In patients with swollen optic nerve head and normal visual function, optic disc drusen (ODD) is the most common diagnosis. The best tests for detecting ODD are funds autofluorescence and enhanced-depth imaging ocular coherence tomography (EDIOCT). After ODD has been ruled out, asymmetric papilledema should be assumed to be the cause and MRI of the brain and orbits with contrast and venography should be performed in all patients.

Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage is caused by intracranial aneurysm (IA) rupture and results in high rates of mortality and morbidity. Factors contributing to IA generation, growth and rupture can involve genetics, injury, hemodynamics, environmental factors, and inflammation, in which inflammatory factors are believed to play central roles in the whole natural history.

Spinocerebellar ataxias (SCAs) are a group of dominantly-inherited cerebellar ataxias, among which CAG expansion-related SCAs are most common. These diseases have very high penetrance with defined disease progression, and emerging therapies are being developed to provide either symptomatic or disease-modifying benefits.

To minimize the risk of Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy and rebound in JCV-positive multiple sclerosis (MS) patients after 24 natalizumab doses, it has been proposed to extend the administrations interval. The objective is to evaluate the EID efficacy on MRI activity compared with the standard interval dosing (SID).

Lafora disease (LD) is characterized by progressive myoclonus, refractory epilepsy, and cognitive deterioration. This complex neurodegenerative condition is caused by pathogenic variants in EPM2A/EPM2B genes, encoding two essential glycogen metabolism enzymes known as laforin and malin. Long-term follow-up data are lacking. We describe the clinical features and genetic findings of a cohort of 26 Italian patients with a long clinical follow-up.

Muscle phosphorylase kinase b deficiency (PhK) is a rare disorder of glycogen metabolism characterized by exercise-induced myalgia and cramps, myoglobinuria and progressive muscle weakness. PhK deficiency is due to mutations in the PHKA1 gene inherited in an X-linked manner and is associated to glycogenosis type VIII (GSD VIII also called GSD IXd). PHKA1 gene codes for the ?M subunit of the PhK, a multimeric protein complex responsible for the control of glycogen breakdown in muscle.

Descriptions of sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (sCJD) in non-White populations are limited. Improved understanding may aid diagnoses and case ascertainment within surveillance programmes. We aimed to: 1) Ascertain the proportion of sCJD cases with non-White ethnicity in the United Kingdom (UK); 2) Compare clinical and investigation findings between non-White and White cases.

Several Lyssaviruses are known to be a causative agent of rabies and rabies like syndrome. There are no proven effective treatment strategies for symptomatic rabies patient. Risk of infection from dog variant of rabies virus is highest with deep bite reaching muscular layer and much higher when compared to scratch. Failure of viral eradication at the central nervous system (CNS) is partly due to inadequate immune response.

Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy has become an indispensable tool in the treatment of advanced malignancy, however, it is associated with significant neurologic toxicity. The pathophysiology of CAR T-cell associated neurotoxicity is incompletely understood, and the specific risk factors have only recently begun to be characterized.

Rheumatological diseases result in immune-mediated injury to not only connective tissue, but often components of the peripheral nervous system. These overlap conditions can be broadly categorized as peripheral neuropathies and overlap myositis. The peripheral neuropathies are distinctive as many have unusual presentations such as non-length-dependent, small fiber neuropathies and sensory neuronopathies (both due to dorsal root ganglia dysfunction), multiple mononeuropathies (e.g. vasculitic neuropathies), and even cranial neuropathies.

Neurological autoimmunity is increasingly recognized as a complication of immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) cancer immunotherapy. ICIs act by enhancing endogenous anti-tumor immune responses and can also lead to autoimmunity affecting all organs. ICI-related neurological autoimmunity is rare, most often manifests with neuromuscular involvement and more rarely affects the central nervous system.

Inflammatory cerebral amyloid angiopathy is a largely reversible inflammatory vasculopathy that develops in an acute or subacute fashion in reaction to amyloid protein deposition in the central nervous system blood vessels. There are two recognized pathologically characterized variants: cerebral amyloid angiopathy-related inflammation (CAAri) and A beta-related angiitis (ABRA). Both variants produce a clinical picture that resembles primary angiitis of the CNS but is distinguished by a characteristic radiologic appearance.

Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) are chronic inflammatory conditions affecting the digestive system, comprising two main distinctive entities, ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD). Besides gastrointestinal manifestations, IBD causes extraintestinal manifestations in the central and peripheral nervous system. The incidence of neurological complications in IBD ranges from 0.25% to 47.5%.
