Socioeconomic Risk Factors in Neurocysticercosis.

NCC is responsible for around 30% of active epilepsy in endemic countries such as India. Knowing socioeconomic factors associated with NCC can help in decreasing the incidence of this disease. We intend to study socioeconomic risk factors in NCC patients and how these factors are different from patients without NCC.

Oculomotor Cranial Neuropathies: Diagnosis and Management.

Ocular nerve palsies are among the most common cranial neuropathies in neurological practice. Nerves can get affected anywhere along their path from the brainstem to the orbit. There can be isolated involvement of multiple cranial nerves together.

nCoV-2019 infection induced neurological outcome and manifestation, linking its historical ancestor SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

The first systematic review and meta-analysis to help clinician to identify early signs and symptoms of neurological manifestation in COVID-19 positive patients which will further help in early management of patients. Present systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to discuss the prevalence of neurological involvement of the 2019-nCoV patients and assess the symptomatic trend of events as compared to the 2002 "SARS" and 2012 "MERS" pandemics. The articles were systematically screened through several search engine and databases.

Carpal tunnel syndrome or C8/T1 radiculoneuropathy due to perinural cyst: A diagnostic conundrum.

Perineural cysts are usually described in Lumbosacral region and are uncommonly seen in cervical spine. These are mostly asymptomatic, with only a few cases of symptomatic cervical perineural cysts. No previous case report of perineural cyst causing C8/T1 radiculoneuropathy mimicking clinically as Carpal tunnel syndrome is reported in the literature.

Lafora body disease: a case of progressive myoclonic epilepsy.

Progressive myoclonic epilepsy (PME) is a progressive neurological disorder. Unfortunately, until now, no definitive curative treatment exists; however, it is of utmost importance to identify patients with PME. The underlying aetiology can be pinpointed if methodological clinical evaluation is performed, followed by subsequent genetic testing.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) versus computed tomographic scan (CT scan) of brain in evaluation of suspected cavernous sinus syndrome.

Background And Purpose: The cavernous sinus is a unique region owing to anatomical factors and the pathologies affecting it. The diagnosis of cavernous sinus syndrome (CSS) predominantly relies on clinicoradiological correlation. We studied the utility of computed tomographic (CT) scan versus magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the diagnosis of CSS.

Primary Central Nervous System Lymphoma With Diffuse Neurolymphomatosis Involving Multiple Cranial and Spinal Nerve Roots.

Primary central nervous system lymphoma is an extranodal lymphoma originating in the brain, spinal cord, and leptomeninges, which rarely spreads outside the nervous system. Neurolymphomatosis is the term used to describe lymphomatous involvement of the cranial nerves (except optic nerve) and peripheral nerve roots or plexus. We report a case of a 23-year-old man presented with progressive weakness of all 4 limbs.

Special scenarios in the management of central nervous system aspergillosis: a case series and review of literature.

is a rare but important opportunistic pathogen to invade the central nervous system (CNS). It is a significant pathogen of not only immunocompromised but also immunocompetent patients. Its manifestations are pleiotropic, reflecting multiple mechanisms of pathogenesis and host interactions.
