First case of MELAS syndrome presenting with local brain edema requiring decompressive craniectomy
CONCLUSION: If the diagnosis and treatment are delayed, MELAS syndrome can cause serious brain edema, which may ultimately require decompressive craniectomy.PMID:34664704 | DOI:10.5137/1019-5149.JTN.34196-21.4

Central Nervous System Complications of Varicella-Zoster Virus
Conclusion: Neurologic complications of VZV infection continue to occur despite the availability of an effective vaccine. Neurologic symptom onset can predate the appearance of the VZV exanthem and in rare cases may occur in the absence of an exanthem.

De novo status epilepticus with isolated aphasia.
CONCLUSIONS: Magnetic resonance imaging findings were only subtle, and EEG was without clear ictal pattern, so the diagnosis of aphasic status remains with some uncertainty. However, status epilepticus can mimic stroke symptoms and has to be considered in patients with aphasia even when no previous stroke or structural lesions are detectable and EEG shows no epileptic discharges. Epileptic origin is favored when CT or MR imaging reveal no hypoperfusion. In this case, MRI was superior to CT in detecting hyperperfusion. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled "Status Epilepticus". PMID: 26044094 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Clinical implications for Translocator Protein (TSPO) imaging using 123ICLINDE SPECT: A feasible approach
Conclusions The preliminary results imply that [123I]CLINDE-SPECT is a feasible approach for TSPO imaging in neurological disorders associated with microglial activation and/or increased TSPO expression. The development of methods that do not need arterial blood sampling for quantification of TSPO will be important to ease implementation in a daily clinical setting. Further clinical studies are needed to determine the precise role of TSPO imaging in predicting clinical outcome and treatment response.

Assessment of pre-specified adverse events following varicella vaccine: A population-based self-controlled risk interval study.
CONCLUSIONS: We detected a small risk of incidental pneumonia associated with varicella vaccine in the 6th week after immunization. There was no increase in the risk of other pre-specified adverse events. PMID: 32046891 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Neurological manifestations in COVID-19: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
CONCLUSIONS: Stroke is the most frequently reported neurological manifestation in COVID-19 and has the highest mortality rate. Neurological manifestations tend to develop one to two weeks after the onset of respiratory disease. There is significant morbidity and mortality associated with COVID-19 neurological manifestations.

Clinical Correlates of Electroencephalographic Patterns in Critically Ill Patients.
CONCLUSION: Certain EEG patterns are associated with particular underlying etiologies like SWs for encephalitis, markedly attenuated EEG activity and burst suppression with large artery stroke and HIE, respectively. Whereas few EEG patterns, including periodic discharges, RDA, persistent focal slow wave activity have some prognostic value in critically ill patients. However, they cannot be used as markers for prognostic assessment of patients without considering other clinical and diagnostic variables. Further larger prospective studies with continuous EEG monitoring with control of confounding factors are needed. PMI...

Genes, Vol. 12, Pages 1643: Mitochondrial Strokes: Diagnostic Challenges and Chameleons
We describe four cases of mitochondrial strokes to highlight the considerable overlap that exists with other neurological disorders, including viral and autoimmune encephalitis, ischemic stroke, and central nervous system (CNS) vasculitis, and discuss the clinical, laboratory, and imaging features that can help distinguish MELAS from these differential diagnoses.

Wernicke ’s encephalopathy and cranial nerve VII palsy in a 24-year-old patient with COVID-19
ConclusionsThis case is one of three documented cases of Wernicke ’s encephalopathy believed to be caused by COVID-19 in patients without risk factors or chronic alcohol use. Ours is also the first case in which Wernicke’s encephalopathy presents with a concomitant cranial nerve VII palsy. While Emergency Medicine doctors must maintain a high index of suspicio n for stroke in younger patients with COVID-19, our patient’s case augments the correlation between COVID-19 and Wernicke’s encephalopathy in patients without other risk factors for developing the syndrome.

The pattern of neurocritical disorders in multicenter in Khartoum State November 2020 to January 2021
ConclusionStroke was the dominant diagnostic pattern requiring intensive care unit admission. Mechanical ventilation was the major indication for admission. Establishing specialized neurocritical intensive care units is highly recommended.
