[Cerebral infarction in young patients: clinical characteristics and evolution in an Argentine cohort].

Introduction: Stroke (CVA) in young adults comprises approximately 10% of all cerebrovascular events. The information available on the recurrence of a new event in this population and particularly in Latin America is limited. Our objective was to examine the presence of stroke recurrence after having presented a stroke.

Guillain-Barré Syndrome and COVID-19 Vaccine: A Multicenter Retrospective Study of 46 Cases.

In the context of the global vaccination campaign against COVID-19, several cases of postvaccinal Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) were reported. Whether a causal relationship exists between these events has yet to be established. We investigated the clinical and electromyographic characteristics of patients who developed GBS after COVID-19 vaccination and compare these with findings in patients with GBS, without a history of recent vaccination.

Cyclosporine-induced erythromelalgia.

Erythromelalgia is a rare syndrome characterised by recurrent erythema, heat and burning pain in the extremities. There are two types: primary (genetic) and secondary (toxic, drug-related or associated with other diseases). We report a 42-year-old woman who developed erythromelalgia after taking cyclosporine for myasthenia gravis.

Central Venous Reflux, a Rare Cause of Neurological Manifestations in Hemodialysis Patients: A Case Report and Literature Review.

Central venous disease (CVD) is a serious complication in hemodialysis patients. Neurological manifestations are rare. We describe a female with end-stage renal disease with throbbing headache accompanied by paresthesia, weakness, and abnormal posture of her right hand during dialysis sessions.

Impact of Rituximab on relapse rate and disability in an Ecuadorian cohort of patients with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders.

Background: Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorder (NMOSD) is a severe inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system that often causes disability. Based on evidence from prospective and retrospective studies, Rituximab (RTX) has been used as the first-line of therapy in NMOSD. Nevertheless, evidence of the impact of RTX on relapse rate and disability in Ecuadorian patients with NMOSD is lacking.
