Essential Palatal Tremor Following COVID-19 Vaccine: A Case Report.

Palatal tremor (PT) is an infrequent disorder characterized by abnormal movement distinguished into symptomatic palatal tremor (SPT) and essential palatal tremor (EPT). SPT can have various causes, including damage to the Guillain-Mollaret triangle and hypertrophy of the inferior olive. In contrast, EPT is often associated with clicking sounds in the ears with normal imaging results and may have a functional origin.

Anti-seizure medication prescription preferences: a Moroccan multicenter study.

Background: The management of epilepsy is mainly based on antiseizure medications (ASMs). More than 20 ASMs have been introduced in clinical practice, providing a multitude of prescription choices. To date, there are no published data on the trends in ASMs prescriptions in Morocco.

Double Cortex Syndrome: An Unusual Cause of Seizures.

Gray matter heterotopia (GMH) is caused by abnormal neuronal migration during brain development. Subcortical band heterotopia (SBH), or double cortex, is a rare variant of GMH that mainly affects female patients with epilepsy (PWE) with different degrees of mental retardation. We present the case of a 25-year-old woman who was admitted to the neurology department of our tertiary hospital with generalized tonic-clonic seizures.

Spontaneous bilateral femoral neck fracture unveiling end-stage chronic kidney disease in a pediatric patient: A case report.

Perturbations in bone and mineral metabolism associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD) present a nuanced challenge, particularly in the context of their implications for fracture susceptibility in the pediatric demographic. Despite the well-established escalation of fracture risk in adults afflicted with end-stage renal disease, the extant scientific literature addressing this phenomenon in pediatric cohorts remains notably limited. Within this framework, we present the case of a 16-year-old adolescent devoid of significant medical antecedents, admitted to our facility due to terminal chronic kidney disease of indeterminate etiology.

Cochleovestibular Signs As the First Manifestation of Fabry Disease: A Case Report and Literature Review.

Fabry disease (FD) is an X-linked lysosomal storage disorder characterized by alpha-galactosidase A deficiency, resulting in globotriaosylceramide accumulation and diverse clinical manifestations. We report a case of a 22-year-old male presenting with cochleovestibular disorders as the initial FD manifestation, alongside a literature review. Diagnostic evaluation revealed reduced alpha-galactosidase A activity, confirming FD.

Steroid-Responsive Encephalopathy Associated With Autoimmune Thyroiditis Presenting With Parkinsonism.

Steroid-responsive encephalopathy associated with autoimmune thyroiditis (SREAT) is a rare condition defined as encephalopathy with a positive antithyroid antibody. We report the case of a 52-year-old woman who presented with Parkinsonism associated with Hashimoto's thyroiditis. A few similar cases have been reported.

Antibiotics-Induced Intracranial Hypertension: A Case Report With Literature Review.

Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is a rare condition characterized by increased intracranial pressure, with an unknown cause. However, the pathophysiology of antibiotic-induced IIH remains unclear. The clinical symptoms include headache, visual disturbances, and vomiting.

Cranial Neuropathy As Initial Manifestation of Primary Sjögren's Syndrome: A Case Series With Literature Review.

The clinical spectrum of primary Sjögren's syndrome (PSS) extends beyond its classical manifestations. This work explores an unusual aspect of PSS, namely the initial presentation of cranial neuropathy. The study was conducted over a period of 22 months, from January 2022 to October 2023.

Artificial Intelligence and Multiple Sclerosis: Up-to-Date Review.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) remains a challenging neurological disorder for the clinician in terms of diagnosis and management. The growing integration of AI-based algorithms in healthcare offers a golden opportunity for clinicians and patients with MS. AI models are based on statistical analyses of large quantities of data from patients including "demographics, genetics, clinical and radiological presentation.

Renal cell carcinoma with gallbladder metastasis: a case report.

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the most frequent renal neoplasm, with a high rate of metastasis, especially in the lungs and bones. The gallbladder is one of the rare metastatic sites. We report an 80-year-old woman who presented with chronic right flank pain for the last six months.

Clinical profile of schizophrenia comorbid with obsessive-compulsive symptoms: A comparative study.

Objective: Describe and compare the clinical profile of schizophrenic patients with and without obsessive-compulsive symptoms and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) patients.

Methods: A descriptive and analytical cross-sectional study was carried out at the psychiatry department of Hassan II University Hospital in Fez over 12 months to compare three groups of patients: "schizo-obsessive" (n=32), "schizophrenia" (n=34), and "OCD" (n=46). All participants (n=112) were assessed using the mini-international neuropsychiatric interview (MINI), the Yale-Brown obsessive-compulsive scale (Y-BOCS), the Brown assessment of beliefs scale (BABS), the Hamilton anxiety rating scale (HAM-A), the Beck's depression inventory (BDI-II), the positive and negative syndrome scale (PANSS), and the clinical global impressions-severity scale (CGI-S).

Stigmatizing attitudes and social perception towards mental illness among Moroccan medical students.

Objectives: This study aimed to explore medical students' attitudes, social perception, and knowledge towards mental illness and identify the associated factors.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in the Medical Faculty of Fez. A representative sample of 420 Moroccan students from the first to the seventh years was selected randomly during the academic year (2018/2019).

Study of predictive factors of complete response after chemoembolization for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma in 162 patients.

Aim Of The Study: To study clinical, laboratory and imaging features correlated with complete response (CR) to transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) in patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) through 162 patients collected in Hassan II University Hospital of Fez.

Material And Methods: From January 2015 to December 2019, 162 patients diagnosed with 225 HCC were treated by TACE. Among them, 14 showed CR during the follow-up.
