Cerebrovascular Complications After Adult-Onset Varicella-Zoster Virus Encephalitis in the Central Nervous System: A Literature Review
CONCLUSION: Ischemic stroke was the majority of cerebrovascular complications after VZV encephalitis, which mainly occurred in middle-aged men. The lesions of VZV-associated cerebral infarction or hemorrhage were multifocal and did not accord with the characteristics of cerebrovascular diseases induced by atherosclerosis. The patients with venous sinus thrombosis had a relatively good prognosis. When the patient represents with some neurological symptoms about one month after VZV encephalitis, and multiple lesions probably induced by vasculitis are showed in neuroimaging, cerebrovascular complications related to VZV infect...

Primary Central Nervous System Vasculitis Triggered by Cytomegalovirus Encephalitis (P01.231)
CONCLUSIONS: Our case is the first reported case in the literature of proven CMV encephalitis triggering a subsequent non-infectious CNS vasculitis probably secondary to an autoimmune response. The absence of findings in the initial MRIs of the brain in spite of an intermittently symptomatic patient and the subsequent development of ischemic infarcts supports the theory of intermittent focal hypoperfusion, finally leading to infarction. The high clinical suspicion even with lack of clear evidence of the disease process and empirical treatment led to a successful clinical recovery.Disclosure: Dr. Rosales has nothing to disc...

Pseudo-Hyperdense Middle Cerebral Artery in HSV Encephalitis (P02.025)
CONCLUSIONS: A hyperdense middle cerebral artery 'sign' can be associated with acute thrombus1, but several conditions (including encephalitis related cerebral edema) can give the appearance of a 'pseudo'-hyperdense MCA 'sign'.2 REFERENCES 1.

The Clinical Features and Prognosis of Patients with Nonconvulsive Status Epilepticus in the Neurological Intensive Care Unit of a Tertiary Referral Center in Turkey.
Abstract
The availability of video electroencephalography monitoring (VEEGM) in neurological intensive care units has allowed the recognition and treatment of nonconvulsive status epilepticus (NCSE). However, little is known about characteristics, management, and outcomes in patients with NCSE in developing countries. We retrospectively reviewed the video-EEG reports of 120 patients who were monitored from November 2009 to March 2013. Indications for video-EEG were mostly unexplained alterations of consciousness or witnessed convulsive seizures. We identified the clinical characteristics, treatment regimes, and ou...

Young woman with a four-year history of epilepsy and progressive focal cortical atrophy — What is the diagnosis?
We report the case of a young woman with a four-year history of epilepsy that progressed rapidly as evidenced by the development of progressive focal cortical atrophy. She underwent biopsy that showed perinatal ischemia and a prominent inflammatory response, including T-cell infiltration and microglial activation. There was no consensus reached on the final diagnosis although the hypothesis of dual pathology (adult variant of Rasmussen's encephalitis and perinatal stroke) was considered. The possible role of inflammation in the progression of epilepsy caused by a “static” lesion (perinatal stroke) is discussed.

Paroxysmal sympathetic hyperactivity in neurological critical care
Conclusion: PSH is an unusual complication in neurocritical care. It prolonged the hospitalization and hampers recovery. The other life-threatening conditions that mimic PSH should be excluded. The association with JE and tuberculous meningitis was not previously described in literature.

Common etiologies of acute symptomatic seizures evolving from lateralized periodic discharges in patients monitored with continuous EEG (P2.233)
Conclusions:The most common high risk etiologies of acute symptomatic seizures evolving from lateralized periodic discharges in our cohort of patients were ischemic stroke, tumor, encephalitis, and subdural hematoma. Recognition of these etiologic factors may influence the duration of continuous EEG monitoring employed or the decision to institute seizure prophylaxis. A larger cohort of patients should be reviewed in a future study to confirm these findings.Disclosure: Dr. Mathew has nothing to disclose. Dr. Piran has nothing to disclose.

Case report: Central nervous system involvement of human graft versus host diseaseReport of 7 cases and a review of literature
We report 7 cases of CNS-GvHD among which two had histological-proven disease. We reviewed 32 additional cases of CNS GvHD published in literature since 1990. In this cohort, 34 patients were transplanted for hematologic malignancies, and 5 for non-malignant hematopoiesis disorders. Of these patients, 25 had a history of chronic GvHD and immunosuppressive treatment had been decreased or discontinued in 14 patients before neurological symptoms onset. Median neurological disorder onset was 385 days [7-7320]. Patients had stroke-like episodes (n = 7), lacunar syndromes (n = 3), multiple sclerosis-like presentations (n...
