Long-Term Outcome of Motor Functional Neurological Disorder After Rehabilitation.

Background And Purpose: Functional neurological disorder (FND) is defined as the presence of neurological symptoms that are inconsistent with a neurological disease. We performed a single-center retrospective study aimed at determining the long-term outcome of FND patients receiving inpatient rehabilitation and the predictors of a good outcome.

Methods: A multidisciplinary graded exercise program was provided with one or two daily physiotherapy and occupational therapy sessions on 5 days each week, as well as weekly psychological support.

Panic Attack, Severe Hypophosphatemia and Rhabdomyolysis in the Setting of a Motor Functional Neurological Disorder.

(1) Background: panic attack is often regarded as a benign disorder with variable physical and psychological symptoms. (2) Case Presentation: We here report the case of a 22-year-old patient known for an episode of motor functional neurological disorder a year earlier who presented a panic attack with hyperventilation causing severe hypophosphatemia and rhabdomyolysis, as well as mild tetraparesis. Electrolyte disturbances quickly resolved after phosphate substitution and rehydration.

Syndrome of the trephined: clinical spectrum, risk factors, and impact of cranioplasty on neurologic recovery in a prospective cohort.

Syndrome of the trephined (SoT) is an underrecognized complication after decompressive craniectomy. We aimed to investigate SoT incidence, clinical spectrum, risk factors, and the impact of the cranioplasty on neurologic recovery. Patients undergoing a large craniectomy (> 80 cm) and cranioplasty were prospectively evaluated using modified Rankin score (mRS), cognitive (attention/processing speed, executive function, language, visuospatial), motor (Motricity Index, Jamar dynamometer, postural score, gait assessment), and radiologic evaluation within four days before and after a cranioplasty.
