We report a case of IEC evolving into squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) 1-year post-resection. Further, we conducted a systematic review on cases of early malignant transformations of IECs. Methods: MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Scopus were searched from inception until December 2023 for studies reporting malignant transformations of IECs within 2 years of diagnosis. Results: A 48-year-old female underwent surgical resection of a cerebellopontine angle (CPA) IEC in May 2022. She re-presented in July 2023 with headaches, nausea, vomiting, right facial weakness, and rapid cyst progression. Repeat surgical resection revealed a high-grade SCC. Our systematic review identified 19 (10 females, 9 males) additional IEC cases undergoing malignant transformation within 2 years. The mean age at presentation was 57.6 years, most common location was CPA (n=13, 68.4%) and mean time between IEC to malignant transformation was 10.6 months. Eighteen (94.7%) cases transformed to SCC, of which 2 had leptomeningeal carcinomatosis, and 1 transformed to glioblastoma. Conclusions: While malignant transformations of IECs are rare, regular postoperative follow-up is crucial for early malignancy detection and treatment initiation. Further study is warranted to evaluate factors contributing to accelerated malignant progression of IECs.","PeriodicalId":9571,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal of Neurological Sciences / Journal Canadien des Sciences Neurologiques","volume":"23 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141099900","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The estimated population with NF1 in BC was determined. A working group consisting of neuromuscular neurology, pediatric neuro-oncology, adult neuro-oncology, and medical genetics identified gaps in care. Results: Approximately 2200 adult individuals with NF1 are estimated to live in BC. A three-prong approach to address identified gaps was developed: A quarterly multidisciplinary NF Case Conference was initiated. The initial session was attended by 18 providers. Focus groups for patients and providers to enhance understanding of both perspectives are being conducted. Informed by the focus groups, an NF1 Care Pathway for BC will be developed. Conclusions: Advances in treatment for NF1 prompted the formation of the BC NF Working Group to develop a strategy to improve longitudinal, multidisciplinary care.

There are few studies assessing resection and morbidity and no large studies that document hearing preservation and quality of life (QOL). We present the first large series to do so. Methods: A retrospective review was performed of all PLPA cases between 2005 and 2023 at a tertiary center. Demographics, tumor characteristics, neuromonitoring, hearing and surgical outcomes were collected. QOL was measured with the 36-item short form survey (SF-36). Results: Of 73 PLPAs, data for 56 patients undergoing 57 surgeries was obtained. Petroclival meningioma (57.8%) and epidermoid tumors (21.0%) were common indications . The mean patient age and tumor size were 51.6 years and 44mm. Gross total resection was achieved in 40.3%, near total in 15.8% and subtotal in 43.8% of cases with no perioperative mortality and was not influenced by attempted hearing preservation (p=0.183). Of 39 hearing preservation cases, 27 (69.2%) were preserved, 10 (25.6%) were lost and 2 had unclear outcomes.

We assessed cost-effectiveness of efgartigimod vs chronic IVIg for adult patients with AChR-Ab+ gMG. Methods: A Markov model estimated costs (treatment and administration, disease monitoring, complications from chronic corticosteroid use, exacerbation and crisis management, adverse events, end-of-life care) and benefits (quality-adjusted life-years [QALYs]). The analysis was conducted from the Canadian healthcare system perspective. Health state transition probabilities were estimated using data from ADAPT, ADAPT+, and a network meta-analysis comparing efgartigimod with chronic IVIg. Utility values were obtained from MyRealWorld MG. Patients with MG-ADL ≥5 who did not die/discontinue were assumed to receive treatment every 4 weeks or every 3 weeks over the lifetime horizon. Results: Over the lifetime horizon, efgartigimod and chronic IVIg were predicted to have total discounted QALYs of 16.80 and 13.35, and total discounted costs of $1,913,294 and $2,170,315, respectively. Efgartigimod dominated chronic IVIg with incremental QALYs of 3.45 and cost savings of $257,020 over the lifetime horizon.

