Validation of a New Graphic Facial Nerve Grading System: FAME Scale.

Background And Objective: Most of the existing qualitative facial nerve grading systems are very subjective while the quantitative grading systems are more complex, require longer data input time and specific software. There is a need for having a scoring system with graphic criteria to improve the subjectivity, reliability and convenience. We aimed to develop and validate such a reliable graphic scale for use in Bell's palsy.

Guidelines versus ground lines: Tuberculosis of the central nervous system.

Aim: This questionnaire-based national survey is aimed at understanding the patterns of practice of various aspects of central nervous system (CNS) tuberculosis (TB) among neurologists.

Settings And Design: Neurology department of a tertiary medical college.

Materials And Methods: A questionnaire was sent through email to all practicing neurologists in India.

Clinico-Electrophysiological and Genetic Overlaps and Magnetic Resonance Imaging Findings in Charcot-Marie- Tooth Disease: A Pilot Study from Western India.

Background: Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease is clinically and genetically heterogeneous. There are no published series describing clinical, electrophysiological, and genetic information on CMT from the Indian subcontinent. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) neurography technique provides useful information about the plexus and roots and can be employed in patients with CMT.
