The Guillain-Mollaret triangle: a key player in motor coordination and control with implications for neurological disorders
AbstractThe dentato-rubro-olivary pathway, also known as the Guillain-Mollaret triangle (GMT) or myoclonic triangle, consists of the dentate nucleus, the red nucleus, and the inferior olivary nucleus (ION). GMT is important for motor coordination and control, and abnormalities in this network can lead to various neurological disorders. The present study followed a systematic approach in conducting a review on GMT studies. The inclusion criteria were limited to human subjects with primary objectives of characterizing and evaluating GMT syndromes, and the methodology used was not a determining factor for eligibility. The sea...

Acute dysphagia: A rare initial symptom of lateral medullary syndrome: A case report
CONCLUSION: The diagnosis of LMS was queried owing to the presentation of the single most important common symptom, with no other characteristic manifestations of LMS.PMID:36582892 | PMC:PMC9793181 | DOI:10.1016/j.amsu.2022.104851

Adult-onset Krabbe disease presenting with progressive myoclonic epilepsy and asymmetric occipital lesions: A case report
We reported the case of an adult-onset KD presenting with progressive myoclonic epilepsy (PME) and cortical lesions mimicking mitochondrial encephalomyopathy, lactic acidosis, and stroke-like episodes (MELAS) syndrome. The whole-exome sequencing (WES) identified a pathogenic homozygous missense mutation of the GALC gene. Parents of the patient were heterozygous for the mutation. The clinical, electrophysiological, and radiological data of the patient were retrospectively analyzed. The patient was a 24-year-old woman presenting with generalized seizures, progressive cognitive decline, psychiatric symptoms, gait ataxia, and ...

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).

Post-varicella neurological complications: A preliminary observation from a tertiary care centre of Eastern India
Conclusion: Chickenpox is a common viral disease and most patients recover without any complication. Although rare, neurological complications following acute varicella infection may have myriad presentations ranging from lower motor neuron facial palsy to life-threatening encephalitis. Compared to other studies, varicella encephalitis and ataxia were not so common in our study group. Response to therapy was uniformly good except in the patients presenting with ataxia. Response was particularly good to central and peripheral demyelinating disorders.

Epilepsia Partialis Continua a Clinical Feature of a Missense Variant in the ADCK3 Gene and Poor Response to Therapy
ConclusionsA novel homozygous missense variant [NM_020247.5: c.814G>T; (p.Gly272Cys)] was identified within theADCK3 gene, which is the first mutation in this gene in the Iranian population. Bioinformatics analysis showed this variant is damaging. Based on our patient, clinicians should consider genetic testing earlier to instant diagnosis and satisfactory treatment based on exact etiology to prevent further neurologic sequelae.

Eagle Syndrome: A Rare Cause of Stroke in a Young Patient
We report the case of a 26-year-old man who presented to the emergency department because he noticed that his right hand had become clumsy. He first noticed this symptom five days before his presentation, but he noticed that his symptom had improved significantly since it began. He reported that he had episodes of neck pain and pain around the ear. He visited the family physician clinic several times for this complaint and was diagnosed as having a temporomandibular joint disorder. Neurological examination revealed decreased muscle strength in the right upper limb with a power of 4/5 along with a sensory deficit. The coord...

Stroke-like lesions in mitochondrial disease may resemble ischemic stroke
J Family Med Prim Care. 2021 Aug;10(8):3151-3153. doi: 10.4103/jfmpc.jfmpc_2314_20. Epub 2021 Aug 27.ABSTRACTThe patient is a 73-y-male who was referred after a fall without losing consciousness or secessus. Clinical exam revealed disorientation, ophthalmoparesis, hemianopia to the left, left hemineglect, hypoacusis, quadruparesis, general wasting, generally reduced tendon reflexes, mild rigor, occasional myoclonic jerks of the right lower limb, and ataxia of the left lower limb. Cerebral magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a stroke-like lesion (SLL), generalized atrophy, white matter lesions, and ponsgliosis. The prev...

Progressive Ataxia and Downbeat Nystagmus in an Adult
A 63-year-old man presented with a history of vomiting, hypertension, dyslipidemia, type 2 diabetes, dilated ischemic cardiomyopathy, alcohol use, and stroke; physical examination found appendicular dysmetria with truncal ataxia and downbeat nystagmus. Brain magnetic resonance imaging revealed a hyperintensity on T2-weighted and fluid-attenuated inversion recovery sequences without reduced diffusion in the cerebellar nodule. What is your diagnosis?
