Viral diseases of the nervous system-Selected new and old viruses
Nervenarzt. 2023 Mar 21. doi: 10.1007/s00115-023-01452-0. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTViral diseases of the nervous system are ancient and poliomyelitis was described in Egypt as early as 2000 BC. They can cause a wide range of neurological symptoms, such as meningitis, encephalitis, meningoencephalitis, Guillain-Barré-like syndrome and stroke, often leaving mild to severe residuals. Depending on the pathogen, the symptoms appear quickly within hours, or lead to increasing chronic symptoms within 1 week or months. The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which was newly identified in January 202...

Before blaming SARS-CoV-2 for cerebrovascular disease in children, all differentials need to be ruled out
We read with interest the article by Spanelova et al. about four pediatric patients with cerebrovascular complications after a putative SARS-CoV-2 infection [1]. Patient-1 was diagnosed with subdural hematoma (SDH) and meningitis, patient-2 with cerebral vasculitis, patient-3 with lacunar stroke, and patient-4 with venous sinus thrombosis (VST) with haemorrhage [1]. It was concluded that SARS-CoV-2 infections in children can be complicated by cerebro-vascular disease [1]. The study is promising but raises concerns that should be discussed.

Pediatric Moyamoya Syndrome Secondary to Tuberculous Meningitis: A Case Report
We report the case of a female patient who initially presented at 6 years of age with TBM and developed moyamoya syndrome requiring revascularization surgery. Results She was found to have basilar meningeal enhancement and right basal ganglia infarcts. She was treated with 12 months of antituberculosis therapy and 12 months of enoxaparin and maintained on daily aspirin indefinitely. However, she developed recurrent headaches and transient ischemic attacks and was found to have progressive bilateral moyamoya arteriopathy. At age 11 years, she underwent bilateral pial synangiosis for the treatment of her moyamoya syndrome. ...

COVID-19 Continuous-EEG Case Series: A Descriptive Study
Conclusions: In this observational case series of 16 patients with COVID-19 who were monitored with continuous video-EEG, most patients experienced a nonspecific encephalopathy. Clinical seizures and electrographic status epilepticus were the second most commonly observed neurological problem.

Streptococcus Agalactiae Meningitis Presented with Cerebral Infarction in Adult Patient & #8211; Clinical Case and Review
Conclusions: CI is a rare adverse effect of neuro infections leading to an even worse clinical outcome. Early recognition of the infection and appropriate antimicrobial therapy are the crucial moments of successful management of GBS disease.

Intracranial rheumatoid nodule causing recurrent transient neurological deficits
Pract Neurol. 2022 Oct 5:pn-2022-003489. doi: 10.1136/pn-2022-003489. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTA 67-year-old man with rheumatoid arthritis developed recurrent acute onset of stereotyped focal neurological abnormalities. Cerebral imaging showed a mass lesion in the left parieto-occipital lobe. Imaging did not show the time evolution expected in stroke and so he underwent an extensive workup, which was inconclusive. Brain biopsy identified a rheumatoid nodule causing an extensive inflammatory reaction that mimicked a mass. Following treatment with intravenous corticosteroids and rituximab infusions, his clinical conditi...

Bilateral ballism as limb-shaking transient ischemic attacks treated with unilateral carotid artery stent placement
A man in his 80s with no medical history and a heavy smoking habit experienced a sudden involuntary movement of the bilateral limbs, trunk, and tongue. He had mild dysarthria, and could not eat (Video 1). Symptoms lasted for several hours and days, with frequent onset during the day. No consciousness impairments, paralysis, or sensory disturbances were observed. Physical examination and laboratory data did not indicate meningitis, encephalitis, post-infectious causes, or autoimmune disorders.The electroencephalogram showed no abnormalities.

Aseptic meningitis in Fabry disease due to a novel GLA variant: an expanded phenotype?
ConclusionWe described aseptic meningitis in a family with a novelGLA variant. Meningitis might be a common phenomenon in FD and not a particularity of this variant. Understanding the mechanisms underlying meningitis and its association with cerebrovascular events may lead to a new paradigm of treatment for stroke in these patients. Further prospective studies with CSF collection in patients with FD and recurrent headache could help to elucidate this question.

Cerebrospinal Fluid Flow Analysis in Tuberculous Meningitis Using Phase Contrast Technique on 3 Tesla MRI: A New Paradigm and Our Initial Experience
Conclusion: PC-MRI is a sensitive technique to analyze altered CSF flow dynamics in tuberculous meningitis patients. This is a useful adjunct in imaging these patients to extract both the qualitative and quantitative information about CSF flow for comprehensive evaluation.
