Glioblastoma with multiple localizations (mGBMs) can be defined as multifocal, where enhancing lesions present a connection visible on magnetic resonance imaging fluid-attenuated inversion recovery imaging, or multicentric, in the absence of a clear dissemination pathway. ⋯ Our study suggests that EOR may positively influence survival of patients with mGBM. Surgical resection can be a reasonable option when performance and access to adjuvant treatment can be preserved.

Meta Analysis
Thrombus Histology as It Relates to Mechanical Thrombectomy: A Meta-Analysis and Systematic Review.
Appropriate thrombus-device interaction is critical for recanalization. Histology can serve as a proxy for mechanical properties, and thus inform technique selection. ⋯ RBC-rich thrombi were associated with better recanalization outcomes and shorter procedure times, suggesting that preinterventional compositional characterization may yield important prognostic and therapeutic guidance.
