Introduction: Microvascular decompression (MVD) surgery is the first choice treatment for refractory cranial neuralgia secondary to vascular compression. Simultaneous neuralgia of two cranial nerves is extremely rare. We describe a case of concomitant refractory trigeminal (TN) and glossopharyngeal (GN) neuralgia secondary to neurovascular crossover, treated surgically at the same time.

Introduction: Ischaemic stroke (IS) due to cervical and cerebral artery dissection (CAD) is a rare entity, and few data are available on the use of such reperfusion therapies as intravenous fibrinolysis and mechanical thrombectomy in these patients. We analysed the use of these treatments in patients with IS due to CAD and compared them against patients receiving reperfusion treatment for IS of other aetiologies.

Methods: We conducted an observational, retrospective, multicentre study of patients with IS due to CAD recorded in the National Stroke Registry of the Spanish Society of Neurology during the period 2011-2019.

Introduction: Ischaemic stroke is the most common neurological complication of cardiac catheterisation. This study aims to analyse the clinical and prognostic differences between post-catheterisation stroke code (SC) and all other in-hospital and prehospital SC.

Methods: We prospectively recorded SC activation at our centre between March 2011 and April 2016.

Cognitive impairment and behavioral changes in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) are now recognized as part of the disease. Whether it is solely related to the extent of TDP-43 pathology is currently unclear. We aim to evaluate the influence of age, genetics, neuropathological features, and concomitant pathologies on cognitive impairment in ALS patients.
