Understanding the neurotropic characteristics of SARS-CoV-2: from neurological manifestations of COVID-19 to potential neurotropic mechanisms
AbstractCoronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), a disease caused by the novel betacoronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), has become a global pandemic threat. The potential involvement of COVID-19 in central nervous system (CNS) has attracted considerable attention due to neurological manifestations presented throughout the disease process. In addition, SARS-CoV-2 is structurally similar to SARS-CoV, and both bind to the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor to enter human cells. Thus, cells expressing ACE2, such as neurons and glial cells may act as targets and are thus vulnerable to SARS-CoV-2 infection. Here, we have reviewed ...

Medical and Paramedical Care of Patients With Cerebellar Ataxia During the COVID-19 Outbreak: Seven Practical Recommendations of the COVID 19 Cerebellum Task Force
The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV2), the cause of the current pandemic coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), primarily targets the respiratory system. Some patients also experience neurological signs and symptoms ranging from anosmia, ageusia, headache, nausea, and vomiting to confusion, encephalitis, and stroke. Approximately 36% of those with severe COVID-19 experience neurological complications. The virus may enter the central nervous system through the olfactory nerve in the nasal cavity and damage neurons in the brainstem nuclei involved in the regulation of respiration. Patients with cerebe...

MEDICAL AND PARAMEDICAL CARE OF PATIENTS WITH CEREBELLAR ATAXIA DURING THE COVID-19 OUTBREAK: 7 PRACTICAL RECOMMENDATIONS The COVID 19 Cerebellum Task Force
The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV2), the cause of current coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), primarily targets the respiratory system. Some patients also experience neurologic signs and symptoms ranging from anosmia, ageusia, headache, nausea and vomiting to confusion, encephalitis and stroke. Approximately 36% of those with severe COVID-19 experience neurological complications. The virus may enter the central nervous system through the olfactory nerve in the nasal cavity and damage neurons in the brainstem nuclei involved in the regulation of respiration. Patients with cerebellar ataxia (CA) ...

Unilateral Cortical Fluid-Attenuated Inversion Recovery –Hyperintense Lesions in Anti-Myelin Oligodendrocyte Glycoprotein–Associated Encephalitis With Seizures (FLAMES): An Under-recognized Entity
We read with interest the article by Tutmaher et  al.1 They report an 11-year-old girl with acute-onset right hemiparesis concerning for stroke. Brain magnetic resonance imaging revealed mild left frontoparietal cortical T2-weighted fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) hyperintensity. She was ultimately diagnosed with myelin oligodendrocyt e glycoprotein-immunoglobulin G (MOG-IgG)–associated disease (MOGAD). MOGAD is a recently recognized subset of central nervous system inflammatory demyelinating diseases, to which children and young adults seem particularly predisposed.

Unilateral cortical FLAIR-hyperintense Lesions in Anti-MOG Encephalitis with Seizures (FLAMES): An under-recognized entity
We read with interest the article by Tutmaher et al.(1). The authors report an 11-year-old girl with acute-onset right hemiparesis concerning for stroke. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed mild left fronto-parietal cortical T2-fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) hyperintensity. She was ultimately diagnosed with myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG)-IgG-associated disease (MOGAD). MOGAD is a recently recognized subset of central nervous system inflammatory demyelinating diseases, to which children and young adults seem particularly pre-disposed(2).

Neurological complications of coronavirus and COVID-19.
CONCLUSIONS: Future epidemiological studies and case records should elucidate the real incidence of these neurological complications, their pathogenic mechanisms and their therapeutic options. PMID: 32329044 [PubMed - in process]

The PET Sandwich: Using Serial FDG-PET Scans with Interval Burst Suppression to Assess Ictal Components of Disease
ConclusionsIn appropriately selected patients, FDG-PET scans while in burst suppression may help dissect the underlying pathophysiologic cause of IIC findings observed on EEG and guide tailored therapy.

Adult onset MELAS Syndrome Presenting as A Mimic of Herpes Simplex Encephalitis.
CONCLUSION: The clinical presentation and imaging studies of MELAS in adults are variable and may mimic those of HSE. Antiviral therapy should be administered until the diagnosis of MELAS is definitive. Infection and metformin may have also precipitated MELAS manifestation in this patient. Clinicians should avoid potential mitochondrial-toxic drugs in these patients. PMID: 31867706 [PubMed - in process]

Mumps encephalitis with bilateral hippocampal lesions preceding parotitis
Bilateral hippocampal lesions can be a feature in both infectious and autoimmune limbic encephalitis. Although rare, mumps meningoencephalitis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of bilateral hippocampal lesions, especially in the presence of symptoms suggestive of systemic and/or CNS infection.

Central Nervous System Opportunistic Infections
Semin Neurol 2019; 39: 383-390 DOI: 10.1055/s-0039-1687842Opportunistic infections of the central nervous system are classically associated with immunosuppression arising from infection with human immunodeficiency virus and with various hematologic malignancies. However, over the past few years, they are increasingly associated with transplantation and various immunosuppressive treatments used to treat autoimmune diseases. They cause significant morbidity and mortality and remain a diagnostic challenge due to the absence of typical signs and symptoms of infection and mimicry by various noninfectious causes. The pathogens a...

Neurological complications associated with dengue virus infection.
CONCLUSIONS: The spectrum of neurological complications from dengue virus is broad. There are no reliable data on its real incidence because most of the studies published to date are isolated series or cases. PMID: 31310001 [PubMed - in process]

Tick-borne Encephalitis: Stroke-like Presentation
We report a unique case of clinical symptoms and radiological findings compatible with a stroke-like inflammatory lesion in the thalamus, suggesting microangiopathy from TBEV. Our case shows that TBEV could be a possible cause of stroke-like lesions.

Neurological Perspectives of Neurogenic Pulmonary Edema
Background: Neurogenic pulmonary edema (NPE) is characterized by acute respiratory distress triggered by acute, severe compromise of the central nervous system (CNS). This review aims at summarizing and discussing recent and previous findings about the type and frequency of CNS triggers of NPE, pathogenesis, diagnosis, treatment, and outcome of patients experiencing NPE.Key Messages: NPE is diagnosed in the presence of pink, frothy sputum, pulmonary edema, bilateral opacities on X-ray, PaO2:PiO2 #x3c;200 mm Hg, acute CNS compromise with increased intra-cranial pressure, rapid resolution within 48 –72 h, and the absence o...
