Giant Tumefactive Mesencephalothalamic Virchow-Robin Space with Triventricular Hydrocephalus: a Case-Based Systematic Literature Review
Child's Nervous System(2024)
Abstract
The perivascular spaces of the brain are also known as Virchow-Robin spaces (VRSs). Dilated Virchow-Robin spaces in the brainstem are rare and mainly cause symptoms due to obstructive hydrocephalus, less frequently because of their size, mass effect, and impact on eloquent structures. We present a patient with giant tumefactive VRS with hydrocephalus and neurological symptoms who was treated with endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) followed by microscopic cyst fenestration. On the basis of this observation, we performed a thorough review of the literature to evaluate different treatment options. An 11-year-old girl presented with a headache for 3 months. The patient had a giant tumefactive mesencephalothalamic VRS with triventricular hydrocephalus. She was initially treated with endoscopic third ventriculostomy and multiple cyst fenestration. Symptomatic cyst regrowth required multiple cyst fenestrations via transcallosal transchoroidal (N = 2) and subtemporal approaches (N = 1) at the 2- and 4-year follow-ups. A literature review of these conditions allowed the detection of 12 cases (including our index case), and only 25

- Pretraining has recently greatly promoted the development of natural language processing (NLP)
- We show that M6 outperforms the baselines in multimodal downstream tasks, and the large M6 with 10 parameters can reach a better performance
- We propose a method called M6 that is able to process information of multiple modalities and perform both single-modal and cross-modal understanding and generation
- The model is scaled to large model with 10 billion parameters with sophisticated deployment, and the 10 -parameter M6-large is the largest pretrained model in Chinese
- Experimental results show that our proposed M6 outperforms the baseline in a number of downstream tasks concerning both single modality and multiple modalities We will continue the pretraining of extremely large models by increasing data to explore the limit of its performance
