Pediatric low-grade gliomas are among the most common childhood neoplasms, yet their post-treatment surveillance remains nonstandardized, relying on arbitrarily chosen imaging intervals. ⋯ Our data suggest that postoperative surveillance of pediatric low-grade gliomas can be effectively performed using less frequent imaging compared to current practice, thereby improving adherence to follow-up, and quality-of-life, while reducing costs.

Whether delayed cerebral infarction (DCIn) after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) is driven by large artery vasospasm is still controversial. ⋯ The necessary association between severe vasospasm and DCIn in our study brings additional arguments in favor of large artery vasospasm (especially of distal segments) as a major determinant of DCIn and a potential therapeutic target.
