New-onset refractory status epilepticus (NORSE) is a rare but challenging condition occurring in previously healthy patient, often with no identifiable cause. We describe the electro-clinical features and outcomes group of patients NORSE who all demonstrated typical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) sign characterized by bilateral lesions claustrum. The includes 31 (12 personal 19 published cases; 17 females; mean age 25 years). Fever preceded (SE) 28 patients, 6 days. SE was...
Summary Objective PCDH 19‐related epilepsy is an epileptic syndrome with infantile onset, characterized by clustered and fever‐induced seizures, often associated intellectual disability ( ID ) autistic features. The aim of this study was to analyze a large cohort patients better define the phenotype, genotype‐phenotype correlations, related outcome‐predicting factors. Methods We retrospectively collected genetic, clinical, electroencephalogram EEG data 61 followed at 15 centers. All...
Obesity is associated with lower serum vitamin D (25(OH)D) levels through several mechanisms. The aim of the study was to examine possibility a negative association between fat mass and 25(OH)D in cohort otherwise healthy overweight obese subjects, independently age, sex, blood pressure anthropometric metabolic parameters.147 subjects (106 women 41 men), aged 18 69 years, were enrolled into study. All them did not show any clinically evident or chronic diseases (i.e. hypertension, diabetes...
Neurological disorders as a risk factor for Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) are not well characterized. The aim of the study was to evaluate TTS-associated neurological phenotypes and outcome.
ABSTRACT The origin of faciobrachial dystonic seizures in anti‐LGI1 encephalitis is controversial due to a lack neurophysiological characterization. We report 68‐year‐old man with subacute anterograde memory loss and involuntary movements. Video‐polygraphic recordings disclosed repetitive events characterized by sudden, short contraction the upper limbs ipsilateral hemiface. A focal contralateral EEG slow wave from frontal or central electrodes was accompanied increased muscle activity,...
In polluted areas, a major issue is the correct assessment of exposure general population to industrial pollutants. The objectives were: evaluate heavy metals emitted from area Taranto; correlate biological monitoring data with environmental data, in order clarify impact pollution terms internal dose. A cross sectional study has been designed measure levels urinary arsenic, lead, cadmium, chromium, manganese 300 inhabitants Taranto, Statte and Laterza. Adult subjects have selected by...
Wernicke's encephalopathy (WE) is an unexpected common neurological disorder caused by thiamine deficiency often due to alcohol abuse, but WE-not related also frequent. A prolonged reduction of food intake can cause WE. This condition arise in depression disorders, especially the early stages these psychiatric syndromes. WE characterized triad signs: ataxia, ocular dysfunctions and confusional state. However, they rarely appear together this makes diagnosis particularly difficult, when there...
Among alcohols, methanol intoxication is the most frequently associated with cerebral toxicity, causing retinal damage and putaminal necrosis. This consequence believed to be due transformation of into formic acid. We describe case a patient who presented acute impairment consciousness tetraparesis after she had been drinking several bottles topical antiseptic solution (Lysoform Medical) containing 2-bromo-2-nitro-1,3-propandiol (bronopol) among excipients, in order lose weight during...
