Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are a pharmacological group increasingly used in Oncology and Hematology. These treatments can lead to autoimmune complications, with neurological conditions, especially central nervous system (CNS) involvement, being rare. We describe a case of seropositive neuromyelitis optica in a patient with locally advanced lung adenocarcinoma treated with Atezolizumab.

Background: Hyperreflective retinal foci (HRF) visualized by optical coherence tomography (OCT) potentially represent clusters of microglia. We compared HRF frequencies and their association with retinal neurodegeneration between people with clinically isolated syndrome (pwCIS), multiple sclerosis (pwMS), aquaporin 4-IgG positive neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (pwNMOSD), and healthy controls (HC)-as well as between eyes with (ONeyes) and without a history of optic neuritis (ONeyes).

Methods: Cross-sectional data of pwCIS, pwMS, and pwNMOSD with previous ON and HC were acquired at Charité-Universitätsmedizin Berlin.

Some patients with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD)-like symptoms test negative for anti-aquaporin-4 (anti-AQP4) antibodies. Among them, a subset has antibodies targeting myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG), a condition now termed MOG antibody-associated disease (MOGAD). MOGAD shares features with NMOSD, like optic neuritis and myelitis, but differs in pathophysiology, clinical presentation, imaging findings, and biomarkers.

Deep learning MRI models for the differential diagnosis of tumefactive demyelination versus -wildtype glioblastoma.

From the Department of Radiology (GMC, MM, YN, BJE), Department of Quantitative Health Sciences (PAD, MLK, JEEP), Department of Neurology (CBM, JAS, MWR, FSG, HKP, DHL, WOT), Department of Neurosurgery (TCB), Department of Laboratory Medicine and Pathology (RBJ), and Center for Multiple Sclerosis and Autoimmune Neurology (WOT), Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN, USA; Dell Medical School (MFE), University of Texas, Austin, TX, USA.

Background And Purpose: Diagnosis of tumefactive demyelination can be challenging. The diagnosis of indeterminate brain lesions on MRI often requires tissue confirmation via brain biopsy. Noninvasive methods for accurate diagnosis of tumor and non-tumor etiologies allows for tailored therapy, optimal tumor control, and a reduced risk of iatrogenic morbidity and mortality.

Background: Sexual dysfunction (SF) is a prevalent and distressing comorbidity in males with multiple sclerosis (MwMS) and neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (MwNMOSD).

Aims: This study aimed to assess the SF in MwMS and MwNMOSD in comparison to male healthy controls (HCs) and identify its associated predictors.

Methods: This case-control study was conducted from February 2023 to January 2024 at the MS clinic of Kashani Hospital, Isfahan, Iran.
