Patients with anti-N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptor encephalitis (ANMDARE) show a wide range of behavioral abnormalities and are often mistaken for primary psychiatric presentations. We aimed to determine the hallmarks ANMDARE use systematic neuropsychiatric cognitive assessments.A prospective study was conducted, 160 patients admitted National Institute Neurology Neurosurgery Mexico, who fulfilled criteria possible autoimmune and/or red flags along time window seven years.

Information on Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) as an adverse event following immunization (AEFI) against SARS-CoV-2 remains scarce. We aimed to report GBS incidence AEFI among adult (≥18 years) recipients of 81,842,426 doses seven anti-SARS-CoV-2 vaccines between December 24, 2020, and October 29, 2021, in Mexico.Cases were retrospectively collected through passive epidemiological surveillance. The overall observed was calculated according the total number administered doses. Vaccines analyzed...

Abstract Introduction Epilepsy affects 65 million people worldwide, with a prevalence estimate in Mexico between 1 and 2% of the population. In 2006, estimated cost treatment for drug-resistant epilepsy was approximately USD 2646 per patient, increased expenses noted instances necessitating hospitalization. Methods We administered an internet survey disseminated through social networks, aimed at individuals (PWE) their caretakers residing Mexico. examined both direct indirect costs,...

The COVID-19 pandemic led to the development and emergency approval of an array effective vaccines against SARS-CoV-2. Given relatively small number patients included in vaccine trials, postapproval epidemiological surveillance is crucial detect infrequent vaccine-related adverse events. We conducted a nationwide retrospective descriptive study evaluating incidence seizures among recipients SARS-CoV-2 Mexico from December 24, 2020 (date administration first doses nationwide) October 29,...

Ictal bradycardia (IB) and ictal asystole (IA) are uncommonly recognized phenomena that increase morbidity in patients with epilepsy by causing syncope seizure-related falls. These arrhythmias also suspected to be involved the pathophysiology of sudden unexpected death (SUDEP). We report a case 57-year-old male left temporal lobe who experienced both IB IA. This patient was initially managed pacemaker implantation, prior undergoing lobectomy. Following surgery, had no ongoing or IA on his...

​Background: The development of mRNA vaccines to prevent SARS-CoV-2 has been remarkably successful, with highly effective available less than one year after confirming the first case. Due global burden COVID-19 on health systems, emergency approval was attained clinical trials relatively small sample sizes and short follow-up periods. Limited information exists about incidence adverse events following immunisation (AEFI), particularly neurologic ones. Here, we describe AEFI reported by...

Drug-resistant epilepsy, a chronic condition with long-term consequences can be treated surgery. The efficacy and safety of surgery for temporal lobe epilepsy have been established through large number retrospective prospective cohort studies two randomized controlled clinical trials. Despite the excellent outcomes reported after surgery, literature suggests that this procedure is an underutilized treatment. While evidence lacking as to why underused, cited reasons include: failure primary...

Epileptic seizures are one of the main reasons for neurological visits in an emergency department. Convulsions represent a traumatic event patient and family, with significant medical social consequences. Due to their prevalence impact, initial management is vital importance. Although following first epileptic seizure, early recurrence diminishes after establishing treatment antiepileptic drugs, forecast developing epilepsy long-term outcomes not altered by any intervention. Detailed...

Summary Background Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) as an adverse event following immunization (AEFI) against SARS-CoV-2 has been linked to a few (ChAdOx1 nCov-19 and Ad26.COV2-S), but not all vaccines, including mRNA-based ones. Epidemiological information on GBS among recipients of other SARS-CoV-2-directed vaccines Latinx/Hispanic is scarce. Methods We report incidence per million administered doses from nationwide Mexican retrospective registry adult (≥18 years) 81,842,426 seven immunized...
