P 84. High-frequency neuronavigated cerebellar repetitive Transcranial Magnetic stimulation (rTMS) increases human pharyngeal motor cortex excitability
Conclusions: Our data show for the first time that high-frequency (10Hz) cerebellar stimulation can produce long-lasting increases in human pharyngeal motor cortex excitability, with larger and longer-lasting effects of the intervention primarily seen in the contralateral projection. Hence 10Hz cerebellar rTMS may play a therapeutic role in the treatment of dysphagia after hemispheric stroke.

A cloudy story: Guillain–Barré syndrome concealed by a spontaneous intracerebral haemorrhage
We present a case of Guillain–Barré syndrome (GBS), probably associated with influenza vaccine, occurring in a patient some days after a spontaneous haemorrhagic stroke. A 79-year-old woman was admitted to the neurosurgery department after a sudden severe headache, dizziness, and progressive generalised weakness. She had a history of hypertension and paroxysmal atrial fibrillation in dicumarolic therapy. Head CT scan showed a haemorrhagic stroke in left cerebellum, with compression on the fourth ventricle.
