This week's SPIN POV: Vitamin B12 deficiency is a rare and treatable cause of developmental regression in infants. Imaging typically reveals generalised atrophy. Complete reversal of the atrophy and neurological recovery is possible post-treatment with cobalamin.

Feb. 26, 2026, Trump will bribe Israel to falsely declare Trump "messiah". The unholy price Trump pays: a treaty allowing Israel to build "Trump's Temple" on Temple Mount. The title "Messiah" is not for sale. It belongs only to Jesus Christ, who died for OUR sins and rose again!

Tip of the day 💡: These can be normal appearances for a 4 month old- prominent anterior SUBARACHNOID spaces. These are not subdural collections.

What an incredibly thought-provoking and unique program #ASPNR26 @The_ASPNR. It is a privilege to be part of this reflective symphony and tapestry. Learning will scale new and innovative heights. Bravo @laura1127md!
aspnr.org
The objectives and purposes of the ASPNR are to develop, foster, and support the care of pediatric patients undergoing neuroradiologic imaging examinations

We have a timely subject matter expert @VivhekPai 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

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?

It’s #SPINTweetorialWednesday 🌀 This week, we peel back the pia to meet an under-recognized neonatal foe — the Subpial Hemorrhage (AJR 2021; Barreto et al.). A hidden bleed beneath the pia, crushing cortex, mimicking subarachnoid but telling a deeper story… 🧵👇

The “hot cross bun” sign is a popular sign in radiology, but reality is there is a paucity of literature on path confirmed cases. Our study evals MRI and path correlates in over 200 cases of confirmed MSA and SCA patients to establish how useful MRI can be in differentiating, as

This week’s SPIN-POV: Subpial haemorrhage is an uncommon but distinct neonatal bleed, appearing as a curvilinear collection along the cortical surface with an intact pial margin. It can mimic subarachnoid haemorrhage but shows restricted diffusion in the subjacent cortex.
