Benign vs sinister causes of basal cistern subarachnoid hemorrhage

These six cases demonstrate a variety of causes for SAH in the basal cisterns, highlighting the contrasting clinical and imaging features, how to investigate when they are suspected, and significant differences in management.

Neurological manifestations of exercise at altitude

How does brain function alter during exercise under hypoxic conditions, and what effect do these changes have on physical performance, cognition, and motor control?

Multimodality neuromonitoring for TBI

Explore the vast information that can be derived from various neuromonitoring modalities, and learn how to interpret this information for use in real-time clinical decision-making through compelling examples.

Early atypical MRI findings in Neuro-Behçet's disease

In pediatric patients with unexplained neurological symptoms and MRI findings of lateral ventricular lesions or brainstem-thalamus-basal ganglia abnormalities, monitor closely for BD signs.

GLP-1 RAs may reduce dementia risk

Glucose lowering with GLP-1 receptor agonists may reduce the risk for dementia in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Autonomic dysfunction after stroke

Central autonomic dysfunction is common in acute stroke and is associated with cardiovascular complications and increased mortality. But novel diagnostic and therapeutic approaches could help manage this disorder.

Cardiovascular event risk heightened by amaurosis fugax diagnosis

Transient vision loss due to vascular causes puts people at significant risk for having a future stroke, carotid stenosis, or transient ischemic attack.

Framework for decannulation in neurological patients

Decannulation is often complicated by severe dysphagia, reduced cough strength, excessive bronchial secretions, and altered airway anatomy. What diagnostic procedures and therapeutic options are crucial for rehabilitation?

Late-window thrombolysis feasible for mild ischemic stroke

Alteplase treatment 4.5–24 hours after posterior circulation stroke in patients who did not have thrombectomy may improve the chances of functional independence compared with standard medical care.

Triple pathology in uncontrolled epilepsy

Changes in seizure semiology and MRI findings indicated the unusual coexistence of low-grade glioma and hippocampal sclerosis in a 29-year-old patient with Sturge–Weber syndrome.

Menopause and migraine

How do fluctuations in female sex hormones contribute to migraine attacks during menopause and perimenopause, and how can you best help to manage them?

Target stroke patients for nerinetide neuroprotection identified

Patients with acute ischemic stroke are most likely to benefit from nerinetide if they receive it within 3 hours of stroke onset and are candidates for reperfusion without previous thrombolysis.

Disappearing facial features in Parkinson disease psychosis

As PD progresses, minor perceptual disturbances can evolve into formed hallucinations and delusions. This unique case describes aprosopsia, which is transient perceptual absence of facial features.

Do DMARDs affect cognitive function?

What role do disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs play in cognitive function in patients with rheumatoid arthritis? Some show promise for reducing cognitive decline in older adults, but a personalized approach is still required for best outcomes.

Treating seizures in oncology patients

  • Free for a limited time
  • Epilepsy
  • Review

What’s best practice for managing seizures in patients with primary brain tumors or brain metastases, or as a consequence of cancer therapy?

Can tFUS help disorders of consciousness?

Transcranial focused ultrasound has emerged as a promising non-invasive technique that can modulate deep brain structures, potentially improving consciousness and functional connectivity.

Cryptogenic stroke associated with pulmonary arteriovenous fistula

  • Open Access
  • Stroke
  • Case Study

In this unusual case, OCT revealed multiple mural thrombi in a PAVF as the source of embolic strokes and continuing ischemic attacks, indicating a potential emboligenic mechanism in PAVF.

Laromestrocel stem cell therapy safe for mild AD

The mesenchymal stem cell therapy laromestrocel has met its primary safety endpoint in mild Alzheimer disease, and shown potential efficacy in slowing whole brain and hippocampal volume loss.

Hepatic encephalopathy: risk identification and prophylaxis

Examine prophylactic strategies for hepatic encephalopathy, focusing on established treatments and emerging therapies, plus predictive tools to identify high-risk patients.

How do sensory impairments affect recovery after stroke?

Neural injury can diminish the ability to use somatosensory information to guide skilled movements, significantly impacting daily activities. Explore approaches to improve sensory function.
