Four hours prior, he could not read properly or string words together and felt tired. He developed a headache followed by expressive aphasia, agitation and vomiting. A right-sided lower facial droop was noted that resolved in a couple of hours. He played a rugby match in the morning and there was a history of minor head injury without loss of consciousness. He started to develop self-resolving apnoeic episodes each lasting for 30&nd...

As some hail new antibody treatment for Alzheimer ’s, safety and benefit questions persist
In a packed San Francisco conference room with a celebratory atmosphere, upbeat company representatives and scientists yesterday presented detailed clinical trial data on the first Alzheimer’s treatment shown to clearly, albeit modestly, slow the disease’s normal cognitive decline. The antibody therapy has buoyed a field marked by decades of failures. Now, it appears to be on the cusp of being greenlit by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Yet other researchers warn of potential risks, including brain swelling and brain hemorrhages that were linked to the recently disclosed deaths of two trial participants wh...

Ocular Migraine With Amaurosis Fugax of the Left Eye: A Case Report
Cureus. 2022 Aug 22;14(8):e28272. doi: 10.7759/cureus.28272. eCollection 2022 Aug.ABSTRACTIn amaurosis fugax, there is a sudden loss of vision in one eye. Patients gain their vision after a few minutes. The most common underlying cause is atherosclerosis of the internal carotid artery. Other underlying causes include vasospasm of the internal carotid artery, which leads to hypoperfusion and is seen in vasculitis, ocular migraines, and systemic lupus erythematosus. In this case study, a 44-year-old male with a past medical history of migraine with aura presented to the emergency room with transient vision loss in the left e...

Spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage, initial computed tomography (CT) scan findings, clinical manifestations and possible risk factors
In this study, we aimed to evaluate the initial computed tomography (CT) scan findings, clinical manifestations and possible risk factors of patients with intracerebral hemorrhage. This is a cross-sectional study that was performed in 2015-2022 on 900 patients with definite diagnosis of intracerebral hemorrhage. Data of patients were evaluated for patient's age, gender, clinical manifestations, primary radiologic signs in CT scan and possible risks factors for stroke. Lobar hemorrhage was the most common site of involvement (324 patients, 36%) followed by lenticular (putamen) (294 patients, 32.7%) and thalamus (135 patient...

Infratentorial developmental venous anomaly concurrent with a cavernoma and dural arteriovenous fistula
A 32-year-old woman underwent a head computed tomography scan after a traffic accident. A calcification in the left cerebellar hemisphere was disclosed. She did not complain of any symptoms, but neurological examination revealed cerebellar ataxia. She did not have any preceding episodes since birth, such as acute-onset headache. Magnetic resonance imaging showed past hemorrhage of the calcification lesion suggestive of a cerebellar cavernoma. A dilated vascular structure was also observed (Fig.  1A, B).

136 Coincidential hydrocephalus in twins with CMT1X
Discussion Despite the finding of hydrocephalus in both affected twins, further family evaluation confirmed the hydrocephalous not to segregate with the GJB1 mutation. This highlights the importance of detailed phenotype segregation studies before diagnosing an atypical phenotype with genetic diseases. Alterna- tive genetic causes for the hydrocephalus are being sought. 1) Vivekanandam V, Hoskote C, Rossor AM, Reilly MM. CNS phenotype in X linked Charcot- Marie-Tooth disease.

011 Progressive myoclonic epilepsy due to rare mitochondrial ND6 mutation, m.14487T>C
We report the case of a 43-year old man with adult-onset drug-resistant epilepsy, cortical myoclonus and bilateral optic neuropathies. Serial MRI scans over a two year period demonstrated the interval devel- opment of bihemispheric stroke-like lesions. Giant somatosensory evoked potentials and short-duration myoclonic jerks with craniocaudal spread on surface-EMG were consistent with cortical myoclonus. Optical coherence tomography showed bilateral symmetric thinning of the nerve fibre layer in the pap- illomacular bundles. Muscle biopsy was non-diagnostic, however next-generation whole mitochondrial gene sequencing identi...

Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis as a complication of COVID-19 infection - A case report
CONCLUSION: High index of suspicion of CVST is necessary when a patient presents with unexplained neurological manifestation following a recent COVID-19 infection to prevent from life-threatening complications. Furthermore, clinicians should not underestimate the multisystem involvement of COVID-19.PMID:35127077 | PMC:PMC8800506 | DOI:10.1016/j.amsu.2022.103326
