ABSTRACT: In paraneoplastic cerebellar degeneration (PCD), the standard diagnostic workup might be inconclusive, especially in seronegative subtypes. Brain 18F-FDG PET is an accurate supportive diagnostic tool in immune-mediated disorders, but findings in PCD are controversial. Semiquantitative analysis of 18F-FDG PET can meaningfully assist...

An 82-year-old man presented with 2-year lasting widespread muscular fasciculations, cramps, and limb stiffness, with spontaneous movements in the right lower limb, unsteady gait (Video 1), and falls. Neurophysiologic studies disclosed signs of neuromuscular hyperexcitability. CSF analysis showed high tau protein concentration (543 pg/mL;...

Background: Although myelin-oligodendrocyte-glycoprotein (MOG)-antibody-associated disease (MOGAD) has been considered a more favorable demyelinating central nervous system disorder, recent data evidence that some patients might experience severe relapses and high disability. Actual treatment-options are acquired mostly from...

Several cases of adverse reactions following vaccination for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) with adenoviral vector vaccines or mRNA-based vaccines have been reported to date. The underlying syndrome has been named "vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia" (VITT) or "thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome (TTS)" with different...

Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) is an autoimmune neurological disorder often preceded by viral illnesses or, more rarely, vaccinations. We report on a unique combination of postcoronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine GBS that occurred months after a parainfectious COVID-19-related GBS. Shortly after manifesting COVID-19 symptoms, a...

Background and purpose: Guillain-Barre '-Syndrome (GBS) can follow COVID-19 vaccination, with clinical and paraclinical features still to be precisely assessed. We describe a cohort of patients who developed GBS after vaccination with different types of COVID-19 vaccines. Methods: Patients with post-COVID-19 vaccination GBS, admitted to the six...

Symptoms referable to central and peripheral nervous system involvement are often evident both during the acute phase of COVID-19 infection and during long-COVID. In this study, we evaluated a population of patients with prior COVID-19 infection who showed signs and symptoms consistent with neurological long-COVID.

Objectives A few variants of chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP) have been described, but their frequency and evolution to typical CIDP remain unclear. To determine the frequency and characteristics of the CIDP variants, their possible evolution to typical CIDP, and treatment response. Methods We applied a set of...
