Neurologic symptoms commonly occur in oncology patients, and in some cases they may be the presenting symptom of malignancy. Cancer-related neurologic syndromes are rarely pathognomonic and must be differentiated from other benign or serious conditions. This article reviews common neuro-oncologic syndromes that may lead to urgent evaluation in the emergency department, including cerebral edema, altered mental status, seizures, acute stroke, leptomeningeal metastases, and paraneoplastic neurologic syndromes.

Cerebral Edema Progression and Outcomes in Large Infarct Patients Undergoing Endovascular Thrombectomy.
Ann Neurol
March 2025
Department of Neurology, Beijing Tiantan Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing, China.
Objective: The goal was to analyze the progression of cerebral edema post-endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) in large infarcts and its association with functional outcomes.
Methods: A secondary analysis of the Endovascular Therapy in Acute Anterior Circulation Large Vessel Occlusive Patients with a Large Infarct Core trial was conducted in patients with large ischemic cores randomized to receive either EVT or medical management (MM) alone. Patients who had follow-up imaging within 7 days post-randomization were involved.
Neuroprotective effects of hirudin against cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury via inhibition of CCL2-mediated ferroptosis and inflammatory pathways.

Cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury (CIRI) is a leading cause of neurological impairment in stroke, primarily correlated to oxidative stress, inflammation, and ferroptosis. This study investigates the neuroprotective effects of hirudin on CIRI, focusing on its role in modulating neuronal survival, oxidative stress, and ferroptosis markers through inhibition of CCL2. A middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) model in mice and an oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R) model in HT22 cells were used to simulate ischemic conditions.

Introduction: Congenital human herpesvirus 6 (HHV6) infection occurs in 1% of the general population and may result from the transmission of an inherited chromosomally integrated HHV6 (iciHHV6) or transplacental infection. It is mostly asymptomatic.
Case Reports: Case 1: a 29th-week-old female preterm newborn, admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit, became clinically unstable and irritable on the 20th day of hospitalization.
Peri-lead edema (PLE) after deep brain stimulation may mimic brain infection on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). We present a case of symptomatic PLE with annular contrast enhancement on MRI suggestive of an infectious cause. We show that careful clinical evaluation and laboratory testing, in addition to neuroimaging, are essential to guide treatment and to avoid unnecessary interventions in PLE cases with a favorable spontaneous course.

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) leads to permanent damage, including neurological deficits, cognitive deficits, and cerebral edema. The specific inhibitor of serine protease Omi/high-temperature requirement A2 (Omi/HtrA2), UCF-101, exerts neuroprotective effects, but its role in TBI remains unclear. Eighty-four male Sprague Dawley rats were randomized to control, TBI, UCF-101 of low dose (1.
