A rare case of lupus cerebritis presenting as ictal epileptic headache: A case report.

Ictal epileptic headache, characterized by headache as the sole symptom of a seizure attack, is a rare condition. In this case report, we present a 52-year-old female with a history of systemic lupus erythematosus who sought medical attention at the headache clinic due to a new type of headache. The headache was described as an intense painful wave followed by a dull headache, without autonomic symptoms or migrainous features.

Magnitude and predictors of post-stroke cognitive impairment among Ethiopian stroke survivors: A facility-based cross-sectional study.

Background: Stroke is emerging as a public health threat in sub-Saharan African countries including Ethiopia. Even though cognitive impairment is increasingly being recognized as a major cause of disability among stroke survivors there is a paucity of information on the magnitude of stroke-related cognitive dysfunction in Ethiopia. Thus, we assessed the magnitude and predictors of post-stroke cognitive impairment among Ethiopian stroke survivors.

Do Headache Patients Require More Care in Between Visits Than Other Neurology Outpatients?

Background: There is evidence that time spent in patient care in between patient visits is increasing and a contributor to physician burnout. The extent of this work on providers in the field of headache medicine is unknown.

Objectives: To establish whether headache outpatients require a high level of care in addition to clinic visits, based on the quantity of remote encounters per patient (phone calls and secure email communication to the clinics), in comparison to other neurologic clinics.

Extended Multiple-Field High-Definition transcranial direct current stimulation (HD-tDCS) is well tolerated and safe in healthy adults.

Background: High definition transcranial direct current stimulation (HD-tDCS) has been administered over single brain regions for small numbers of sessions. Safety, feasibility and tolerability of HD-tDCS over multiple brain regions, multiple daily stimulations and long periods are not established.

Objective: We studied safety, feasibility and tolerability of daily HD-tDCS over 2-4 brain regions for 20 sessions in healthy adults.

Neurocysticercosis in Wisconsin: 3 cases and a review of the literature.

Neurocysticercosis is the most common parasitic infection of the brain. Endemic in many regions of the world, neurocysticercosis is now showing up in nonendemic areas such as Wisconsin. We present 3 patients that illustrate features typical for neurocysticercosis in anon-endemic area, including immigrant/travel status, presentation with focal seizures, classic magnetic resonance imaging features of single enhancing lesions, and good response to treatment with anticonvulsants, anti-inflammatory agents, and cysticidal drugs.

Diagnosis of posterior cortical atrophy delayed by coexisting Fuchs' Endothelial Corneal Dystrophy.

Posterior cortical atrophy (PCA), also known as the visual variant of Alzheimer's Disease, is a rare neurodegenerative disorder that affects the visuospatial systems in its initial stages. Due to the rarity of this condition and the presence of relatively preserved memory during its early stages compared to other dementias, its accurate diagnosis can be delayed. When accompanied by a comorbid visual disorder, the diagnostic process becomes even more challenging.
