To be consistent with a diagnosis of TIA or stroke, a focal neurologic deficit must have occurred suddenly. The differential diagnosis of TIA includes migraine aura (possibly without a headache), a hypotensive episode, radiculopathy, and an unusual seizure. Vascular risk factors (eg, hypertension,
METHODS
Survey/case series.
OBJECTIVE
To survey pain physicians about neurologic infarctions following cervical transforaminal epidural steroid injections (TF-ESIs).
BACKGROUND
Cervical TF-ESIs are commonly performed in patients with cervical radiculopathy, although there are no randomized
In 1982, the Centers for Disease Control, the Food and Drug Administration, and the manufacturer created a surveillance system to monitor spontaneous reports of adverse events occurring after inoculation with the new plasma-derived hepatitis B vaccine (Heptavax-B, Merck Sharp and Dohme, West Point,
The case of a patient with cerebral vasculitis with a right thalamic infarct associated with cerebral spinal fluid Lyme disease is presented. This entity has not been described in the United States, and only one similar case in the world literature could be found. The patient presented with a
Hypereosinophilic syndrome is a rare disorder of the hematopoietic system. The disease is characterized by continuously high number of eosinophils (>1.5 x 10(9)/L) for more than six months. Other possible causes of hypereosinophilia, such as allergic and parasitic diseases, malignant disease,
Primary angiitis of the central nervous system (PACNS) is a form of vasculitis restricted to the CNS. Most patients with PACNS present with focal neurologic deficits suggesting stroke or with a syndrome of headache and confusion. Less commonly, seizures, dementia, cranial neuropathies, myelopathies
Extracranial metastasis of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is rare, but has recently been reported with increasing frequency. GBM metastases typically present after a biopsy or resection of the primary tumor. An otherwise healthy 54year-old woman presented with recurring pleural effusions originally
The authors report a case of dengue fever presenting with aseptic meningoencephalitis and developing subdural haematoma and pure motor quadriparesis due to axonal polyneuropathy. This 27-year-old female patient presented to us during the latter part of the dengue epidemic in India in 2010. She had

This study documents five patients with neurological disease associated with evidence of recent Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection. Four patients had encephalitis associated with coma. Two of these had hemiparesis (one with dysphasia), one had seizures, and one had cerebellar and brainstem involvement.
OBJECTIVE
Evaluation of demonstrated clinical efficacy of magnetic resonance (MR) imaging in the central nervous system.
METHODS

OBJECTIVE
To determine some of the neuropsychiatric manifestations of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) by applying multimodal neurophysiological and psychometric studies.
METHODS
Twenty-six SLE patients were evaluated for neurological and psychiatric disorders and compared with 26 healthy controls
