Unprovoked Atypical Absence Status Epilepticus in a Patient With Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation.

Absence status epilepticus (ASE) is a rare but treatable condition, and when present in older adults, it can be misinterpreted as encephalopathy or behavioral changes. Our case discusses a 63-year-old patient with myelofibrosis and allogeneic stem cell transplant with late-onset de novo status epilepticus. This case report adds to the rare body of literature discussing de novo ASE whose clinical presentation can be indistinguishable from other encephalopathic or behavioral conditions.

Neuro-Behçet's Syndrome Without Genital Ulcers: A Case Report and Literature Review.

Behçet's disease is a rare multisystemic vasculitis characterized by oral ulcers, genital ulcers, and skin and ocular lesions. Neuro-Behçet's syndrome is a condition in which individuals with Behçet's disease experience neurological symptoms that cannot be attributed to other neurological diseases. We present a rare case of neuro-Behçet's syndrome with acute internuclear ophthalmoplegia and deteriorating neurological function with a prior history of recurrent oral ulcers with pathergy-like features, acneiform papulopustular rash, retinal hemorrhages, and recurrent epididymitis without genital ulcers.

The Role of Exercise in Parkinson's Disease.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive, neurodegenerative disorder of the central nervous system. While it primarily affects motor function, patients eventually develop non-motor symptoms including depression, anxiety, and eventually dementia. Although there is currently no cure, treatment is aimed largely at improving quality of life though medication or surgical techniques to reduce motor symptoms.

Transfusion-Related Acute Brain Injury: A Case Report on Reversible Cerebral Vasoconstriction Syndrome.

Reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome (RCVS) manifests with a thunderclap headache and reversible vascular abnormalities. Red blood cell transfusions have not been well identified as a risk factor for RCVS. We report a rare case of acute brain injury resulting from RCVS after a packed red blood cell (PRBC) transfusion.
