Neurosarcoidosis with chronic cough and Horner's syndrome
Pract Neurol. 2023 Dec 30:pn-2023-003816. doi: 10.1136/pn-2023-003816. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTA 62-year-old man attended ophthalmology for a simple ptosis repair. He had a chronic cough, a Horner's syndrome with post-gustatory hyperhidrosis. He was referred to the respiratory and neurology teams. MR scan of his head and neck found evidence of multifocal disease at the skull base and carotid canal, and further tests identified additional deposits in the hilar lymph nodes, heart and sacrum. A transbronchial biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of sarcoidosis. His symptoms and imaging responded well to corticosteroids, but h...

Ehlers-Danlos syndromes: importance of defining the type
Pract Neurol. 2023 Dec 30:pn-2023-003703. doi: 10.1136/pn-2023-003703. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTEhlers-Danlos syndromes (EDS) is an umbrella term describing 14 types, of which 13 are rare and monogenic, with overlapping features of joint hypermobility, skin, and vascular fragility, and generalised connective tissue friability. Hypermobile EDS currently has no identified genetic cause. Most of the rare monogenic EDS types can have neurological features, which are often part of major or minor diagnostic criteria for each type. This review aims to highlight the neurological features and other key characteristics of these...

Rituximab leading to an atypical presentation of neuroborreliosis and false negative serology
Pract Neurol. 2023 Dec 22:pn-2023-003976. doi: 10.1136/pn-2023-003976. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTTwo patients, recently treated with the B-cell-depleting monoclonal antibody, rituximab, had 2-3 months of progressive systemic symptoms; comprehensive investigations did not clarify the diagnosis. Transient radicular pain at disease onset had suggested neuroborreliosis, but seronegativity and an atypical clinical course made this unlikely. However, PCR identified Borrelia burgdorferi DNA in cerebrospinal fluid, establishing the diagnosis of neuroborreliosis. Both the clinical picture and the laboratory findings can be atyp...

Neurological gait assessment
Pract Neurol. 2023 Dec 22:pn-2023-003917. doi: 10.1136/pn-2023-003917. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTGait disorders are a common feature of neurological disease. The gait examination is an essential part of the neurological clinical assessment, providing valuable clues to a myriad of causes. Understanding how to examine gait is not only essential for neurological diagnosis but also for treatment and prognosis. Here, we review aspects of the clinical history and examination of neurological gait to help guide gait disorder assessment. We focus particularly on how to differentiate between common gait abnormalities and highlig...
