Dioscorea dumetorum is the bitter yam species found mainly in our locality. Bitter yam when undercooked can cause encephalopathy with patients presenting mainly with altered sensorium and convulsions. The cases reported here are unique because of their rarity and favourable response to supportive treatment, and they also serve to add to the existing literature on this potentially reversible cause of acute encephalopathy. Method: We report two adult male patients who presented to our facility 2 months apart with multiple convulsions and unconsciousness shortly after ingestion of undercooked bitter yam. A diagnosis of generalized convulsive status epilepticus and acute repetitive seizures secondary to bitter yam poisoning was made, respectively, and they were managed successfully with intravenous phenytoin and both made a complete recovery. Conclusion: These cases highlight the need for more awareness among clinicians regarding the neurological manifestations of bitter yam toxicity when poorly prepared and also for education of the public on preventive measures.","PeriodicalId":9615,"journal":{"name":"Case Reports in Neurological Medicine","volume":"2025 ","pages":"8809567"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2025-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12494463/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145231696","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Foix-Chavany-Marie syndrome) is a rare neurological condition, described as a paralysis of the mouth and tongue usually caused by a bilateral lesion of the frontal opercular area. The patient presents with speaking, chewing, and swallowing impairment, but autonomic and emotional functions-like smiling and yawning-are typically preserved. We present our patient's clinical data after critical analysis, together with a brief literature review about anterior opercular syndrome caused by unilateral opercular lesions. To our knowledge, less than 20 cases of anterior opercular syndrome caused by unilateral lesions are described in the literature. In some patients, a contralateral lesion can be detected on brain imaging in regions different from the anterior opercular cortex. This syndrome can rarely occur as a consequence of unilateral opercular cortex damage. The possible role of contralateral lesions located in neuronal pathways functionally related to the anterior operculum requires further investigation.","PeriodicalId":9615,"journal":{"name":"Case Reports in Neurological Medicine","volume":"2025 ","pages":"9136610"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2025-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12488295/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145211967","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The phenomenon is well-described following coronary angiography but reports following endovascular neurointerventional procedures are sparse. This study aims to describe the clinical presentation, treatment and outcome of CIE in a tertiary metropolitan hospital in South Australia. Methods: This study describes a case series of 3 patients diagnosed with CIE following cerebral angiography within a 1-year period in a tertiary hospital. Results: All patients developed slowly progressive (and/or new) focal or global neurological deficits 2-7 h postprocedure and exhibited characteristic neuroimaging findings. Two of three patients made an excellent recovery with supportive care, improving after 48-72 h, although one died due to the severity of her associated stroke. Conclusion: CIE should be suspected in patients presenting with acute neurological deterioration following cerebral angiography. Supportive care may lead to full recovery. Multicentre prospective cohort studies are required to better define associations, diagnostic criteria and interventions to prevent and/or treat this condition.","PeriodicalId":9615,"journal":{"name":"Case Reports in Neurological Medicine","volume":"2025 ","pages":"4384841"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2025-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12457064/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145136788","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There is still a lack of knowledge regarding the efficacy and timing of high-technology (HT) rehabilitation in this clinical population. This paper describes the rehabilitation of a 56-year-old Caucasian woman who developed sABI due to the spontaneous rupture of multiple left middle cerebral artery aneurysms. The focus is on the interconnection between cognitive resources and motor-cognitive abilities to implement HT rehabilitation as early as possible, aiming to maximize the restoration of both motor and cognitive deficits. Following the acute clinical phase, the patient underwent an intensive multidisciplinary rehabilitation, which is described in this paper. The main target was the superior limb training with HT using an upper limb exoskeleton and augmented feedback exercises. The rehabilitative exercises have been selected and timed according to the neuropsychological assessment. The patient showed progressive cognitive and upper limb motor recovery along the tailored rehabilitative path. This case study provides useful insights into the value of a customized motor-cognitive HT rehabilitative approach, allowing for the best possible functional outcome in a case of sABI.","PeriodicalId":9615,"journal":{"name":"Case Reports in Neurological Medicine","volume":"2025 ","pages":"5311669"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2025-09-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12433737/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145069079","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We present a case of severe myelitis in a 76-year-old man with positive anti-recoverin antibodies that occurred one week after RSVPreF3 vaccination against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). The patient presented with severe spastic paraparesis, urinary retention, postural tremor of the upper extremities, hypesthesia, severely impaired proprioception and vibration sense in the lower extremities, and tonic spasms of the lower extremities. An MRI of the spine revealed a C3-T9 LETM, with inflammatory cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). The patient was found to have positive anti-recoverin antibodies in serum and CSF. While the patient had an initial improvement on high-dose intravenous steroids, he failed to respond to plasmapheresis. Subsequently, he received intravenous immunoglobulins with mild improvement of his symptoms. The patient's symptoms could be attributed to vaccine-induced inflammatory syndrome. The relationship between anti-recoverin antibodies and central nervous system involvement is likely due to the sharing of epitopes between recoverin and endogenous antigens of the central nervous system. The association between RSV vaccination and LETM has not been previously reported.","PeriodicalId":9615,"journal":{"name":"Case Reports in Neurological Medicine","volume":"2025 ","pages":"6597450"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2025-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12413940/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145013957","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
