An international study of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on characteristics of functional seizures.

Objective: We investigated whether the COVID-19 pandemic has affected the clinical characteristics of patients with functional seizure (FS) (at the time of diagnosis) in a large multicenter international study.

Methods: This was a retrospective study. We investigated all patients with FS, who were admitted at the epilepsy monitoring units at six centers in the world: 1.

Post-infectious rhombencephalitis after coronavirus-19 infection: A case report and literature review.

A wide number of neurological manifestations have been described in association with coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19).

He demonstrated clinical and radiological improvement with high dose corticosteroids, plasma exchange and intravenous immune globulin.

Operative and peri-operative considerations in the management of brain metastasis.

The number of patients who develop metastatic brain lesions is increasing as the diagnosis and treatment of systemic cancers continues to improve, resulting in longer patient survival. The role of surgery in the management of brain metastasis (BM), particularly multiple and recurrent metastases, remains controversial and continues to evolve. However, with appropriate patient selection, outcomes after surgery are typically favorable.

Atypical Intracranial Meningioma with Metastasis to C7 Vertebral Body: A Case Report.
