Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 5 (MEN5) is an autosomal dominant condition caused by mutations in the MAX gene, associated with pheochromocytomas, paragangliomas, and pituitary neuroendocrine tumors. There are other multiple endocrine neoplasia syndromes and these are discussed separately. Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 5 is considered very rare, but possibly underdiagnosed. In pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas, MAX mutations are found in 1-2% of cases 2.

CSF-lymphatic fistulas are a very rare, and possibly underdiagnosed, cause of spontaneous intracranial hypotension. They describe a direct communication between the spinal subarachnoid space and lymphatic vessels, allowing for the loss of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) directly into the lymphatic system. Descriptions of CSF-lymphatic fistulas are limited to case reports 1-7,9, and thus, it is likely that CSF-lymphatic fistulas are very rare.

Spaceflight-induced cerebral changes, or microgravity-induced cerebral changes, refer to the effects of prolonged microgravity exposure, through spaceflight, on the brain and surrounding structures. As the name suggests, spaceflight-induced cerebral changes are limited to patients who have experienced spaceflight and microgravity, i.e. astronauts. Therefore, patients with these changes are not likely to be encountered in the vast majority of radiology departments.
