[Listeria meningoencephalitis resulting in complete bilateral ophtalmoplegia and locked-in syndrome].

This is a description of the case of quite severe neurolisteriosis in an adult man resulting in the rare combination of neurological symptoms such as complete bilateral ophtalmoplegia and locked-in syndrome. The case illustrates clinical features that are special for this disorder and also highlights management of such patients.

[Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy with an acute onset. Clinical case].

Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) is a heterogeneous treatable dysimmune neuropathy. The variety of clinical forms and course of the disease can be challenging for proper diagnosis and early treatment. In a quarter of cases CIDP starts acutely, mimicking GuillainBarr syndrome.

Detecting the Potential for Consciousness in Unresponsive Patients Using the Perturbational Complexity Index.

The difficulties of behavioral evaluation of prolonged disorders of consciousness (DOC) motivate the development of brain-based diagnostic approaches. The perturbational complexity index (PCI), which measures the complexity of electroencephalographic (EEG) responses to transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), showed a remarkable sensitivity in detecting minimal signs of consciousness in previous studies. Here, we tested the reliability of PCI in an independently collected sample of 24 severely brain-injured patients, including 11 unresponsive wakefulness syndrome (UWS), 12 minimally conscious state (MCS) patients, and 1 emergence from MCS patient.

[Influenza-associated acute necrotizing encephalitis in an adult].

A rare case of acute necrotizing encephalitis associated with influenza virus in an adult man is described. This clinical case is one of the few published cases in the world literature and the only one in the Russian literature.

[Influenza - associated acute necrotizing encephalitis in adults].

The authors describe a rare clinical case of non-fatal acute necrotizing encephalitis associated with influenza virus in an adult man. This clinical case is one of the few cases published in the world literature and the only one in the Russian literature.
