INTRODUCTION: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a heterogenous, devastating autoimmune inflammatory disease with multiorgan involvement. A variety of neurological and psychiatric symptoms may be caused by nervous system involvement, termed neuropsychiatric systemic lupus erythematosus. CASE REPORT: We describe a young man newly diagnosed with SLE who had a stroke as an initial symptom and was found to have cerebral large-vessel vasculitis and Fahr syndrome. CONCLUSIONS: The novelties of this report are the extensive cerebral calcification demonstrated on head computerized tomography in a patient with SLE, and the depiction of an underlying vasculitis on high-resolution magnetic resonance vessel wall imaging...

BACKGROUND: The safety and efficacy of intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) in acute ischemic stroke patients with large vessel occlusions and mild neurological deficits are controversial. METHODS: Data of stroke patients presenting with mild initial stroke, which was defined as the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score (NIHSS) ≤5 and large vessel occlusion, were extracted from a large provincewide stroke registry. RESULTS: A total of 619 IVT and 2170 non-IVT patients were identified in this study...

BACKGROUND: The tongue is an essential organ for the development of certain crucial functions, such as swallowing and language. The examination of the tongue can be very useful in neurology, as the various types of lingual alterations can lead to certain specific diagnoses, the tongue being a kind of "mirror" of some neurological function. REVIEW SUMMARY: In this study, we reviewed the literature on anatomy, physiology, and the various aspects of the examination of the tongue...

BACKGROUND: The tongue is an essential organ for the development of certain crucial functions such as swallowing and speech. The examination of the tongue can be very useful in neurology, as the various types of lingual alterations can lead to certain specific diagnoses, the tongue being a kind of 'mirror' of some neurological function. REVIEW SUMMARY: To discuss the elements of clinical examination of the tongue in relation to neurological disorders. After reviewing the different superficial lesions of the tongue, we deal with various movement disorders of the tongue (fasciculations/myokimia, orolingual tremor, choreic movements of the tongue, dystonia of the tongue, lingual myoclonus, and psychogenic movements), disorders of taste and lingual sensitivity and lingual pain...

OBJECTIVES: The objective of this study was to develop and validate a predictive model for the risk of poor neurological status in in-hospital patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) after intravenous thrombolysis. METHODS: This 2-center retrospective study included patients with AIS treated at the Advanced Stroke Center of the Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University and Baoding No.1 Central Hospital between January 2018 and January 2020). The neurological function status at day 7 of AIS onset was used as the endpoint of the study, which was evaluated using the National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score...

INTRODUCTION: Sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (sCJD) is a fatal neurodegenerative condition caused by prion proteins. Cortical and subcortical diffusion-weighted imaging restriction on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is associated with sCJD. Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) results from impaired vessel autoregulation due to an identifiable trigger, which is associated with subcortical fluid-attenuated inversion recovery changes on MRI. We report a case of sCJD initially presenting with PRES...

INTRODUCTION: We report a rare case of moyamoya disease caused by an RNF213 mutation, complicated with systemic lupus erythematosus. CASE REPORT: A 32-year-old woman experienced 4 cerebral ischemia stroke events within 6 months. The main symptom was left limb weakness with blurred vision in the right eye. Results of digital subtraction angiography conducted at another hospital were consistent with moyamoya disease. On genetic testing, we found that the patient carried 2 mutations in the moyamoya disease-related gene RNF213 (p...

BACKGROUND: Ischemic stroke, a severe disease with high disability and mortality, causes an overburden in society and demands more effective treatments. Early rehabilitation and nursing intervention (ERNI) helps the postoperative recovery of patients with hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage. However, the effect of ERNI on the recovery of people after ischemic stroke remains unclear. METHODS: Patients were treated with the ERNI program; subsequently, Mini-Mental State Examination, National Institute of Health stroke scale, Fugl-Meyer Assessment Scale, Daily living activity assessment, and Quality of life test were performed after the treatment of ERNI to evaluate the influence of ERNI on the cognitive function, motor function, and life quality of patients after ischemic stroke...

INTRODUCTION: Mutations in type IV collagen gene COL4A1 are identified as a cause of autosomal dominant cerebrovascular disease. We report an unusual late-onset presentation. CASE REPORT: A 64-year-old male was found to have an ischemic stroke and diffuse white matter changes. Genetic testing revealed COL4A1 gene mutation of heterozygous Alu insertion at intron 16. Alu elements are known as "jumping genes," and Alu insertion is not previously reported in COL4A1 genetic syndromes...

INTRODUCTION: Fanconi anemia (FA) is an inherited condition associated with genetic mutations that affect DNA repair proteins. More than 20 genes involved in the FA/BRCA pathway have been implicated in FA, including BRIP1. Tumefactive brain lesions are rare in FA. CASE REPORT: We describe a patient with FA and recurrent tumefactive brain lesions preceded by calcifications on head computed tomography. A biopsy revealed white-matter gliosis with severe vasculopathy...

BACKGROUND: Patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (sICH) are at high risk for venous thromboembolism (VTE). The administration of mechanical and pharmacological VTE prophylaxis after sICH is important but challenging. The safety and efficacy of the optimal anticoagulant dose, timing, and type of VTE chemoprophylaxis in cases of sICH are still unclear, and clinicians are concerned that it may lead to cerebral hematoma expansion, which is associated with poor prognosis. Through this literature review, we aim to summarize the latest guidelines, recommendations, and clinical research progress to support evidence-based treatment strategies...
