Isolated foot drop is a neurological sign frequently linked to lower motor neuron (LMN) lesions, including peroneal nerve damage or L4-L5 radiculopathy. Nonetheless, upper motor neuron (UMN) lesions, such as strokes or tumors located in the parasagittal motor cortex, may sometimes manifest as isolated foot drops. The main causes of isolated foot drop secondary to central etiologies are uncommon, with few instances documented in the literature.

Variants in KIF1A are associated with hereditary spastic paraplegia (SPG30), which can manifest in both pure and complex forms. We describe a Japanese family with a novel KIF1A variant presenting with a complex form of SPG30. Patient 1, a 69-year-old woman, experienced progressive gait disturbance due to spastic paraparesis and cerebellar atrophy, and intellectual disability.

Biallelic variants in the ERLIN1 gene were recently reported as the cause of two motor neuron degeneration diseases, SPG62 and a recessive form of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. However, only 12 individuals from five pedigrees have been identified so far. Thus, the description of the disease remains limited.

Background: Patients with delayed endolymphatic hydrops (DEH) often show caloric hypofunction and endolymphatic hydrops (ELH) on gadolinium (Gd) enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the inner ear.
Objectives: We aimed to investigate the relationship between the ELH and caloric results in ipsilateral DEH.
Material And Methods: Twelve patients with ipsilateral DEH were included, who underwent delayed MRI following intratympanic Gd application, pure-tone audiometry, caloric test, and video head impulse test (vHIT).

Background: Pure mesencephalic infarcts are uncommon, the main clinical manifestations being oculomotor signs and ataxia.
Objectives: Primary objective was to determine the incidence of pure midbrain strokes. We also evaluated the clinical spectrum, syndromes, arterial territories involved, risk factors, and outcome at 3 months.
