Mashup Score: 70Teaching NeuroImage: Tigroid Appearance of Cerebellum on MRI in Lhermitte-Duclos Disease | Neurology - 23 hour(s) ago
A 35-year-old woman presented with progressive ataxia, vomiting, and dizziness for a month. A 3T brain MRI scan revealed an enlarged right cerebellar hemisphere (Figure). The tigroid appearance on T2-weighted images was strongly suggestive of Lhermitte-Duclos disease (LDD). Histopathologic examination revealed relatively preserved cerebellar architecture with dysplas tic ganglion cells of variable size without mitosis or necrosis. The patient had no other hamartomatous lesions. Without surgical resection,

Mashup Score: 7Teaching NeuroImage: Spontaneously Resolving Ring-Enhancing Lesions Due to Immunodeficiency-Associated CNS Lymphoma | Neurology - 1 day(s) ago
A 57-year-old woman with systemic lupus erythematosus on mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) presented after a tonic-clonic seizure. Brain MRI revealed 7 gadolinium-enhancing lesions (Figure 1A). CSF protein, glucose, and cell count were normal, and microbiological tests for opportunist agents were negative, raising our suspicion for lymphoma. Prebiopsy MRI showed spontaneous improvement of most lesions, with increased size of the largest lesion (Figure 1B). Brain biopsy (Figure 2) was consistent with immunodefici

Mashup Score: 144Ideomotor Apraxia and “Milky Way” Sign in Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy | Neurology - 2 day(s) ago
A 70-year-old woman presented with progressive right arm clumsiness for 1 month (e.g., trouble baking and playing guitar) without weakness or numbness. She had hepatitis C cirrhosis, localized hepatocellular carcinoma treated with radioembolization, and thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura treated with rituximab 1 year earlier. Neurologic examination revealed ideomotor apraxia (Video 1), 1 mild right astereognosis, and agraphesthesia. MRI brain showed a left frontoparietal T2/FLAIR-hyperintense lesion

Mashup Score: 15The More Things Change, the More They Stay the Same: Trends and Disparities In Long-Term Mortality After Stroke | Neurology® Journals - 2 day(s) ago
In the United States, stroke is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality, and its burden is not equally distributed across society. 1 Specifically, Black individuals have a much higher risk of incident stroke, and tend to develop strokes at younger ages. 2 Data on disparities in outcomes after stroke have been inconsistent. The increasing focus on guideline-directed care may have narrowed some racial disparities in outcomes over time. 3 In our paper, Temporal Trends and Racial Disparities in Long-Term
