Background: Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, many dentists have opted for Teledentistry as a mechanism for patient consultation, oral lesion evaluation, diagnosis, and monitoring. The current study explores the challenges faced and potential solutions proposed by dentists practicing Teledentistry in a developing country like Pakistan.

Methods: A qualitative case study was carried out from January to December 2021.

A 68-year-old male patient presented to the neurology clinic with tremor, lightheadedness, and a history of syncope. Exam showed mild Parkinsonism. Neuroimaging revealed symmetric lesions of the globus pallidus (the eye-of-the-tiger sign) concerning for neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation (NBIA).

Article Synopsis
  • Prolonged DCMAP duration ("DCMAP dispersion") aids in diagnosing chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) and is effective at distinguishing it from conditions like amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
  • In a study with 207 motor nerves from 53 AIDP patients and 148 nerves from 55 ALS patients, an optimal DCMAP cutoff of 8.5 ms identified DCMAP dispersion in 66% of AIDP cases versus 9% for ALS.
  • The presence of DCMAP dispersion significantly improved the sensitivity of existing diagnostic criteria for AIDP, raising it to 76%-87% and revealing DCMAP dispersion in some AIDP patients who

Short-lasting unilateral neuralgiform headache attacks with conjuctival injection and tearing (SUNCT) syndrome is an uncommon headache syndrome. It is usually resistant to treatment. We describe a patient who responded successfully to the anticonvulsant lamotrigine, but not other anticonvulsants commonly used in the treatment of migraine and other cephalgias.
