Article Synopsis
- Serum neurofilament light (sNfL) serves as a biomarker for neuro-axonal damage in multiple sclerosis (MS) but its clinical usage is still limited; this study assessed how its implementation affects clinical decisions at the MS Center Amsterdam.
- Over the study period (August 2021-December 2022), sNfL was evaluated in various contexts, with a notable change in clinical decisions in 19.3% of cases, especially when assessing new symptoms or when higher sNfL levels were present.
- The findings suggest that integrating sNfL into clinical practice improved decision-making certainty and potentially adjusted expectations regarding MRI activity, indicating its potential value in patient care while calling for further research
Sudden changes in behaviour and concentration problems can be caused by non-convulsive status epilepticus. This generalised form of epilepsy can be easily missed as a diagnosis. In this case report series we describe three adolescent boys (13, 14 and 17 years old respectively) presenting with behavioural disturbances caused by idiopathic non-convulsive status epilepticus.
