Article Synopsis
- A rare organism has been identified as a potential human pathogen, necessitating increased awareness, particularly in vulnerable individuals like those with compromised immune systems or medical devices.
- A case study is presented involving a patient who experienced a persistent headache, leading to a diagnosis of meningitis and subsequent cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CSVT), despite having no major health issues or foreign medical devices.
- This case marks the first recorded instance of CSVT resulting from meningitis in a patient who is otherwise healthy, prompting a review of diagnostic and treatment strategies for such uncommon occurrences.
Background: Little is known about the characteristics of electroencephalogram (EEG) findings in epileptic patients in Ethiopia. The objective of this study was to characterize the EEG patterns, indications, antiepileptic drugs (AEDs), and epilepsy risk factors.
Methods: A retrospective observational review of EEG test records of 433 patients referred to our electrophysiology unit between July 01, 2020 and December 31, 2021.
Objective: We present a retrospective cross-sectional review of the electrodiagnostic (EDX) referral and diagnostic patterns in patients with suspected neuromuscular conditions at a tertiary hospital in Ethiopia.
Methods: Between 2016 and 2019, 313 patients were evaluated at the EDX lab in Tikur Anbessa Specialised Hospital, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. In our patients, nerve conduction study and when appropriate needle electromyography was done.
