Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to analyze the clinical features, radiological outcomes, treatments, and long-term follow-up of patients diagnosed with spinal cord neurosarcoidosis over a 25-year period at a single medical center.
- A total of 39 patients were reviewed, with most showing extensive intramedullary lesions and common symptoms like neuropathic pain and weakness, leading to a prevalent use of corticosteroids and methotrexate for treatment.
- Follow-up MRI results indicated improvements over time, with a notable percentage of patients experiencing complete resolution of MRI enhancements, highlighting the need for better diagnostic clarity and treatment guidelines due to the complexity of the condition.
Background And Objectives: RCVS (Reversible Cerebral Vasoconstrictive Syndrome) is a condition associated with vasoactive agents that alter endothelial function. There is growing evidence that endothelial inflammation contributes to cerebrovascular disease in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). In our study, we describe the clinical features, risk factors, and outcomes of RCVS in a multicenter case series of patients with COVID-19.

Additionally, new methods have been developed to insert a 16 channel array of carbon fiber microelectrodes. Before assessing the in vivo long-term viability of these arrays, accelerated soak tests were carried out to determine the most stable site coating material.
