A Clinical Prognostic Scoring System for Neurocysticercosis.

 In patients with neurocysticercosis (NCC), an accurate risk prediction would allow a better therapeutic approach; however, there are currently no tools that can enhance the accuracy of risk prediction. We designed a prognostic scoring system to be used by neurologists and other physicians managing patients with NCC.  Using data from clinical records of patients from a third-level national reference center for neurological diseases, we assessed demographic, clinical, and tomographic variables among 293 patients diagnosed with NCC.

[Guillain-Barré syndrome. Its association with alpha tumor necrosis factor].

Background: adalimumab, a human recombinant monoclonal antibody against tumoral necrosis factor alpha (TNFα), has been associated with central nervous system demyelinating diseases and peripheral neuropathic syndrome. The Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) is one of them.

Clinical Case: we presented the case of a 65 year old woman, with diabetes mellitus and psoriasic arthritis, treated with adalimumab; after the fourth infusion, she developed paresthesia and mild weakness in lower limbs, these symptoms persisted three days after each infusion and each time remitted spontaneously; following the eight dose, presented a characteristic clinical picture of the GBS, confirmed with neurophysiological studies that showed an axonal motor-sensitive polyneuropathy.

[Acute bilateral thalamic infarcts in a young man with patent foramen ovale].

Background: Patent foramen ovale (PFO) has been associated with cryptogenic stroke in young patients.

Clinical Case: A 27-year-old man presented with acute confusional syndrome, altered language, bradypsychia and somnolence. Brain MRI showed symmetrical bilateral thalamic infarctions probably due to occlusion of Percheron's artery type 2b.
