Background: Epidemiological data are sparse regarding the risk of stroke in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS).
Objective: To estimate the following: (1) the pooled prevalence of all-cause stroke, acute ischaemic stroke (AIS) and intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) in MS patients; (2) the relative risk for all-cause stroke, AIS and ICH in MS patients compared to the general population; (3) associations between patient characteristics and the risk for AIS and ICH in MS patients.
Methods: Systematic review and meta-analysis of registry-based and cohort studies.
Background: Paraneoplastic Neurological Syndromes (PNS) comprise a diverse group of disorders propagated by immune-mediated effects of malignant tumors on neural tissue.
Methods: A single-center longitudinal study was performed including consecutive adult patients treated at a tertiary academic hospital between 2015 and 2023 and diagnosed with PNS. PNS were ascertained using the 2004 and the revised 2021 PNS-Care diagnostic criteria.
Background And Purpose: Transorbital sonography (TOS) provides a noninvasive tool to detect intracranial pressure by assessing optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) and optic disc elevation (ODE). The utility of TOS in the diagnosis of idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) has been increasingly recognized.
Methods: A single-center case-control study sought to compare TOS-acquired ONSD and ODE among IIH-cases versus patients with other neurological diseases (controls).
Background: Periodic Limb Movements during Sleep (PLMS) have been described to be frequently present in stroke patients. We aimed to evaluate the prevalence and severity of PLMS in acute stroke patients and clarify the association between PLMS and coexisting Sleep Disordered Breathing (SDB). Additionally, we focused on identifying variables that could independently predict the presence of PLMS in patients with acute stroke.

- Sporadic cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) is linked to amyloid-β buildup in small brain arteries, and a study in Greece assessed its prevalence and outcomes in 68 patients over 12 months.
- Common clinical symptoms included focal neurological deficits (75%), cognitive decline (57%), and transient episodes (21%), while neuroimaging showed high rates of lobar cerebral microbleeds (93%) and cortical superficial siderosis (48%).
- Key findings indicated that cortical superficial siderosis predicted transient episodes and recurrent intracerebral hemorrhage, while a large number of lobar microbleeds was associated with cognitive decline, emphasizing the importance of neuroimaging in clinical decision-making.
