Anaplastic Ependymoma and Atypical Refractory Longitudinal Expansive Transverse Myelitis Due to Immune Reaction After COVID-19 - A Case Discussion That Raises Many Unknown Questions About Covid-19.

Inflammatory neurologic manifestations, both infectious and non-infectious, have been reported secondary to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19). However, the relationship of spinal tumor and COVID-19 longitudinally extensive transverse myelitis (LETM) coexistence has never been reported in our knowledge. The clinical presentation and response to treatment of a 24-year-old female patient diagnosed with COVID-19 LETM and anaplastic ependymoma are described in this case report.

Familial Mediterranean fever gene variations could trigger -associated early-onset dystonia and diabetes mellitus: clinical identification of a family with and genetic variation association.

Objectives: We describe the clinical pictures of an index case with dystonia and his family resulting from and genetic variations based on previously published data and discuss the mechanisms that may have brought out the clinical findings.

Methods: A 17-year-old male had generalized dystonia that started at age 6 years, non-febrile abdominal pain attacks and was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at age 14 years. Meanwhile, his 13-year-old sister had the same clinical presentation.

Cognıtıve functıons in idiopathic intracranial hypertensıon.

Objective: Cognitive problems in idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is generally overlooked in the presence of disabling headache and threat to visual function. The aim of this study was to search for cognitive deficits in patients with IIH using neuropsychologic tests in addition to P300 potential recordings to assess cognition related brain activity.

Methods: Fifty IIH patients were examined using Montreal Cognitive Assessment Test, Stroop Test and Visual Aural Digit Span Test to measure different domains of cognition at the time of diagnosis.

Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) levels in peripheral blood in patients with idiopathic intracranial hypertension and migraine.

Background: Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) plays a dominant role in migraine. This prospective study was designed to investigate CGRP levels in patients with idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) and compare the results of migraine patients and healthy controls (HC). As a second objective, CGRP levels obtained from IIH patients defining sustained headache after the resolution of papilledema were compared with those not defining post-IIH headache.

Temporal arteritis and trigeminal neuralgia overlap syndrome: A case report.

Temporal arteritis and trigeminal neuralgia are rare causes of a headache, and the combination is rarer still. The present patient was diagnosed with temporal arteritis at the age of 60 years and presented with trigeminal neuralgia after the sedimentation rate had returned to normal under treatment. The underlying cause of neuralgia in cases of temporal arteritis varies.
