Methods: We prospectively analyzed electro clinical and imaging characteristic of adult patients with cluster of seizures or status epilepticus between November 2013 and November 2015, in whom the diffusion weighted imaging was done within 24h after the end of last seizure (clinical or electrographic).
Results: There were thirty patients who fulfilled the inclusion and exclusion criteria.
Objectives: In the present study, we have tried to delineate the nature of psychiatric abnormalities caused by supratentorial meningiomas and the effect of surgery on them. We have tried to find the patient and tumor characters influencing the psychiatric abnormalities and their post-operative outcome.
Materials And Methods: This is a prospective study conducted on patients with supratentorial meningiomas, admitted and operated in neurosurgery department, Nizam's Institute of Medical Sciences, India, from July 2006 to July 2009.
Objectives: Cognitive deficits caused by extra-axial benign brain tumors like meningiomas and the course of these deficits after surgery is not well known. The aim of the study is to assess the pre-operative and post-operative cognitive functions in patients with meningiomas in the supratentorial compartment.
Materials And Methods: In this prospective study, patients with clinico-radiological diagnosis of supratentorial meningioma, operated upon and later confirmed by histopathological examination, were included.
Background: Non motor symptoms (NMS) of idiopathic Parkinson's disease (PD) are a major cause of disability and recognition of these symptoms and treatment is important for comprehensive health care. Deep brain stimulation of bilateral subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation (STN DBS) has been shown to improve motor symptoms in PD and effects on NMS are unknown. To investigate the NMS among PD patients who underwent STN DBS.

Methods: Retrospective analysis of data of 90 consecutive patients with JME was performed.
