Background And Objectives: Neurolymphomatosis (NL) is characterized by lymphomatous infiltration of the peripheral nervous system presenting as the initial manifestation of a lymphoma (primary NL [PNL]) or in relapse of a known lymphoma (secondary NL [SNL]). This report details and compares the neurologic clinicopathologic characteristics of these 2 groups.
Methods: This retrospective study was performed on patients diagnosed with pathologically confirmed NL in nerve between January 1, 1992, and June 31, 2020.
Background: Immunization stress-related responses presenting as stroke-like symptoms could develop following COVID-19 vaccination. Therefore, this study aimed to describe the clinical characteristics of immunization stress-related responses causing stroke-like events following COVID-19 vaccination in Thailand.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective study of the secondary data of reported adverse events after COVID-19 immunization that presented with neurologic manifestations.
Prisoners are at risk for both physical and psychological diseases. Here, we report an outbreak of peripheral neuropathy in a prison in northeast Thailand. Between July and December 2014, there were 88 male prisoners at Bueng Kan Provincial Prison in Bueng Kan, Thailand suffering from peripheral neuropathy out of a total of 1,464 prisoners (6.

A 28-year-old female suffered from sudden severe pain in mid-thoracic, left scapular area, radiating to her chest. Plain radiography of the thoracic spine showed calcification in T3-4 intervertebral disc space.

Objective: To determine polyneuropathy presence and type in MS and compare MS with chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (MS-CIDP) versus MS with other non-inflammatory polyneuropathies.
Methods: Retrospective chart review of Mayo Clinic cases diagnosed with MS and polyneuropathy.
Background: The incidence, prevalence, clinical phenotypes, and treatment response of chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP) are varying in the world literature. There have been no epidemiologic studies of CIDP in Thai adult patients.
Objective: To determine clinical characteristics, phenotypes, electrophysiological tests, and treatment response of CIDP in Thai adult patients and to find factors associated with disease outcome after treatment.
Objectives: To assess the association between severity of neuropathy and disease stage, and estimate the rate of neuropathy progression in a retrospective cross-sectional analysis of a multinational population of patients with familial amyloidotic polyneuropathy (FAP).
Methods: We characterize neuropathy severity and rate of progression in available patients with FAP in France, the United States, Portugal, and Italy. Neuropathy Impairment Scores (NIS), time from symptom onset to NIS measurement, polyneuropathy disability (PND) scores, FAP disease stage, and manual grip strength data were collected.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates patients with chronic meralgia paresthetica (MP) who underwent lateral femoral cutaneous nerve (LFCN) neurectomy to alleviate severe pain and numbness in the thigh.
- Seven patients were analyzed, revealing that most were obese and had symptoms lasting between 2 to 15 years, with about 4 showing specific nerve compression and damage.
- Results indicated that most patients experienced significant pain relief post-surgery, supporting the theory that nerve compression at the inguinal ligament is a primary cause of their condition.
Background: An important cause of recurrent ischemic stroke is failure to prevent secondary stroke due to poor control of important stroke risk factors. One of the proposed important risk factor is aspirin resistance. The prevalence of aspirin resistance varied widely.

Background: Recurrent strokes are more likely to be more disabling or fatal than first-even strokes. The high frequency of recurrences underscores the importance ofsecondary prevention.
Objective: Investigate risk factors of recurrent ischemic stroke and to compare the outcomes after treatment following the Thai stroke guideline between patients with recurrent ischemic stroke and patients without recurrent ischemic stroke.
