Unlabelled: The recrudescence of Varicella Zoster Virus in the head and neck region often manifests as Ramsay Hunt Syndrome, characterised by facial nerve palsy, vesicular rash in the distribution of facial nerve and neuralgia. Rarely it causes cranial polyneuropathy (CP). We present a case of herpes zoster with CP, highlighting the diagnostic challenges and management in a resource-limited setting.

Idiopathic hypertrophic pachymeningitis (IHP) is a rare, chronic inflammatory disorder characterized by fibrotic thickening of the dura mater. The etiology of IHP is currently unknown; however, IHP often mimics other inflammatory conditions (causes of secondary hypertrophic pachymeningitis) including neurosarcoidosis, granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA), and IgG4-related disease. IHP manifests clinically with a spectrum of neurologic symptoms, including headache, paresthesia, cranial nerve (CN) palsies, and seizures.

Background And Aims: In 2019, we conducted a cross-sectional study, collecting information on 50 patients with CMT4B, an ultrarare CMT subtype, to better define the clinical phenotype. We now aimed at investigating disease progression in 26 patients with CMT4B1/CMT4B2, recruited from the previous study and among the Inherited Neuropathy Consortium.
Materials And Methods: We retrospectively analysed disease progression in patients with CMT4B1/CMT4B2, collecting MRC scores from nine muscle pairs, Charcot-Marie-Tooth Examination Score (CMTES), and a minimal dataset of clinical information (walking difficulties, aids dependency, upper limb impairment, cranial nerves involvement) at baseline and follow-up visits.

Background: The study analyzed the clinical features and risk factors for poor prognosis in children with Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) spectrum disorders positive for anti-sulfatide antibodies.
Methods: Clinical and follow-up data of 43 children diagnosed with GBS spectrum disorders positive for serum and/or cerebrospinal fluid anti-sulfatide antibodies and treated at the Children's Hospital of Chongqing Medical University between July 2018 and April 2023 were analyzed. A 1:1 matching was performed for a comparative analysis of clinical features.
