Paroxysmal sympathetic hyperactivity in neurological critical care
Conclusion: PSH is an unusual complication in neurocritical care. It prolonged the hospitalization and hampers recovery. The other life-threatening conditions that mimic PSH should be excluded. The association with JE and tuberculous meningitis was not previously described in literature.

Microvascular decompression for elderly patients with trigeminal neuralgia
Publication date: Available online 2 March 2016 Source:Journal of Clinical Neuroscience Author(s): Kevin Phan, Prashanth J. Rao, Mark Dexter Microvascular decompression (MVD) has been demonstrated to be an excellent surgical treatment approach in younger patients with trigeminal neuralgia (TN). However, it is not clear whether there are additional morbidity and mortality risks for MVD in the elderly population. We performed a systematic literature review using six electronic databases for studies that compared outcomes for MVD for TN in elderly (cut-off ⩾60, 65, 70years) versus younger populations. Outcomes examined...

Lumbar drain trial outcomes of normal pressure hydrocephalus: a single-center experience of 254 patients.
CONCLUSIONSThe LD trial is generally safe and well tolerated. The best predictors of passing the LD trial include a negative history of stroke and having disproportionate subarachnoid spaces. PMID: 30611143 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Relative frequencies of neurological disorders in Northwestern Nigeria: A retrospective study
Conclusion: The outcome of this study revealed that stroke and spinal cord compression syndromes were the most common neurological disorders in our center. It also showed that individuals within their productive age (50–54 years) were more affected. Given the present state of constrained resources, coordinated efforts at the institutional, state, and federal government levels are essential to encourage prioritization, funding, and implementation of effective health-care delivery system.

What Causes Facial Nerve Palsy?
Discussion Facial nerve palsy has been known for centuries, but in 1821 unilateral facial nerve paralysis was described by Sir Charles Bell. Bell’s palsy (BP) is a unilateral, acute facial paralysis that is clinically diagnosed after other etiologies have been excluded by appropriate history, physical examination and/or laboratory testing or imaging. Symptoms include abnormal movement of facial nerve. It can be associated with changes in facial sensation, hearing, taste or excessive tearing. The right and left sides are equally affected but bilateral BP is rare (0.3%). Paralysis can be complete or incomplete at prese...

Predisposing and precipitating factors for delirium in neurology: a prospective cohort study of 1487 patients
ConclusionsDelirium is common in elder neurological patients and associated with worse outcome. Primary cerebral conditions most frequently precipitate delirium in neurology. Neurologists are advised to monitor symptoms of delirium in the presence of risk factors to enable both timely diagnostic work-up and management of delirium.

Trends in Age of Cochlear Implant Recipients, and the Impact on Perioperative Complication Rates
Objective: The aim of the study is to examine trends in the age of patients receiving cochlear implants and to determine the effect of age on the rate of perioperative complications. Study Design: Retrospective analysis of deidentified administrative claims data from a US commercial insurance database (Optum). Patients: Individuals undergoing cochlear implantation between 2003 and 2016. Setting: US hospital and outpatient facilities serving commercially insured patients. Intervention: Cochlear implantation. Main Outcome Measures: Age at implantation, incidence of perioperative complications within 30 days ...

Adjunctive dexamethasone in adults with meningococcal meningitis
In the article by Heckenberg et al.,1 the authors conclude that dexamethasone did not similarly improve the unfavorable outcome in meningococcal meningitis as was seen in their previous pneumococcal cohort study.2 The difference in the incidence of meningitis-related stroke between these meningitis populations may explain the difference in the cohorts' Glasgow Outcome Scale results.
