Rituximab alone is as effective as associated with steroids on naive patients with generalized myasthenia gravis.

Introduction: Rituximab (RTX) has been proven effective in managing refractory generalized myasthenia gravis (MG), and its use is increasing worldwide. MG stabilization may initially require oral corticosteroid (CS) therapy, but its long-term side effects require the shortest duration of treatment. We studied the clinical effectiveness and usefulness of corticosteroids associated with RTX compared to RTX alone on MG remission.

Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein (GFAP) Astrocytopathy Presenting as Mild Encephalopathy with Reversible Splenium Lesion.

Introduction: Autoimmune glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) astrocytopathy is scarce and usually presents as meningoencephalomyelitis. Here, we offer the case of an atypical presentation of GFAP-astrocytopathy.

Case Presentation: We report the case of a 26-year-old woman admitted to our neurology department for a 3-week progressive and worsening neurologic picture, with secondary worsening.
