Varicella zoster virus meningoencephalitis presenting as orbital myositis - a case report
Orbit. 2023 Aug 25:1-4. doi: 10.1080/01676830.2023.2248632. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe authors present a case of meningoencephalitis caused by Varicella zoster virus (VZV) infection, which initially manifested as orbital myositis followed by rapid progression to orbital apex syndrome, meningoencephalitis and death. There was no development of a cutaneous rash. An orbital biopsy demonstrated VZV infection, which was confirmed on a lumbar puncture. In this case, VZV meningoencephalitis was not responsive to steroid or antiviral therapy. This case highlights an atypical presentation of VZV with orbital myositis precedi...

P110/79 Drug delivery to the brain: does endovascular have a role?
ConclusionCPA delivery of AAV9 resulted in increased transduction of the parietal and cingulate cortex, comparable to that observed with CM injections. Provided is preliminary evidence that CPA infusion of gene therapy is safe and provides widespread distribution throughout the brain.Disclosure of InterestAM, CH,BB: CerevascHB, VA, EH, aL, RK, HG: Nothing to discloseMG: No relevant disclosures (Source: Journal of NeuroInterventional Surgery)

Decoding the data: a comment on the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association (AHA/ASA) 2023 Guideline for the Management of patients with Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage
Guideline summary The 2023 Guideline for the Management of Patients With Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage was recently released with endorsements from multiple societies, including the Society of NeuroInterventional Surgery.1 All who worked on this document should be congratulated for their work, as it provides many updates, and addresses new components of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) care. We encourage providers to thoroughly read the statement. While this Guideline statement is thorough, it is important to highlight opportunities for future research, and gaps in the literature, where rigorous adherence to ...

Retinal hemorrhages due to intracranial hypertension, is it possible to differentiate them from those associated with abuse?
CONCLUSIONS: RHs were not detected in patients with isolated nontraumatic increased ICP, measured via OP and diagnosed in the ED. Therefore, if RHs are detected, investigation into the possibility of AHT is warranted.PMID:37549636 | DOI:10.1016/j.chiabu.2023.106387 (Source: Child Abuse and Neglect)
