Symptomatic Cavum Septum Pellucidum Cyst: A Rare Presentation.

A cavum septum pellucidum is a cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) filled cavity situated between the lateral ventricles and is considered as a normal anatomic variant sporadically seen on neuroimaging. While a cavum septum pellucidum is a relatively uncommon incidental neuroimaging finding, symptomatic cysts of the cavum septum pellucidum are very rare, with only a few cases reported in the literature so far. They are defined as fluid-filled structures with lateral bowing of the walls and membranes separated by at least 10 mm or more.

A Rare Case of Dengue Fever Presenting With Acute Disseminated Encephalomyelitis.

Dengue fever is a viral infection transmitted by mosquitoes with a clinical spectrum that ranges from asymptomatic infection to dengue shock syndrome. Neurologic manifestations are rare. We report a case of dengue fever presented with acute disseminated encephalomyelitis.

Postpartum Ischemic Stroke: A Rare Case.

The risk of stroke is increased during pregnancy and the postpartum period. It can lead to significant maternal morbidity and mortality. The physiologically mediated hemodynamic changes in circulation and vascular tissue, and the increased coagulability account for this increased risk of stroke.

Type II Myocardial Infarction: Predisposing Factors, Precipitating Elements, and Outcomes.

Introduction Myocardial infarction (MI) is a subset of the spectrum of the disease known as acute coronary syndrome (ACS), which comprises three distinct entities including unstable angina (UA) and MI with or without ST-segment elevation. However, many clinicians are unaware that MI itself is classified into five types, the most common being type I, followed by type II. Type II MI occurs due to coronary insufficiency not related to acute plaque change in the coronary vasculature.

Therapeutic Implications of Altered Energy Metabolism in Migraine: A State-of-the-Art Review.

Currently, the management strategies aimed at the resolution of migraine are pharmacological. Most of these therapies are known to alter the serotonin balance of the brain. Furthermore, therapies blocking the calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) have also proven to be quite effective in their treatments.
