neurological manifestation may complicate takayasu arteritis (ta). a 23-year-old girl with sudden onset of vision loss was admitted to hospital. her brain mri showed abnormal t2-signal hyperintensity and visual evoked potential revealed prolonged p100 latency. consequently, optic neuritis was diagnosed. a review on history of dizziness, falling, and weak pulses of upper extremities led to more ...

the hereditary ataxias comprise a wide spectrum of heterogeneous disorders that share three features: ataxia, involvement of cerebellum or its connections, and heritability. in many hereditary ataxias, the underlying gene mutations have been identified. knowledge of the causative mutations allows a rational classification of hereditary ataxias as autosomal recessive, autosomal dominant or mater...

Neurologic complications are a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in the COVID-19 pandemic. Besides respiratory disease, neurological manifestations such as headache, dizziness, hyposmia, hypogeusia, acute cerebrovascular encephalopathy, encephalitis common. These may result from various mechanisms; virus-induced hyperinflammation hypercoagulable states, direct viral effect on central...

Background Juvenile Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease with variable clinical features. Neurologic and psychiatric symptoms are reported to occur in 10 to 80 percent of patients either prior to the diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus, or during the course of their illness. The neuropsychiatric manifestations of SLE are varied, and may be classified as primary neur...

Neurologic deficits following cardiac surgery persist as common complications with a significant impact to the patient’s quality of life [1,2]. Clinical manifestations of these deficits are variable, ranging from frank stroke as worst case scenario to the more subtle neurocognitive deficits [2,3]. Despite extensive research in the field, the mechanisms leading to neurologic dysfunctions are not...

Neurocutaneous syndromes are a diverse group of neurologic disorders with concurrent skin manifestations. Most neurocutaneous syndromes have a genetic basis and are believed to arise from a defect in the differentiation of the primitive ectoderm. In this regard, the skin can be a window into the central nervous system and can aid in the diagnosis of neurologic disease in children. The cutaneous...

INTRODUCTION Sarcoidosis is a multisystemic inflammatory disease with myriad clinical manifestations. Neurologic involvement in sarcoidosis is uncommon. Peripheral neuropathic presentations include mononeuropathy, mononeuritis multiplex, and generalized sensory, motor, autonomic, and sensorimotor polyneuropathies. CASE PRESENTATION We report a case of carpal tunnel syndrome caused by sarcoido...

CD is an autoimmune-mediated disorder of the gastrointestinal tract. Initial symptom presentation is variable and can include neurologic manifestations that may comprise ataxia, neuropathy, dizziness, epilepsy, and cortical calcifications rather than gastrointestinal-hindering diagnosis and management. We present a case of a young man with progressive neurologic symptoms and brain MR imaging fi...

A task force to develop guidelines for diagnostic evaluation and treatment of sleep disorders in degenerative neurologic disorders and stroke was initiated by the European Federation of Neurological Societies (EFNS). The aims were to provide evidence-based recommendations in the management of sleep disorders associated with degenerative neurologic disorders and stroke. Neurological patients oft...
