摘要： AIM: To describe the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of the cervical spine of patients with mucopolysaccharidosis type VI (MPS VI) and correlate them with clinical manifestations. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This is a cross-sectional study involving 12 patients with MPS VI. A limited neurological examination was undertaken in each patient including Tinel's test, assessment of muscle tone, and the evaluation of deep tendon reflexes. Additionally, each patient underwent cervical spine MRI to evaluate platybasia, odontoid dysplasia, periodontoid soft-tissue thickening, spinal canal stenosis, myelopathy, basilar invagination, platyspondyly, and reduction of nasopharyngeal airway. RESULTS: Nine patients were male (75%). The average age was 12.5 (+/- 3.5 years). Tinel's test was negative in all patients. No muscle tone abnormalities were observed. Approximately 48% of the tested reflexes were considered abnormal, 10 of which (8.3%) were pathological occurring in five different patients (41.6%). At MRI, all patients showed periodontoid soft-tissue thickening and cervical spinal stenosis;six showed spinal cord compression and two showed myelopathy. Odontoid hypoplasia and basilar invagination were observed in nine patients. All patients with cervical stenosis on MRI had abnormal reflexes;however, only two of the six patients with evidence of cord compression on MRI had abnormal reflexes on clinical examination. CONCLUSIONS: The present study of 12 patients with MPS VI demonstrated that a normal neurological examination cannot confidently exclude potential cord compression in patients with this condition. MRI may aid in the timely identification of cervical spine abnormalities, and potentially play a role in lessening morbidity and mortality in patients with MPS.

摘要： Coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) is a highly transmissible viral infection caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which emerged in Wuhan, China and has since spread rapidly around the world. In addition to neurological symptoms accompanying the classical respiratory presentation of COVID-19, case reports and series have identified a wide range of acute clinical neurological syndromes which largely fall into three main categories: stroke, Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) and variants and meningoencephalitis/encephalopathy/encephalitis. Of the 19 patients with ischemic stroke, four patients died, six were still supported on an intensive care unit (ICU), one remained on a stroke unit, two were at a stroke rehabilitation facility and five made a good recovery. In a series of six patients from the UK, one patient had medium titre for IgM anticardiolipin antibodies and lupus anticoagulant was positive in five of six cases [[10]].

摘要： Balance impairment is a major mechanism behind falling along with environmental hazards. Under physiological conditions, ageing leads to a progressive decline in balance control per se. Moreover, various neurological disorders further increase the risk of falls by deteriorating specific nervous system functions contributing to balance. Over the last 15 years, significant advancements in technology have provided wearable solutions for balance evaluation and the management of postural instability in patients with neurological disorders. This narrative review aims to address the topic of balance and wireless sensors in several neurological disorders, including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, stroke, and other neurodegenerative and acute clinical syndromes. The review discusses the physiological and pathophysiological bases of balance in neurological disorders as well as the traditional and innovative instruments currently available for balance assessment. The technical and clinical perspectives of wearable technologies, as well as current challenges in the field of teleneurology, are also examined.

摘要： Following the COVID-19 outbreak, significant changes have been implemented on a national level in the organization of neurology units and associated stroke units. Regionally-designated COVID-19 hospitals have implemented an aggressive policy to relocate as many beds as possible to COVID-19 patients. In order to do so, the preferred strategy has been to reduce the number of beds in neurology units, and in some cases several units have been consolidated into one. In other cases, particularly in the northern regions, entire neurology units have been closed and converted into COVID-19 departments entrusted to other medical specialties. Some stroke units have followed the same path and become “hubs” and “spokes” for acute neurological pathology. In other situations, especially when it was necessary to meet the need for paramedical staff, the number of beds in neurology/stroke wards were significantly reduced and the nurses transferred to other units as needed to manage the COVID-19 emergency.

摘要： The diagnosis and management of vertigo remains a challenge for clinicians, including general neurology. In recent years there have been advances in the understanding of established vestibular syndromes, and the development of treatments for existing vestibular diagnoses. In this 'update' I will review how our understanding of previously "unexplained" dizziness in the elderly is changing, explore novel insights into the pathophysiology of vestibular migraine, and its relationship to the newly coined term 'persistent postural perceptual dizziness', and finally discuss how a simple bedside oculomotor assessment may help identify vestibular presentations of stroke.

摘要： Objectives: Neurological adverse effects (NAEs) induced by biotherapies have been reported in the literature mainly in adult patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), rheumatic diseases, or psoriasis. There are scant data in children. Aims of this study are to report and describe noninfective NAE associated with anti-TNF alpha antibodies in pediatric IBD, and to evaluate their incidence. Methods: We retrospectively collected all reports of NAE in pediatric IBD treated with anti-TNF alpha antibodies recorded in the French Pharmacovigilance Database. To estimate the national incidence of NAEs, we extrapolated data from the French regional inception population-based cohort EPIMAD. Results: Between 2000 and 2018, 231 adverse events in pediatric IBD exposed to anti-TNF alpha antibodies were reported to this Database. Seventeen NAEs (7.36%) were collected: 8 severe NAE (1 demyelinating neuropathy, 1 optic neuritis, 1 acute transverse myelitis, 1 polyradiculoneuritis, 1 sensorineural hearing loss, 1 seizure, 1 stroke, and 1 glioma), 7 moderate NAE (headaches), and 2 neuropsychic events. The median delay between anti-TNF alpha start and NAE occurrence was 6 months (range: 13 days to 26 months). In 10 of 17 patients, anti-TNF alpha antibodies were stopped. Nine of 17 patients had a complete resolution (including 2 severe NAE) and 8 of 17 a partial resolution (including 6 severe NAE). We estimate the incidence of severe NAE in pediatric IBD treated with anti-TNF alpha antibodies at 1 case for 10,000 patients-year in France. Conclusions: NAE associated with anti-TNF alpha antibodies in pediatric IBD are rare. In severe NAE, we recommend to discontinue anti-TNF alpha therapy and to consider alternative treatment.
