Neurosarcoidosis poses a diagnostic and management challenge due to its rarity, phenotypic variability, lack of randomized controlled studies guide treatment selection. Recommendations for based on expert opinion are useful in clinical practice provide framework designing prospective studies. In this Delphi survey study, specialists with experience managing patients neurosarcoidosis were invited anonymously complete 2 surveys about key elements evaluation, diagnosis, treatment, monitoring,...
Differentiating epileptic seizures (ES) and psychogenic nonepileptic (PNES) is commonly based on electroencephalogram concurrent video recordings (vEEG). Here, we demonstrate that these two types of can be discriminated signals related to autonomic nervous system activity recorded via wearable sensors. We used Empatica E4 Wristband sensors worn both arms in vEEG confirmed seizures, machine learning methods train classifiers, specifically, extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost). Classification...
Cerebrovascular manifestations in neurosarcoidosis (NS) were previously considered rare but are being increasingly recognized. We report our preliminary experience patients with NS who underwent high-resolution vessel wall imaging (VWI).A total of 13 consecutive VWI. Images analyzed by 2 neuroradiologists consensus. The assessment included segment-wise evaluation larger- and medium-sized vessels (internal carotid artery, M1-M3 middle cerebral artery; A1-A3 anterior V4 segments vertebral...
An 88-year-old man presented with a 1-month history of altered mental status and seizures. His electrographic imaging findings were suggestive herpes simplex encephalitis (HSE), for which he was empirically treated acyclovir. He underwent two lumbar punctures 3 days apart; both cerebrospinal fluid analyses tested negative virus (HSV) by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). These results his continued deterioration after 9 acyclovir therapy prompted treatment steroids possible autoimmune...
This article provides an overview of the imaging modalities used in evaluation central nervous system (CNS) autoimmune, paraneoplastic, and neuro-rheumatologic disorders. An approach is outlined for interpreting findings this context, synthesizing a differential diagnosis based on certain patterns, choosing further specific diseases.The rapid discovery new neuronal glial autoantibodies has revolutionized autoimmune neurology field elucidated patterns characteristic antibody-associated...
We aim to review Myelin Oligodendrocyte Glycoprotein Antibody-Associated Disease (MOGAD) cases at our institution, complement existing published data for future changes disease guidelines.
Objective: Behcet’s syndrome (BS) is a chronic, relapsing multisystemic inflammatory perivasculitis and can affect any tissue, including the nervous system. Neuro-Behcet’s (NBS) most commonly affects CNS parenchyma presents with subacute brainstem that includes cranial neuropathies. Here we describe rare case of palato-pharyngo-laryngeal myoclonus as manifestation NBS discuss it from laryngology perspective. Methods: Case report at tertiary care center. Informed consent was obtained patient....
<h3>Objective</h3> Describe a case of probable Neuroinvasive West Nile Virus (WNV) disease presenting as opsoclonus-myoclonus-ataxia syndrome (OMS). <h3>Background</h3> Opsoclonus-myoclonus-ataxia is well described condition which thought to be often paraneoplastic or autoimmune etiology in adults. Specific pathogenic antibodies have yet identified most cases. It can also seen association with CNS infections, although it unclear if the pathophysiology aligns more an infectious...
