Adult-onset Krabbe disease presenting with progressive myoclonic epilepsy and asymmetric occipital lesions: A case report
We reported the case of an adult-onset KD presenting with progressive myoclonic epilepsy (PME) and cortical lesions mimicking mitochondrial encephalomyopathy, lactic acidosis, and stroke-like episodes (MELAS) syndrome. The whole-exome sequencing (WES) identified a pathogenic homozygous missense mutation of the GALC gene. Parents of the patient were heterozygous for the mutation. The clinical, electrophysiological, and radiological data of the patient were retrospectively analyzed. The patient was a 24-year-old woman presenting with generalized seizures, progressive cognitive decline, psychiatric symptoms, gait ataxia, and ...

Neurological Consequences of Congenital Disorders of Glycosylation
Adv Neurobiol. 2023;29:219-253. doi: 10.1007/978-3-031-12390-0_8.ABSTRACTThe chapter is devoted to neurological aspects of congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDG). At the beginning, the various types of CDG with neurological presentation of symptoms are summarized. Then, the occurrence of various neurological constellation of abnormalities (for example: epilepsy, brain anomalies on neuroimaging, ataxia, stroke-like episodes, autistic features) in different CDG types are discussed followed by data on possible biomarkers and limited treatment options.PMID:36255677 | DOI:10.1007/978-3-031-12390-0_8

Role of Serum Homocysteine and Outcome in Patients With Traumatic Brain Injury
Conclusion The study concluded that patients who had suffered from a TBI had significantly higher serum Hcy levels. Furthermore, the study highlighted that the patients with the worst outcomes had more severe hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy) than those with better outcomes. Moreover, patients with low GOS scores were more likely to have HHcy.PMID:36237797 | PMC:PMC9548089 | DOI:10.7759/cureus.28968

Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Positive Airway Pressure Usage in Populations with Neurological Disease
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is characterized by repetitive episodes of complete or partial upper airway obstruction during sleep, with a worldwide estimate of 936 million sufferers. Treatments of OSA include continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), weight loss, positional therapy, oral appliances, positive upper airway pressure, oro-maxillofacial surgery, hypoglossal nerve stimulation, and bariatric surgery, and others, with CPAP being the most commonly prescribed treatment. In this review, the neurologic conditions of stroke, cognitive decline, epilepsy, and migraines will be discussed as they relate to OSA. Addition...

The effects of self-management education and support on self-efficacy, self-esteem, and quality of life among patients with epilepsy
Epilepsy is a chronic disease and the most prevalent neurologic conSdition after stroke [1]. It is characterized by recurrent seizures, i.e., short periods of involuntary movements of some or all parts of the body, which are sometimes associated with the loss of consciousness and loss of bowel or bladder control [2, 3]. The estimated ratio of patients with epilepsy (PWE) at a specific point in time is 4 –10 per 1000 population, and approximately 75% of PWE live in developing countries [4]. The prevalence of epilepsy is also high in Iran and is reported to be 5% [5].

Responsive neurostimulation for pediatric patients with drug-resistant epilepsy: a case series and review of the literature
CONCLUSIONS: This case series supports current literature suggesting that RNS is a safe and potentially effective surgical intervention for pediatric patients with drug-resistant epilepsy. The authors report comparable rates of serious adverse events to current RNS literature in pediatric and adult populations. Seizure outcomes may continue to improve with follow-up as stimulation strategy is refined and the chronic neuromodulatory effect evolves, as previously described in patients with RNS. Further large-scale, multicenter case series of RNS in pediatric patients with drug-resistant epilepsy are required to determine lon...
