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...

Disseminated cutaneous herpes zoster and multiple cerebral infarcts in an adult with diabetes mellitus
We present the case of a patient with a medical history of type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) who experienced disseminated cutaneous VZV infection followed by multiple cerebral infarcts associated with VZV vasculopathy. Brain magnetic resonance imaging revealed multiple hyperintense lesions over the bilateral deep white matter and basal ganglia. A skin biopsy revealed small-vessel leukocytoclastic vasculitis with neutrophilic, lymphocytic, and eosinophilic infiltration. This case report describes the rare finding of cutaneous leukocytoclastic vasculitis in VZV infection and highlights that VZV infection is an uncommon but criti...

Mediation effect of herpes zoster derived by statin use on cardiovascular disease risk.
Conclusions: This study showed that statin use reduced CVD by 10%, but the protective effect of statin use against CVD was mitigated by approximately 10% through the development of HZ caused by statin use. PMID: 32550721 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Acute aortic dissection with right-sided chest and back pain accompanied by left-sided limb dyskinesia
Kardiologiia. 2022 Jun 30;62(6):74-76. doi: 10.18087/cardio.2022.6.n1818.ABSTRACTWe retrospectively studied the diagnosis and treatment of a case of AAD misdiagnosed as stroke since atypical symptoms as the first manifestation, and discussed the clinical features and manifestations, diagnosis, and differential diagnosis of the case in the context of relevant domestic and international literature. The patient, a 49‑year-old male with herpes zoster for more than 1 month, presented with sudden onset of right-sided chest and back pain, accompanied by numbness and weakness of the left limb, and was tentatively diagnosed with ...

Periodic electroencephalographic discharges and epileptic spasms involve cortico-striatal-thalamic loops on Arterial Spin Labeling Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Brain Commun. 2022 Oct 6;4(5):fcac250. doi: 10.1093/braincomms/fcac250. eCollection 2022.ABSTRACTPeriodic discharges are a rare peculiar electroencephalogram pattern, occasionally associated with motor or other clinical manifestations, usually observed in critically ill patients. Their underlying pathophysiology remains poorly understood. Epileptic spasms in clusters and periodic discharges with motor manifestations share similar electroencephalogram pattern and some aetiologies of unfavourable prognosis such as subacute sclerosing panencephalitis or herpes encephalitis. Arterial spin labelling magnetic resonance imaging i...

Varicella Zoster Virus Vasculopathy; An HIV adult presenting with multiple strokes
IDCases. 2022 Nov 5;30:e01641. doi: 10.1016/j.idcr.2022.e01641. eCollection 2022.ABSTRACTVZV vasculopathy has been associated with granulomatous vasculitis where there is vessel wall damage and transmural inflammation. VZV vasculopathy has been previously called granulomatous angiitis, VZV vasculitis or post-varicella arteriopathy. Intracerebral VZV vasculopathy can occur in children and adults, either after primary infection or after viral reactivation. Where-as varicella primary infection is a common cause of stroke in children, in adults there is an increased risk of stroke after herpes zoster. Here we present a 38-year...

Herpes zoster and long-term vascular risk: a retrospective cohort study
Sci Rep. 2023 Feb 9;13(1):2364. doi: 10.1038/s41598-023-29667-w.ABSTRACTHerpes zoster (HZ) represents a serious health problem in the general population due to its abundance and complications. Stroke and acute myocardial infarction are well-documented short-term complications of HZ, primarily due to vasculopathy in the cerebral and coronary arteries. However, no major study to date has specifically demonstrated that HZ is a long-term risk factor for all Major Adverse Cardiac and Cerebrovascular Events (MACCE). A retrospective cohort study was conducted analyzing the association between HZ and MACCE. We compared HZ patients...

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.

What Causes Ataxia?
Discussion Coordination and balance problems are caused by various problems affecting the central and peripheral nervous system. Normal development of a child or weakness of a child are commonly mistaken for true ataxia. Ataxia specifically refers to “…impairment of the coordination of movement without loss of muscle strength.” If it is purely due to abnormalities of the cerebellum then there should be no changes in mental status, sensation or weakness. Sometimes it is difficult to determine if there are abnormalities in other areas. For example, Guillian-Barre often presents with difficulty or clumsy wal...
