Introduction: Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is a clinico-radiological entity characterized by headache, altered mental status, epileptic seizures, visual disturbances and typically transient changes in posterior cerebral circulation areas. In this article, we present a case of alcohol withdrawal accompanied by PRES.
Case Presentation: A 53-year-old male patient presented to the emergency department with visual hallucinations and meaningless speech.
Purpose: Patients with Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), especially severe cases that require treatment in intensive care units, often experience swallowing difficulties. However, the oropharyngeal function of patients with GBS not treated in intensive care units is not typically evaluated using neurophysiological techniques.
Methods: Electrophysiological techniques were used to determine dysphagia limit and sequential water swallowing values in an electromyography laboratory.
Background. Hereditary inclusion body myopathy is caused by biallelic defects in the GNE gene located on chromosome 9p13. It generally affects adults older than 20 years of age.
