The clinical data of 56 AQP4 antibody-positive patients and 14 MOG antibody-positive patients in the Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University from June 2016 to June 2019 were collected. 92.9% of the patien...
Focal to bilateral motor seizures in temporal lobe epilepsy during video-EEG monitoring: effects on surgical outcome.
Published in Acta neurologica Belgica
The aim of this study was to determine whether the occurrence of focal to bilateral motor seizures in the course of partial drug withdrawal during video-EEG monitoring (FTBMS-M) had a predictive value for seizure recurrence in surgically treated patients with mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE). We analyzed the outcomes of 59 patients who underwen...
Drug-naïve Egyptian females with migraine are more prone to sexual dysfunction than those with tension-type headache: a ...
Published in Acta neurologica Belgica
Headache is one of the chronic disorders that can trigger sexual dysfunction due to complex mechanisms. This study recruited 120 consecutive patients from our outpatient clinics with migraine (n = 60), TTH (n = 60) as well as healthy age-matched controls (n = 60) for a total of 180 patients. All the participants were evaluated by the Arabic version...
Rare slow channel congenital myasthenic syndromes without repetitive compound muscle action potential and dramatic respo...
Published in Acta neurologica Belgica
Congenital myasthenic syndromes are rare hereditary disorders caused by mutations associated with proteins of the neuromuscular junction. Abnormal ''gain of function'' mutations result in prolonged nicotinic acetylcholine receptor channel open state causing a rare subtype of CMS, slow-channel CMS (SCCMS). Mutations in the delta subunit encoding the...
White matter changes from mild cognitive impairment to Alzheimer's disease: a meta-analysis.
Published in Acta neurologica Belgica
Previous diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) studies have reported that both mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and Alzheimer's disease (AD) revealed microstructural changes [fractional anisotropy (FA)]. However, these results were not conclusive. The purpose of this meta-analysis was to identify the consistent FA alterations and the differences between MC...
Comparative analysis of magnetic resonance imaging and pathological findings of microcystic meningioma and meningeal Ewi...
Published in Acta neurologica Belgica
Microcystic meningiomas (MCMs) and meningeal Ewing sarcoma/peripheral primitive neuroectodermal tumours (pPNETs) are difficult to differentiate because of the similarity in their image manifestation on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Differential diagnosis of these two tumours before surgery could contribute to ameliorating clinical decision-maki...

Since 2015, edaravone is the second drug available for the treatment of Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). In this study we analyzed the characteristics and experience of ALS patients treated with this new medication in our country. Sixteen ALS patients were treated with edaravone infusions in three ALS clinics. Most of them were male, had a spin...
Intraoperative fluorescein video angiography in intracranial aneurysm surgery: single-center, observational cohort study...
Published in Acta neurologica Belgica
The aim of this study was to compare the incidence of postoperative, surgery-related complications in patients where fluorescein video angiography (FL-VA) was performed with those operated without intraoperative verification. This is an observational cohort study including 97 patients who were selected for microsurgical clipping due to intracranial...
