Neurophysiological findings in conus medullaris infarction —a case report and systematic review of the literature
ConclusionAbsent F-waves and diminished CMAPs are the most common NCS abnormalities in CMI. Absent F-waves are detectable very early but tend to recover on subsequent NCS, while diminished CMAPs are detectable later but do not seem to resolve. Further research to determine the utility of neurophysiological studies in CMI diagnosis and prognostication is needed. (Source: Acta Neurologica Belgica)

Transcranial brain parenchyma sonography in patients with juvenile myoclonic epilepsy
ConclusionStructural changes of certain subcortical structures, primarily SN and RN, detected in JME patients indicate additional non-lesional abnormalities of the basal ganglia and midbrain structures in these patients. (Source: Acta Neurologica Belgica)

Intracranial extra-axial chondromas: clues to computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging diagnosis
ConclusionThe imaging appearances of frontal extra-axial chondromas and cavernous sinus chondromas may have different imaging appearances. Although there is a wide range of imaging findings, the absence of restricted diffusion, perifocal edema, enhancement, and presence of low signals on T1-weighted MR images in a well-circumscribed calcified extra-axial mass should suggest an intracranial chondroma.

Clinical features, cerebrospinal fluid changes, and prognosis in Chinese patients with autoimmune encephalitis
ConclusionThere are differences in age, gender, clinical characteristics, and CSF results in different subtypes of AE. First-line therapy failure would have poor functional recovery, and delayed therapy would increase the risk of relapse. Chloride ion content and white blood cell count in cerebrospinal fluid are positively correlated with the patient's exacerbation and admission to ICU. These indicators have certain clinical value for the prognosis of AE patients. (Source: Acta Neurologica Belgica)

Patients with restless legs syndrome exhibit reduced serum colony-stimulating factor-1, humanin-like 3 and 10 levels
ConclusionOur study showed that several neuroprotective genes were downregulated in RLS, which may confer susceptibility to neuronal death associated with decreased sleep efficiency. Microarray results differed between RLS and PD patients, suggesting diverse pathogenetic mechanisms. CSF-1, which is involved in iron, dopamine metabolism, and blood oxygenation, appears to partake in RLS pathophysiology. (Source: Acta Neurologica Belgica)
