Rhinocerebral mucormycosis is an acute, rapidly progressing, and life-threatening condition that predominantly affects individuals with uncontrolled diabetes and those who are immunocompromised. One critical complication of this disease is the thrombosis of orbital vessels, which can be indicative of angioinvasiveness and predict the subsequent development of cerebral infarctions. In this context, we present a case series of patients with rhino-orbital mucormycosis who experienced complications due to internal carotid artery thrombosis. This case series highlights the severe vascular involvement associated with rhino-orbital mucormycosis and underscores the importance of early recognition and aggressive management to prevent catastrophic outcomes.

This case series reports three patients initially managed for presumed infectious meningoencephalitis, who were ultimately diagnosed with myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein associated disease (MOGAD). Their clinical presentations were strikingly similar to those of acute infectious meningoencephalitis, which posed a challenge to the initial diagnostic process. Notably, despite the absence of typical radiological changes associated with MOGAD, such as cerebral cortical encephalitis, these patients exhibited focal neurological and electroencephalographic changes.

Background: We aimed to explore the clinical features and predictive factors for visual prognosis of neurosyphilis-associated optic atrophy (NSAOA).
Methods: This retrospective observational study included 17 patients (33 eyes) with NSAOA who received standard anti-ocular syphilis treatment. LogMAR (logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution) best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), visual field, and optical coherence tomography, were recorded at baseline, short-term (within one month after treatment), and long-term (> 6 months) follow-up.

Objectives: COVID-19 is an independent risk factor for ischemic stroke. Studies from early in the pandemic show increased rates of unfavorable recanalization, poor outcomes, and mortality in patients who were COVID-19 positive at the time of mechanical thrombectomy. However, there are currently no studies examining these parameters during the later pandemic when circulating variants were less virulent.
