BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Paraneoplastic neurologic syndromes (PNSs) are remote neurologic immune-related effects of tumors. The clinical characteristics of pediatric PNSs remain unclear. We retrospectively examined the clinical characteristics of cases of pediatric PNSs and assessed the performance of the 2021 diagnostic criteria in children. METHODS: Patients hospitalized in the Beijing Children's Hospital between June 2015 and June 2023 and fulfilling the description of definite by 2004 diagnostic criteria of PNSs were included...

INTRODUCTION: Anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAr) antibody encephalitis is an autoimmune disorder characterized by synaptic NMDAr current disruption and receptor hypofunction, often affecting women during pregnancy. Clinical manifestations associated with anti-NMDAr encephalitis can occur both in the mother and fetus. METHODS: We generated a systematic search of the literature to identify epidemiological, clinical, and serological data related to pregnant women with anti-NMDAr encephalitis and their children, analyzing the fetal outcomes...

OBJECTIVE: Moyamoya angiopathy (MA) is a rare cerebrovascular disorder characterized by recurrent ischemic/hemorrhagic strokes due to progressive occlusion of the intracranial carotid arteries. The lack of reliable disease severity biomarkers led us to investigate molecular features of a Caucasian cohort of MA patients. METHODS: The participants consisted of 30 MA patients and 40 controls. We measured cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) levels of angiogenic/inflammatory factors (ELISA)...

INTRODUCTION: Preterm identification of cervical dilation in pregnant women leads to the application of emergency cervical cerclage with an expectation of achieving term delivery. However, this is not always feasible. Short- and long-term neonatal complications post-preterm birth pose a significant challenge. It is crucial to anticipate potential complications and understand the possibilities of postpartum development as they can be encountered. We aimed to evaluate the effect of the degree of cervical dilatation before ultrasound and physical examination-indicated cerclage in singleton pregnancies presenting with premature cervical dilatation with bulging fetal membranes (rescue cerclage) on subsequent neonatal outcomes...

Memory clinic patients are a heterogeneous population representing various aetiologies of pathological aging. It is unknown if divergent spatiotemporal progression patterns of brain atrophy, as previously described in Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients, are prevalent and clinically meaningful in this group of older adults. To uncover distinct atrophy subtypes, we applied the Subtype and Stage Inference (SuStaIn) algorithm to baseline structural MRI data from 813 participants enrolled in the DELCODE cohort (mean ± SD age = 70...

BACKGROUND: Septic cavernous sinus thrombosis (CST) is a rare condition traditionally associated with high morbidity and mortality. More recent case series report more favorable outcomes, including full functional recovery. A comprehensive assessment of the clinical characteristics and prognostic factors of visual and survival outcomes in septic CST is warranted to contemporize current understanding and help guide management. METHODS: A multicentered retrospective cohort study was conducted at 2 tertiary care centers using an electronic medical record search of the term, "thrombosis of cavernous venous sinus" between January 1, 2000, and December 31, 2021...

Smoking has detrimental effects on the cardiovascular system; however, some studies have reported better clinical outcomes after thrombolysis for ischemic stroke in smokers than in nonsmokers, a phenomenon known as the smoking paradox. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the smoking paradox in patients with ischemic stroke receiving reperfusion therapy. Data were collected from a multicenter hospital-based acute stroke registry in Fukuoka, Japan. The 1148 study patients were categorized into current and noncurrent smokers...

Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) disease is a multisystem disorder characterized by bilateral granulomatous panuveitis resulting in serous retinal detachments, disk edema, and a sunset glow fundus development. Furthermore, it is associated with various extraocular findings, such as tinnitus, hearing loss, vertigo, poliosis, and vitiligo (1). VKH is considered to be an autoimmune disease mediated by T-cells targeting melanocyte antigen tyrosinase peptide (2). Moreover, VKH more often occurs in individuals with a genetic predisposition to the disease, including those of Asian and Hispanic heritage (3)...

Dear Editor, Ticks carry many diseases, bacteria, and viruses and represent a very important healthcare issue both in Croatia and globally. Although most ticks are not infected with pathogens dangerous to humans, some ticks can transmit infectious diseases with significant morbidity and mortality. This is caused by the increasing incidence of many tick-borne diseases over a growing geographical area. Many factors influence which species of ticks are present in a given geographical area, as well as the density of their population and the risk of human exposure to infected ticks...

BACKGROUND: No standardized criteria for surgical resection of parasagittal sinus meningiomas (PSM) have been established, and different surgical strategies have been proposed. The aim of the present study was to investigate the efficacy and safety of a "radical" surgical strategy in the treatment of PSM. METHODS: The clinical histories, radiological findings, pathologic features, and surgical records of 53 patients with PSM admitted by the same surgical team using the "radical" surgical strategy were retrospectively analyzed between 2018 and 2023...

BACKGROUND: There is growing evidence that severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) or COVID-19 infection is associated with the development of immune mediated neuropathies like chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP), but the impact of SARS-CoV-2 vaccination and COVID-19 infection on genetic disorders such as Charcot-MarieTooth (CMT) remains unclear. CASE PRESENTATION: A 42-year-old male with occulted CMT neuropathy type lA (CMT1A) who developed limb numbness and weakness after the second SARS-CoV-2-vaccination was confirmed by identifying characteristic repeats in the p11...

INTRODUCTION: Acute thoracolumbar intervertebral disc herniation (IVDH) constitutes an emergency because associated neurological clinical signs can be progressive, with prognosis dependent on preoperative presence of deep pain perception. Pre-anesthetic thoracic radiographs are routinely performed to evaluate for potential pathology that could result in increased risk or change in overall prognosis. However, due to the emergent nature of this disease, the weight of thoracic radiographic findings on treatment plans for these dogs in unknown...

Cerebral palsy (CP) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects motor function and is often accompanied by secondary musculoskeletal issues. Severe scoliosis, a lateral curvature of the spine over 40 degrees, poses a significant challenge for individuals with CP, impacting their mobility and overall well-being. While the association between scoliosis and gastrointestinal complications is acknowledged, the occurrence of colonic volvulus with necrosis in the context of CP and severe scoliosis is rare and complex...

INTRODUCTION: Vascular diseases, such as stroke and heart failure (HF), are associated with cognitive decline. Vascular cognitive impairment (CI) is commonly found in patients who had a stroke and with HF, ranging from mild CI to dementia. Early detection of CI is crucial for effective management and rehabilitation. This study aimed to develop the VasCog Screen test, a screening tool to detect CI in patients who had a stroke and with HF. METHOD: 427 patients who had a stroke and with HF were assessed using cognitive measures including Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) and a formal neuropsychological battery...
