Article Synopsis
- A case study reports a healthy male developing cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) after receiving the Ad26.COV2.S COVID-19 vaccine, presenting with symptoms like headache and vomiting.
- Neuroimaging revealed CVST, and despite an unremarkable hypercoagulability workup, the patient was treated with immunotherapy and anticoagulation, leading to symptom resolution.
- The article emphasizes the importance of early recognition and neuroimaging for severe headaches, especially after vaccination, to ensure better clinical outcomes.
Oxygen toxicity seizures are a well-known complication of hyperbaric oxygen treatment (HBOT). Until now, there have not been any reported cases of an acute ischaemic event (stroke) as the result of a HBOT-associated oxygen toxicity seizure. We report an event in which a seizure and stroke occurred together and consider that the stroke may have been caused by seizure-induced demand ischaemia.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFHIV-1 associated dementia (HAD) is a metabolic encephalopathy induced by viral infection and fueled by immune activation of brain mononuclear phagocytes (perivascular and parenchymal macrophages and microglia). These same cells serve as reservoirs for persistent infection and sources for soluble neurotoxins. Neurologic impairments are manifested by cognitive, behavioral, and motor abnormalities that occur years after viral exposure and are associated with depletion of CD4+ T lymphocytes and high viral loads.
