The following case describes a constellation of progressive cognitive and motor deficits in a 73-year-old man with cirrhosis and history of early-stage hepatocellular carcinoma confined to his liver. He had deficits in calculation, language, and writing, as well as subtle right-sided weakness.

Neurosarcoidosis of the trigeminal nerve: clinical accompaniments, radiographic findings, and association with neuralgia.

Background: Cranial neuropathy is a principal disease manifestation of neurosarcoidosis, but many forms remain poorly described, including trigeminal nerve disease despite its frequency in reported cohorts (5-12%). Herein, we characterize the clinical course of patients with neurosarcoidosis involving the trigeminal nerve.

Methods: A single-center retrospective cohort analysis of patients with biopsy-proven sarcoidosis involving the trigeminal nerve was conducted between 1/1/2000-3/7/2023.

Necrotizing Enterocolitis in an Infant With a History of Twin-Twin Transfusion Syndrome: A Case Report.

This case report describes necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) in an infant with a history of twin-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS). TTTS is a volume imbalance where the anastomosis at the vascular equator between the two placentae shifts from the donor to the recipient twin. This causes a higher risk for NEC, a marked inflammation caused by bacterial infection into the intestinal wall, from prematurity and intestinal hypoperfusion.
