Marchiafava-Bignami disease with typical imaging findings: A case report.

Marchiafava-Bignami disease is a rare neurological condition characterized by necrosis and demyelination of the corpus callosum, typically associated with chronic alcoholism and/or malnutrition. The clinical manifestations of Marchiafava-Bignami disease are diverse and often nonspecific. Diagnosis of Marchiafava-Bignami disease relies on magnetic resonance imaging findings, which reveal significant and symmetrical involvement of the corpus callosum.

Stiff Person Syndrome With Positive Anti-glutamic Acid Decarboxylase (GAD) Autoantibodies.

Stiff person syndrome (SPS) is a progressive autoimmune disorder characterized by muscle rigidity, frequent falls, and spasms, affecting primarily women. Recent advances have linked SPS to specific antibodies, such as anti-glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD)-65, but effective treatments remain elusive. We report the case of a 53-year-old female who developed chronic lower back pain, tingling paresthesias, and progressive rigidity in the lower limbs.

Neurodegeneration With Brain Iron Accumulation in a Case of Adult Aceruloplasminemia.

Aceruloplasminemia (ACP) is a rare genetic disorder that manifests in adulthood due to mutations in the CP (ceruloplasmin) gene, causing iron accumulation and neurodegeneration. Clinically, ACP presents with a range of symptoms, including mild microcytic anemia, diabetes mellitus, liver disease, retinopathy, progressive neurological symptoms such as cerebellar ataxia, involuntary movements, parkinsonism, mood and behavior disorders, and cognitive impairment. We present the case of a 53-year-old female with a history of first-degree consanguinity and a sister with anemia.

Deep Brain Stimulation in Moroccan Patients With Parkinson's Disease: The Experience of Neurology Department of Rabat.

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) is known as a therapy of choice of advanced Parkinson's disease. The present study aimed to assess the beneficial and side effects of STN DBS in Moroccan Parkinsonian patients. Thirty five patients underwent bilateral STN DBS from 2008 to 2016 in the Rabat University Hospital.

Bilateral brachial plexus injury following acute carbon monoxide poisoning.

Background: Carbon monoxide (CO) intoxication is a leading cause of severe neuropsychological impairments. Peripheral nerve injury has rarely been reported. It consists usually in a demyelinating polyneuropathy or mononeuropathy affecting mainly the lower limbs.

[Sneddon's syndrome: 15 cases with cerebral angiography].

Sneddon's syndrome is a rare disease defined by the presence of ischemic cerebrovascular events associated with livedo reticularis. We report a retrospective study of fifteen cases, thirteen women and two men, mean age of 37.93+/-9.

[Neuropsychological and magnetic resonance imaging findings in five patients after carbon monoxide poisoning].

Introduction: Carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning has been shown to result in cognitive impairments. These disorders have rarely been reported. The present study aimed to evaluate these disturbances in five patients with a neuroanatomical study.

[Neuropsychological disorders after bithalamic infarct caused by deep venous thrombosis].

We report a case of deep cerebral venous thrombosis with bithalamic infarction that led to neuropsychological disorders including left side visuospatial neglect, aphasia and amnesia, as well as frontal and intellectual disorders. After a six month course, the patient showed only slight intellectual deficit and mild anterograde amnesia. Deep cerebral venous thrombosis is uncommon and prognosis is poor.

[Akinetic mutism and progressive supranuclear palsy-like syndrome after the shunt of an obstructive hydrocephalus. Successful treatment with bromocriptine: 2 cases].

Two cases of obstructive hydrocephalus who suffered multiple shunt failures and shunt revisions are presented. The patients developed after the neurochirurgical treatment a clinical syndrome of akinetic mutism followed by a Progressive Supranuclear Palsy-like (PSP) syndrome. The akinetic mutism and the PSP-like syndrome were remarkably improved with bromocriptine.
