Delusional Infestation in Parkinson's Disease Secondary to Piribedil Escalation: An Uncommon Case Report.

Delusional infestation (DI) is characterized by delusions of being infested by small microorganisms or even inanimate objects without any medical or microbiological evidence. The pathophysiology of DI is not well understood, and there are two types of DI: the primary form, where there is no underlying cause, and the secondary form, which is related to an associated psychiatric disorder, medical condition, or substance use. DI in Parkinson's disease (PD) is rarely reported, and most published cases are due to antiparkinsonian drugs.

Isolated Facial Diplegia: A Rare Presentation of Guillain-Barré Syndrome.

Guillain-Barré syndrome is an autoimmune condition typically characterized by progressive areflexic ascending motor deficit and paresthesia. However, atypical presentations, such as isolated facial diplegia, are rare and diagnostically challenging. We describe a unique case of Guillain-Barré syndrome in a 46-year-old male patient, presenting as isolated bilateral facial paralysis without preceding medical history.

[Neuromeningeal tuberculosis: clinical, paraclinical, therapeutic and evolutionary profile of 21 patients].

The purpose of this study was to investigate the epidemiological, clinical, paraclinical, therapeutic and evolutionary profile of patients with neuromeningeal tuberculosis. We conducted a retrospective study of 21 patients with neuromeningeal tuberculosis hospitalized in the Neurological Department between January 2002 and December 2016. Women were slightly more represented than men (SR=0.

Cerebral venous thrombosis secondary to ulcerative colitis: A case report with a literature review.

Ulcerative colitis is an idiopathic inflammatory bowel condition that may be worsened by thromboembolic events such deep vein thrombosis, cerebral venous thrombosis, and pulmonary embolism. Cerebral venous thrombosis is a rare but critical consequence of ulcerative colitis characterized by high mortality and morbidity rate. It is thought to be caused by the hypercoagulable state that occurs during ulcerative colitis relapse.

Neuro-Behçet's Disease With Coma.

Behçet's disease (BD) is a multisystemic vasculitis condition with unknown pathophysiology. Its clinical manifestations include recurrent oral and genital ulcers, cutaneous lesions, and uveitis. The term neuro-Behçet's disease (NBD) refers to the predominant neurological involvement in BD.

[Neurological disorders secondary to vitamin B12 deficiency: about 29 cases].

Neurological disorders secondary to vitamin B12 deficiency are polymorphic and diverse. There have been very few studies conducted in the Moroccan as well as in the African population. This study aims to describe the clinical, paraclinical, evolutionary features of neurological manifestations in patients with vitamin B12 deficiency within the Department of Neurology at the Moulay Ismail Military Hospital, Meknes over a period of 18 years (1999-2017).

[Cerebral neurosarcoidosis].

We report the case of a 37-year old patient with right optic neuropathy. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed T2 hypersignal in the midline, enhanced after gadolinium injection (figure 1). Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis revealed lymphocytic meningitis with 64 white blood cells associated with hyperproteinorachy.

An unusual presentation of neurosarcoidosis with progressive hearing loss.

Sarcoidosis is a granulomatous disease of unknown etiology that can involve several organ system. Neurological manifestations are not common and mostly include cranial neuropathies. However, auricular disorders are rare and exceptionally inaugural.

[Rickettsiosis associated with cerebral infarction: a new case study].

Mediterranean spotted fever (MSF) is a rickettsiosis of the spotted fever group caused by rickettsia conorii. This zoonosis is benign but it can be complicated by severe neurological impairment (hence its severity). We report the case of a 49-year old patient hospitalized in the Department of Dermatology for rickettsiosis, who suffered from right massive hemiplegia of brutal onset.

[Multiple meningeal and cerebral involvement revealing multifocal tuberculosis in an immunocompetent patient].

Tuberculosis is a public health problem in Morocco. Central nervous system involvement is nevertheless rare, occurring in the context of multifocal or miliary tuberculosis. However, it may be a mode of revelation even in an immunocompetent subject.

Cerebral venous thrombosis revealing an ulcerative colitis.

Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) has been reported as an uncommon and devastating complication of ulcerative colitis (UC), with an annual incidence varying between 0,5 to 6,7%. It is suspected to be a consequence of the hypercoagulable state occurring during disease relapse. We report a case of 22-year-old female patient presenting with CVT revealing an UC.

Spinal cord ischemia secondary to transcatheter arterial chemoembolization for hepatocellular carcinoma.

Transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) is accepted worldwide as an effective treatment for patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma. Although considered relatively safe, TACE has been associated with several complications. Spinal cord ischemia secondary to TACE is an extremely rare but disastrous complication.
