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...

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.

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 ...

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.

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.
