Paroxysmal Dysarthria and Ataxia after Treatment of Brainstem Encephalitis (P6.053)
CONCLUSIONS: Paroxysmal dysarthria and ataxia is most often recognized as a complication of multiple sclerosis, but it can occur in other neurologic diseases with midbrain lesions near or involving the red nucleus. Effective treatments include carbamazepine, acetazolamide, lamotrigine, and phenytoin.Study Supported by: N/A.Disclosure: Dr. Klaas has nothing to disclose. Dr. Boes has nothing to disclose.

The Role of Toll-Like Receptor 3 in Epileptogenesis (I1-2.001)
Conclusion:These preliminary results -in a still ongoing study- indicate a central involvement of seizure induction (epileptogenesis) by TLR3 and provide evidence for future research and possibly drug development to finally change the treatment paradigm of epilepsy from symptomatic seizure control to curable prevention of seizure development.Disclosure: Dr. Benninger has nothing to disclose. Dr. Gross has nothing to disclose. Dr. Steiner has received personal compensation for activities with Actelion and Hoffman La Roche. Dr. Offen has nothing to disclose. Dr. Okun has nothing to disclose.

Limbic encephalitis: Clinical spectrum and long-term outcome from a developing country perspective
Conclusion: Early recognition of LE is important based upon clinical, MRI data in the absence of antineuronal surface antibody screen in developing nations. Early institution of immunotherapy will help in improvement in outcome of these patients in long-term.

Progressive limbic encephalopathy: Problems and prospects
Conclusion: All patients who present with new onset neuropsychiatric symptoms need to be evaluated for sub-acute infections, inflammation, autoimmune limbic encephalitis and paraneoplastic syndrome. A repeated 20 minute EEG is a very effective screening tool to detect organicity.

Occurrence of communication and swallowing problems in neurological disorders: Analysis of forty patients
CONCLUSIONS: It can be concluded that speech, language and swallowing problems are frequent in individuals with neurological conditions. Speech language pathologist plays an important role as a member of the rehabilitation team in a neurological setup with respect to identifying these problems and initiating intervention at the earliest. Hence, it is necessary for speech language pathologist to be well versed with the features each disorder may present with in terms of communication and swallowing.

Inferior Cerebellar Peduncular Lesion Causes a Distinct Vestibular Syndrome (P1.332)
CONCLUSIONS: Unilateral ICP lesion at the pontine level mimics acute peripheral vestibular disorders. However, directional dissociation between OTR/SVV tilt and body lateropulsion with normal head impulse or caloric tests may be a sign distinguishing lesions involving unilateral ICP at the pontine level from those affecting other vestibular structures.

Limbic Encephalitis Exacerbations and Remissions Charted by Microglial PET Scan: A Case Study (P4.104)
CONCLUSIONS: C-11-PK11195 PET imaging can be useful in the diagnosis of limbic encephalitis and for monitoring response to treatment. MALT lymphoma may also be associated with autoimmune or paraneoplastic encephalitis, especially in individuals with other predisposing factors to autoimmune disorders, such as Tourette’s and autoimmune thyroid disease. The reduction in microglial activity with both IVIG and anti-psychotics supports previous findings that anti-psychotics may act through anti-inflammatory pathways.Disclosure: Dr. Shatz has received research support from Janssen Pharmaceutica.

Predictors of Poor Outcome in Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome: Retrospective Analysis of Nationwide Inpatient Sample (S32.006)
CONCLUSIONS: In patients admitted for neuroleptic malignant syndrome, every decade increment in age, acute kidney injury, seizures and respiratory failure were positive predictors of poor outcome. Every calendar year increase was a negative predictor of poor outcome. Study Supported by:Disclosure: Dr. Modi has nothing to disclose. Dr. Dharaiya has nothing to disclose.

The Expression and Significance of the Plasma Let-7 Family in Anti- N -methyl- d -aspartate Receptor Encephalitis
Abstract The study aimed to investigate the expression and significance of the plasma let-7 family in anti-N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) encephalitis. Blood samples from 5 anti-NMDAR encephalitis patients and 5 negative controls were collected for microarray analysis. Blood samples from10 anti-NMDAR encephalitis patients, 10 anti-NMDAR encephalitis patients whose physical conditions have improved after 3 months of immunotherapy, 20 virus (meningitis) encephalitis patients, 20 tuberculosis (meningitis) encephalitis patients, 10 purulent (meningitis) encephalitis patients, 20 cerebral cysticercosis patient...

Conventional and diffusion-weighted MRI of the hippocampus.
Authors: Szabo K, Förster A, Gass A Abstract The human hippocampus is a highly complex structure located on the medial surface of the cerebral hemispheres as a part of the intralimbic gyrus. For clinical purposes, in addition to routine transverse MRI slices, acquisitions parallel and perpendicular to the long axis of the hippocampus need to be performed to fully appreciate its curved anatomy. Clinicians should be acquainted with the normal appearance of the hippocampus regarding size, shape, symmetry, and signal as well as with the width and form of the cerebrospinal fluid spaces surrounding the hippocampus to be...

Presentation and Rehabilitation In A Patient With Toxoplasmosis Encephalitis: A Case Study and Review
Publication date: Available online 22 January 2016 Source:PM&R Author(s): Ryan Mattie, Zack McCormick, Henry Huie Toxoplasma gondii is an opportunistic infection that often presents in the setting of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). The infection can cause severe and potentially fatal encephalitis due to the reactivation of latent infections in the setting of immune suppression. Diagnosing toxoplasmosis encephalitis in immunocompromised patients is often difficult because the signs and symptoms can be non-specific, but making a diagnosis of TE is even more challenging in a patient who is not known to...

What Genetics are Associated with Multiple Sclerosis?
Discussion Multiple sclerosis (MS) is “a chronic degenerative, often episodic disease of the central nervous system marked by patchy destruction of the myelin that surrounds and insulates nerve fibers, usually appearing in young adulthood and manifested by one or more mild to severe neural and muscular impairments, as spastic weakness in one or more limbs, local sensory losses, bladder dysfunction, or visual disturbances.” It is a chronic disease and therefore symptoms must occur more than once. The first episode is called an acute demyelinating attack. Fifteen to forty-five percent of children with their first...

Sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease Presenting as Non-Convulsive Status Epilepticus: A Case Report (P1.333)
CONCLUSIONS: Non-convulsive status epilepticus is an extremely rare presentation of prion disease. To date, there have only been three reported cases in the literature. This case highlights the need to consider prion disease as an etiology in NCSE and NORSE.Disclosure: Dr. Alobaidy has nothing to disclose. Dr. Parker has nothing to disclose.

Acute Diffusion-Weighted MRI Abnormalities in Status Epilepticus (P4.190)
Conclusions: Our findings revealed that the abnormality on diffusion-weighted MRI and residual brain atrophy in status epilepticus is more frequent than previous study. These abnormalities may reflect the epileptogenic hyperexcitation and propagation of ictal discharge.Disclosure: Dr. Son has nothing to disclose.
