Introduction: New-onset super-refractory status epilepticus (NOSRSE) is a neurological emergency characterised by the development of status epilepticus in a patient without epilepsy or any known prior neurological disease and with no clear structural, toxic or metabolic cause, which recurs after 24 hours of induced coma. The most common identifiable cause is inflammatory-autoimmune. Consequently, we present a case of NOSRSE related to SARS-CoV-2 vaccination as an opportunity to investigate the dysimmune origin of this pathology.

Method: Prospective observational study with 135 patients over 65 years of age. Functional status of basic (modified Katz) and instrumental activities (Lawton and Brody) and walking ability (Functional Ambulation Classification, FAC) was measured on admission, at discharge, and telephonically one year later.
Introduction And Objective: Headache is a frequent reason for consultation between primary care physicians, emergency services physicians, and neurology specialists; however, it is not always well managed. The Andalusian Society of Neurology's Headache Study Group (SANCE) aimed to analyse headache management at different levels of care.
Material And Methods: We conducted a descriptive cross-sectional study with data gathered through a retrospective survey in July 2019.
Introduction: Population aging has caused an increase in strokes in very elderly patients (VEP). We assess how secondary prevention of ischemic stroke has changed in VEP in recent decades.
Method: Retrospective study of discharges due to ischemic stroke in the Virgen Macarena, Virgen del Rocio and Valme hospitals in Seville (Spain), during the periods 1999-2001, 2014-16 and 2019-2020.
