Bilateral Frontal Cerebral Infarctions Presenting as Ascending Weakness: Case Report (P1.023)
CONCLUSIONS: To our knowledge there are only a few case reports describing bilateral frontal cerebral infarctions due to a single A2 segment of the anterior cerebral artery. Bilateral cerebral infarctions should be considered in patients with symmetric weakness, especially in those with vascular risk factors who do not have features consistent with an alternative etiology. Reflexes are an important feature in distinguishing between central and peripheral lesions and should be closely monitored in these patients. Timely diagnosis will enable early delivery of thrombolytic therapy to these patients improving outcomes.Disclos...

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.

Epileptic Seizure as a Precipitating Factor of Vascular Progressive Supranuclear Palsy: A Case Report
Conclusions: vPSP is a condition that should be considered when a patient presents with a gradually progressive clinical picture suggestive of idiopathic PSP associated with neuroimaging evidence of cerebrovascular disease. The occurrence of epileptic seizures has not been reported before in vPSP but they might trigger the onset or precipitate the course of the PSP-like disorders.
