Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on the trauma cases at the University of Szeged's clinic, particularly concerning undocumented migrants affected by a 4 m high fence, aiming to analyze injury patterns, challenges, and treatment trends from 2018 to 2022.
- It involved a review of 982 patients' data to assess factors like country of origin, injury type, treatment duration, and costs, revealing notable injury patterns like calcaneal and multi-fragmentary tibial fractures, with increasing patient numbers over the years.
- The findings highlight the significant healthcare implications of illegal migration, showing a rise in surgical costs in 2022 linked to more severe injuries as a result of migration policies in Hungary.

A case of Alien hand syndrome as a presentation of an acute left parietal stroke to improve emergency providers recognition of the condition as a manifestation of acute stroke. We report a case of an 81-year-old female who presented with a complaint of inability to control her right arm accompanied with a subjective sense of right upper extremity numbness and weakness. It was later identified that the patient had an acute left parietal stroke and was describing alien hand syndrome, described as involuntary movements of the right hand and upper extremity.

Corticobasal syndrome (CBS) is a rare cause of dementia and comprises varied combinations of subcortical signs (akinetic-rigid parkinsonism, dystonia, or myoclonus) with cortical signs (apraxia, alien hand or cortical sensory deficit), usually asymmetric. We aimed to report and compare the clinical and neuroimaging presentation of two patients diagnosed with CBS. While case 1 had severe non-fluent aphasia associated with mild apraxia and limb rigidity, case 2 had a more posterior cognitive impairment, with a different language pattern associated with marked visuospatial errors and hemineglect.

We present a case report of a 38-year-old woman who presented to the hospital with acute onset high amplitude, non-rhythmic, hyperkinetic movements of the right upper extremity, abnormal sensation of the right upper extremity from the elbow to the hand, and the inability to recognize her hand without visual input. This case discusses the differential diagnoses of acute hyperkinetic movement disorders and concurrent alien-limb in a patient presenting within the time window for vascular intervention. Readers are led through the reasoning behind acute interventional decision-making in a patient with a rare presentation.