We hypothesized distinct NPS trajectories in FTD progression among carriers of chromosome 9 open reading frame 72 (C9orf72), progranulin (GRN), and microtubule-associated protein tau (MAPT) mutations. Methods: We analyzed 1662 participants from ALLFTD, including 342 C9orf72, 148 GRN, 168 MAPT mutation carriers, and 1004 noncarriers. We categorized participants into four stages based on CDR plus NACC FTLD global scores: 1) Presymptomatic (consistent CDR=0), 2) Early conversion (CDR increasing from 0 to 0.5), 3) Advanced conversion (CDR increasing from 0.5 to ≥1.0), and 4) Symptomatic (CDR>1.0). The Neuropsychiatric Inventory-Questionnaire (NPI-Q) assessed NPS changes, analyzed using a mixed-effects model, accounting for age and baseline scores. Results: Our results indicated similar NPS trajectories in the presymptomatic stage for all groups. Notably, during early conversion, C9orf72 and GRN carriers exhibited significantly higher NPI-Q score increases than MAPT carriers, primarily in psychosis and hyperactivity domains. In later stages, increases in NPS were similar across groups. Conclusions: This study suggests familial FTD progression, particularly in TDP-43 pathology, may involve more severe NPS like psychosis or hyperactivity, differing from tau pathology or sporadic FTD. Further research is needed to explore these distinct trajectories.","PeriodicalId":9571,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal of Neurological Sciences / Journal Canadien des Sciences Neurologiques","volume":"4 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141101268","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While often beneficial, uncontrolled inflammation can lead to secondary neurologic injuries and interfere with repair mechanisms. Methods: A prospective cohort study was initiated at Alberta Children’s Hospital to evaluate neuroinflammation in children admitted to the PICU. Forty-eight cytokines, chemokines and growth factors collected at multiple pre-determined timepoints were analyzed along with data on clinical trajectory. Preliminary exploratory analyses of patients enrolled January 2022-July 2023 were completed. Results: Fifty-three patients were included in the initial analysis. Encephalopathy (18.9%), hypoxia (17%) and TBI (15.1%) were the most common reasons for enrollment. All groups had temporal alterations in serum cytokines, with primary inflammatory brain diseases having the highest levels of innate inflammation (cytokine storm) on admission and day one compared to other subgroups. There was a trend towards normalization of cytokine levels over time. Conclusions: Temporal profiling of cytokine levels can inform on neuroinflammatory pathways contributing to the clinical course in critically ill children. Further analysis is ongoing with the entire cohort to evaluate longitudinal and between-group differences. Improved understanding of altered neuroinflammatory pathways in this population may assist with rationalizing targeted immunotherapies to improve outcomes.","PeriodicalId":9571,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal of Neurological Sciences / Journal Canadien des Sciences Neurologiques","volume":"7 36","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141099023","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While not always symptomatic, TFV can lead to compression of the cerebellum and brainstem, with potential for serious consequences. Treatment of TFV can be challenging, with options including CSF diversion via shunts versus open or endoscopic fenestrations. In this report, we describe a case of TFV that was managed endoscopically. Methods: A seven-year-old girl with a history of myelomeningocele and hydrocephalus, presented with a change in neurological status. Imaging of the brain and spine showed syringomyelia, markedly dilated ventricles, and a TFV. An endoscopic approach was used to fenestrate the wall of the fourth ventricle. Results: While there was an early favorable outcome, the first fenestration closed over within one month, requiring a repeat endoscopic fenestration. Both procedures were complicated by transient seizures, requiring a pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) admission after the second intervention. Pre- and post-operative clinical and diagnostic imaging findings are reported. Conclusions: Endoscopic fenestration can be an effective treatment option for management of TFV. The patient, family, and treating team should be prepared to deal with acute peri-operative complications that may require PICU management.","PeriodicalId":9571,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal of Neurological Sciences / Journal Canadien des Sciences Neurologiques","volume":"1 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141099239","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the precise impact of preoperative corticosteroid on accuracy of PCNSL diagnosis using tissue obtained from open or stereotactic biopsies remains debated. Methods: We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to determine the effect of preoperative corticosteroids on non-diagnostic biopsy rates for PCNSL in immunocompetent adults. Subgroup analyses explored whether non-diagnostic rates varied based on biopsy type. Results: Nineteen studies, comprising 1226 patients (55% male; mean age: 60.3 years), of which 679 (55.4%) received corticosteroids prior to biopsy were included. Overall, patients pretreated with corticosteroids were two times more likely to have a non-diagnostic biopsy compared to patients that were corticosteroid-naïve prior to biopsy (RR = 2.1 [95% CI: 1.1-4.1]). In the subgroup analysis limited to stereotactic biopsies, patient pretreated with corticosteroids were three times more likely to have a non-diagnostic biopsy (RR = 3.0 [95% CI: 1.2-7.5]). Whereas, in the open biopsy subgroup, there was no significant difference in non-diagnostic rates. Conclusions: Corticosteroids should be withheld, if clinically safe, prior to stereotactic biopsies in cases of suspected PCNSL. If corticosteroids are administered preoperatively, an open biopsy should be considered instead of stereotactic biopsy.","PeriodicalId":9571,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal of Neurological Sciences / Journal Canadien des Sciences Neurologiques","volume":"66 24","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141101662","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
