Risks of neurological and psychiatric sequelae 2 years after hospitalisation or intensive care admission with COVID-19 compared to admissions for other causes
Brain Behav Immun. 2023 May 30:S0889-1591(23)00132-0. doi: 10.1016/j.bbi.2023.05.014. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe association between COVID-19 and subsequent neurological and psychiatric disorders is well established. However, two important questions remain unanswered. First, what are the risks in those admitted to intensive care unit (ICU) with COVID-19? Admission to ICU is itself associated with neurological and psychiatric sequelae and it is not clear whether COVID-19 further increases those risks or changes their profile. Second, what are the trajectories of neurological and psychiatric risks in patients admitted...

Herpes-Simplex Virus 2: A New Player in Cerebral Vasculitis (P03.259)
CONCLUSIONS: The spectrum of atypical CNS manifestations related to HSV is emerging. We report a case of cerebral vasculitis, which was masked by the initial presentation as thalamic hemorrhage and followed by an encephalitic syndrome and multifocal ischemic stroke. The work-up revealed HSV-2 as a new and treatable cause of infectious vasculitis.Supported by: JS is supported by a scientific fellowship from the European Federation of Neurological Societies.Disclosure: Dr. Sellner has nothing to disclose.

Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis associated with dengue infection: A case report with literature review
Abstract: Dengue is the commonest arboviral illness caused by four antigenically distinct dengue virus serotypes (DEN-1 through DEN-4). The clinical spectrum of the disease ranges from asymptomatic or mild infection to catastrophic dengue shock syndrome (DSS). In last few years, neurological manifestations of dengue infection have been increasingly observed and reported mainly with serotypes DEN-2 and DEN-3. The pathogenesis of neurological manifestations includes: neurotrophic effect of the dengue virus, related to the systemic effects of dengue infection, and immune mediated. Encephalopathy and encephalitis are the most ...

N-type calcium channel antibody-mediated paraneoplastic limbic encephalitis: A diagnostic challenge
Conclusion: This case highlights limbic encephalitis as an atypical presentation of neuroendocrine cancer. It also illustrates how treatment of the underlying cancer can reverse limbic encephalitis and Lambert–Eaton myasthenic syndrome in a neuroendocrine carcinoma patient even before the paraneoplastic panel becomes negative.

Multiple cerebral infarctions with severe multi-organ dysfunction following multiple wasp stings
Mushtaq Wani, Sheikh Saleem, Sawan Verma, Irfan Yousuf, Maqbool Wani, Ravouf Asimi, Riyaz Ahmed Daga, Irfan Shah, AejazAnnals of Indian Academy of Neurology 2014 17(1):125-127Wasp and bee sting are commonly encountered worldwide. Local reactions are more common, generally are self-limiting and settle within a few hours. Multiple stings can lead to various clinical manifestations like vomiting, diarrhea, dyspnea, generalized edema, hypotension, syncope, acute renal failure, and even death. Rarely, they can cause vasculitis, serum sickness, neuritis, and encephalitis. We are reporting a case of 40-year-old male who presented...

Sinus Bradycardia Localizes Where? (P1.129)
Discussion: Different possible mechanisms of autonomic dysfunction are discussed based on the anatomy of the lesions. Such mechanisms include sympathetic withdrawal due to a lesion of the descending sympathetic tract causing parasympathetic disinhibition, imbalance within the parasympathetic system itself, or disruption of the feedback circuits involving the parabrachial nucleus in the pons. It is also discussed whether laterality plays a role in the autonomic nervous system and whether compensatory mechanisms might take over in the subacute phase. This topic is of clinical interest as initial presentation with severe brad...

NeurologicManifestations of Neglected Tropical Diseases (P4.295)
CONCLUSIONS: Neurological manifestations of NTDs cause significant morbidity and mortality, although data are limited. The evidence for treatments of neurologic complications is limited for most NTDs. Increased awareness of neurologic manifestations of NTDs can promote early identification and treatment, thereby contributing to ongoing elimination and eradication campaigns.Study Supported by: NADisclosure: Dr. Raibagkar has nothing to disclose.

Voltage Gated Calcium Channels Antibody-Associated Autoimmune Encephalitis (P5.228)
ConclusionThis case demonstrates a correlation between a high titer of VGCC antibodies and autoimmune encephalitis. Our patient's initial improvement with steroids and plasma exchange in the face of a negative CT and PET suggests a primary autoimmune process rather than a paraneoplastic etiology, though we admit that it is premature to rule out remission and we will continue to follow herDisclosure: Dr. Alwaki has nothing to disclose.

Paroxysmal Dysarthria and Ataxia after Treatment of Brainstem Encephalitis (P6.053)
CONCLUSIONS: Paroxysmal dysarthria and ataxia is most often recognized as a complication of multiple sclerosis, but it can occur in other neurologic diseases with midbrain lesions near or involving the red nucleus. Effective treatments include carbamazepine, acetazolamide, lamotrigine, and phenytoin.Study Supported by: N/A.Disclosure: Dr. Klaas has nothing to disclose. Dr. Boes has nothing to disclose.
