Mercury poisoning in a bodybuilder
Pract Neurol. 2024 Jan 22:pn-2023-003827. doi: 10.1136/pn-2023-003827. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTA 64-year-old man had progressive unsteadiness over several years, with tingling in his feet. He was a longstanding bodybuilding enthusiast. Clinical assessment and neurophysiology confirmed a cerebellar ataxia and axonal peripheral neuropathy. His serum mercury concentration was significantly raised. We diagnosed chronic mercury toxicity secondary to excessive tuna consumption. We advised him to stop eating tuna and prescribed dimercaptosuccinic acid, after which his serum mercury concentrations subsequently fell. This cas...

Sexual dysfunction and commonly used drugs in neurology
Pract Neurol. 2024 Jan 11:pn-2023-003760. doi: 10.1136/pn-2023-003760. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSexual dysfunction is common in men and women with neurological diseases. Medications used in neurology can cause sexual dysfunction independently of the disease process and this may adversely affect patients' quality of life. This review focuses on medications commonly prescribed to neurological patients that may contribute to altered sexual function, and discusses how they may differ in men and women.PMID:38212111 | DOI:10.1136/pn-2023-003760 (Source: Practical Neurology)

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...

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...
