH-IVH, fetal growth restriction, TTS, and COL4A1/2 mutations. (Haboosheh et al., AJNR 2025)

Tip of the day 💡: Not uncommonly will one encounter asymmetric levels of the cerebellar tonsils, one even lying a bit low- mention it surely, but please all dismiss it as reassuringly insignificant if all else is good! This weekend, how about some reassurances?

We have a timely subject matter expert Vivek Pai on the topic of Retinoblastoma- given the background of emerging guidelines on how to image and how to read these cases, we are sure the Spinner of the Month platform will reach out very effectively to the masses. SickKids Foundation
