Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been associated with a variety of neurologic manifestations, including Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), but few pediatric cases have reported. We would like to present case GBS in association recent COVID-19 infection that presented an isolated clinical facial nerve palsy.

Fifty years ago, the focus on the Val30Met type of the disease, in which neurologic manifestations predominate, led to the widespread notion that hereditary transthyretinrelated amyloidosis (ATTR) was essentially a neurologic disease. It is now clear that ATTR is extremely heterogeneous on both genotypic and phenotypic grounds. The clinical spectrum of the disease ranges from an almost exclusiv...

Patients with preexisting neurologic disease present a unique challenge to the anesthesiologist. The cause of postoperative neurologic deficits is difficult to evaluate, because neural injury may occur as a result of surgical trauma, tourniquet pressure, prolonged labor, improper patient positioning, or anesthetic technique. Progressive neurologic diseases such as multiple sclerosis may coincid...

Blood and CSF of Sardinian patients with MS and neurologic control subjects were tested for MS-associated retrovirus (MSRV). CSF detection in MS was 50% at clinical onset, increasing with temporal disease progression, and 40% in control subjects. In blood, MSRV was detected in all MS patients, in most patients with inflammatory neurologic diseases, and rarely in healthy blood donors. MSRV may r...

The fundamental structures and functions of the nervous systems of animals and humans are conserved in many ways across species. These similarities provide a basis for developing common neurologic examinations for a number of species of animals and also provide a basis for developing risk assessments across species for neurologic end points. The neurologic examination requires no expensive equi...
