Pre–Trauma Center Management of Intracranial Pressure in Severe Pediatric Traumatic Brain Injury
Conclusions Early increased ICP is a common presentation of severe pediatric TBI during pre–trauma center management. However, what constitutes optimal care remains unknown. Given the difficulties of diagnosing early increased ICP in this setting, prophylactic raising ICP-lowering strategies may be considered.

Modafinil for the Improvement of Patient Outcomes Following Traumatic Brain Injury
Conclusion. Modafinil is a central nervous system stimulant with well-established effectiveness in the treatment of narcolepsy and shift-work sleep disorder. There is conflicting evidence about the benefits of modafinil in the treatment of fatigue and EDS secondary to TBI. One randomized, controlled study states that modafinil does not significantly improve patient wakefulness, while another concludes that modafinil corrects EDS but not fatigue. An observational study provides evidence that modafinil increases alertness in fatigued patients with past medical history of brainstem diencephalic stroke or multiple sclerosis. ...

Carotid Artery Dissection With Associated Territory Stroke After a Minor Head Trauma in a Healthy 4-Month-Old Child
In conclusion, hyperextension and/or hyperrotation in minor head trauma is a possible pathomechanism for ICA dissection in infants. However, the scenario is extremely rare, and to our best knowledge, this is the first report describing it. In our patient, anticoagulation did not worsen hemorrhagic transformation.

Effects of non-physiological blood pressure artefacts on cerebral autoregulation
Cerebral autoregulation (CA) encompasses all the cerebral blood flow regulation mechanisms that maintain cerebral blood flow at an approximately constant level despite changes in arterial blood pressure (ABP). The importance of CA is highlighted by a connection between CA impairment and clinical disorders such as stroke [1], subarachnoid haemorrhage [2] and head injury [3].

Penetrating Head Injury by a Nail Gun: Case Report, Review of the Literature, and Management Considerations
We describe our successful strategy for removing an 8-cm nail that penetrated through the orbit and middle cranial fossa, with the tip lodged within the posterior fossa. Vascular imaging and balloon test occlusion are imperative in circumstances where vessel sacrifice is necessary.

Probable REM sleep behavior disorder and risk of stroke: A prospective study
Conclusions: Presence of pRBD was associated with a higher risk of developing stroke, including both ischemic and hemorrhagic types. Future studies with clinically confirmed RBD and a longer follow-up would be appropriate to further investigate this association.

Unknown patients and neurology casualty services in an Indian metropolitan city: A decades experience
Conclusions: Our findings demonstrate seizures, metabolic causes, and neuro-infections were the primary reasons for admission of unknown patients to neuro-emergency service. This novel Indian study data show the common causes of admission of unknown patients in neurology. This pattern can be useful to guide the approach of healthcare providers in India.

The role of delayed head CT in evaluation of elderly blunt head trauma victims taking antithrombotic therapy
ConclusionsD-CTH in elderly trauma patients taking antithrombotic agents shows no statistically significant or clinical benefit for diagnosing delayed intracranial hemorrhage after minor head injury. In those with delayed imaging showing new ICH, management was not significantly altered. Not enough data were available to predict which patients would develop D-ICH, even if asymptomatic.

Status epilepticus: Refractory and super-refractory
Deepanshu Dubey, Jayantee Kalita, Usha K MisraNeurology India 2017 65(7):12-17Status epilepticus (SE) is an important neurological emergency. It is defined as seizures lasting for 5 minutes or more or recurrent seizures without recovery of consciousness to baseline between the attacks. Refractory SE (RSE) is defined as SE persisting despite sufficient dose of benzodiazepines and at least one antiepileptic drug (AED), irrespective of time. Super refractory SE (SRSE) is defined as SE that continues for 24 hours or more after the use of anesthetic therapy, including cases that recur on weaning of the anesthestic agent. RSE oc...

Prevalence of epilepsy/seizures as a comorbidity of neurologic disorders in nursing homes
Conclusions: The prevalence of epi/sz in the elderly nursing home population is >7-fold higher compared to community-dwelling elderly and is 7 to 30 times higher among those with certain comorbid neurologic conditions. Demographics and clinical characteristics had weaker associations with epi/sz prevalence.

'Computer helps patients with severe MND communicate'
Conclusion It's hard to imagine the situation of being alert, aware of what's happening around you, but unable to move, respond or communicate with the outside world. So it is comforting, then, to hear that people with complete locked-in syndrome may be able to communicate – and may be relatively content with their situation. However, it's important to remember the limitations of this study. It's very small. Only four people took part, and full results are available for only three of them. The results may only apply to people with this very specific type of neurodegenerative disease, not to people with other types of pa...
