This study aimed to explore prognostic factors by analyzing clinical, radiological, therapeutic, and genetic data from a single-institution cohort.We retrospectively reviewed adult patients (≥18 years) with isocitrate dehydrogenase-mutant and 1p/19q-codeleted oligodendrogliomas who underwent surgical resection at our institution between 1999 and 2021, with available preoperative magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography. CDKN2A/B copy number status was assessed using multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification and confirmed by fluorescence in situ hybridization. Overall survival and progression-free survival were analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method and Cox proportional hazards models. For overall survival, simple multivariable Cox models adjusted for age and Karnofsky Performance Status were constructed.A total of 32 patients were included. The median age was 40 years, and the median Karnofsky Performance Status was 90. Calcification and corpus callosum invasion were observed in 46.9% and 40.6% of cases, respectively, and CDKN2A/B hemizygous deletion was identified in four cases.

However, the relationship between onset-to-imaging time, hemorrhage location, and leakage sign positivity remains unclear. Data from 144 patients with primary supratentorial intracerebral hemorrhage were retrospectively collected and divided into 2 groups: leakage sign-positive (n = 58) and leakage sign-negative (n = 86) groups. Clinical characteristics, radiological findings, and outcomes were compared, and correlations between hematoma size, onset-to-imaging time, and blood pressure at admission were assessed. Leakage sign-positive patients were significantly older, more frequently underwent antithrombotic therapy, and exhibited larger hematomas, a higher incidence of spot sign(s), a greater need for surgical intervention, and worse outcomes than their leakage sign-negative counterparts. Leakage sign was detectable within 5 hours of onset. In putaminal hemorrhage, hematoma size demonstrated a significant time-dependent increase, particularly in patients who were leakage sign-positive. Moreover, in leakage sign-positive putaminal hemorrhage, admission systolic blood pressure was strongly correlated with hematoma size, suggesting a synergistic effect between hypertension and ongoing bleeding. In contrast, there was no significant correlation between time and hematoma size in thalamic or subcortical hemorrhages, although trends were noted in subcortical cases. These findings indicate that leakage sign positivity reflects ongoing hyperacute bleeding, with diagnostic validity limited to within 5 hours of onset. Early detection of leakage sign, especially in cases of putaminal hemorrhage, may help identify high-risk patients who could benefit from aggressive interventions to mitigate hematoma expansion and improve outcomes.</p>","PeriodicalId":19225,"journal":{"name":"Neurologia medico-chirurgica","volume":" ","pages":"208-215"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2026-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13168797/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147326611","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
