Published: March 2008

In a 20-year-old male patient, a 180 degree inversion of visual image was found as a manifestation of multiple sclerosis. Upside down reversal of vision is not a well-known sign in multiple sclerosis. Exact mechanism is still unknown. Lesions involving cortical areas, mainly the parieto-occipital region, have occasionally been documented. To our knowledge this is the first report of upside-down reversal of vision in multiple sclerosis with cerebra lesion on MRI.

The dysfunction of stress granules (SGs) plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of various neurological disorders, with T cell intracellular antigen 1 (TIA1) being a key component of SGs. However, the role and mechanism of TIA1-mediated SGs in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) remain unclear. In this study, upregulation of TIA1, its translocation from the nucleus to the cytoplasm, and co-localization with G3BP1 (a marker of SGs) are observed in the spinal cord neurons of EAE mice.

Patient-Reported Outcomes Following Total Knee Arthroplasty With Multiple Sclerosis Demonstrate Similar Functional Outcome Measures: A Propensity-Matched Analysis.

J Am Acad Orthop Surg

January 2025

From the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA (Lim, Sayeed, Bedair, and Melnic), and the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Newton-Wellesley Hospital, Newton, MA (Lim, Sayeed, Bedair, and Melnic).

Introduction: Multiple sclerosis (MS) may negatively influence the patient-reported outcomes measures (PROMs) when undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA). However, functional outcomes in this select population remains poorly characterized. This study aimed to compare clinical outcomes and rate of achieving Minimal Clinically Important Difference for Improvement (MCID-I) and Minimal Clinically Important Difference for Worsening (MCID-W) between MS and non-MS TKAs.

Background: Bilateral trigeminal neuralgia secondary to multiple sclerosis is an extremely rare condition. When Gasserian ganglion block is performed, it is necessary to achieve reliable long-term analgesic effects while avoiding treatment-related complications.

Case Presentation: A 49-year-old male with multiple sclerosis exhibited persistent dull pain and paroxysmal electric shock-like pain in his bilateral maxillary molars and mandible.

Background And Objectives: Timely access to specialist care is crucial in expeditious diagnosis and treatment. Our study aimed to assess the time patients wait from being referred by a physician to seeing a neurologist using Medicare data. Specifically, we evaluated differences in access related to sex, race/ethnicity, geography, and availability of neurologists.
