Isolated Facial Diplegia: A Rare Presentation of Guillain-Barré Syndrome.

Guillain-Barré syndrome is an autoimmune condition typically characterized by progressive areflexic ascending motor deficit and paresthesia. However, atypical presentations, such as isolated facial diplegia, are rare and diagnostically challenging. We describe a unique case of Guillain-Barré syndrome in a 46-year-old male patient, presenting as isolated bilateral facial paralysis without preceding medical history.

[Neuromeningeal tuberculosis: clinical, paraclinical, therapeutic and evolutionary profile of 21 patients].

The purpose of this study was to investigate the epidemiological, clinical, paraclinical, therapeutic and evolutionary profile of patients with neuromeningeal tuberculosis. We conducted a retrospective study of 21 patients with neuromeningeal tuberculosis hospitalized in the Neurological Department between January 2002 and December 2016. Women were slightly more represented than men (SR=0.

[Neurological disorders secondary to vitamin B12 deficiency: about 29 cases].

Neurological disorders secondary to vitamin B12 deficiency are polymorphic and diverse. There have been very few studies conducted in the Moroccan as well as in the African population. This study aims to describe the clinical, paraclinical, evolutionary features of neurological manifestations in patients with vitamin B12 deficiency within the Department of Neurology at the Moulay Ismail Military Hospital, Meknes over a period of 18 years (1999-2017).

An unusual presentation of neurosarcoidosis with progressive hearing loss.

Sarcoidosis is a granulomatous disease of unknown etiology that can involve several organ system. Neurological manifestations are not common and mostly include cranial neuropathies. However, auricular disorders are rare and exceptionally inaugural.

[Rickettsiosis associated with cerebral infarction: a new case study].

Mediterranean spotted fever (MSF) is a rickettsiosis of the spotted fever group caused by rickettsia conorii. This zoonosis is benign but it can be complicated by severe neurological impairment (hence its severity). We report the case of a 49-year old patient hospitalized in the Department of Dermatology for rickettsiosis, who suffered from right massive hemiplegia of brutal onset.

[Multiple meningeal and cerebral involvement revealing multifocal tuberculosis in an immunocompetent patient].

Tuberculosis is a public health problem in Morocco. Central nervous system involvement is nevertheless rare, occurring in the context of multifocal or miliary tuberculosis. However, it may be a mode of revelation even in an immunocompetent subject.

Cerebral venous thrombosis revealing an ulcerative colitis.

Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) has been reported as an uncommon and devastating complication of ulcerative colitis (UC), with an annual incidence varying between 0,5 to 6,7%. It is suspected to be a consequence of the hypercoagulable state occurring during disease relapse. We report a case of 22-year-old female patient presenting with CVT revealing an UC.
