“…Our patient had classic symptoms of GBS that had been begun approximately two weak after respiratory tract infection with COVID-19. For the reason that this patient had a preceding infection history, relative symmetric limbs weakness with a monophasic course, we suggested GBS variant as a possible diagnosis [9]. Electrodiagnostic findings confirmed this disorder.…”

“…In our knowledge, up to now, no reported neuropathy and/or Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) due to COVID-19 infection. GBS is an acute immunemediated disease of the peripheral nerves and nerve roots (polyradiculoneuropathy) that is usually elicited by various infections [9]. The classic clinical manifestations of GBS is progressive, ascending, symmetrical flaccid limbs paralysis, along with areflexia or hyporeflexia and with or without cranial nerve involvement, which can progress over the course of days to several weeks [9].…”

The classic clinical manifestations of GBS is progressive, ascending, symmetrical flaccid limbs paralysis, along with areflexia or hyporeflexia and with or without cranial nerve involvement, which can progress over the course of days to several weeks [9]. Two-thirds of patients usually report respiratory tract or gastrointestinal infection 2-4 weeks prior to the onset of neurological symptoms of GBS (10).…”

Novel outbreak with coronavirus 2019 began since 31 December 2019. Coronaviruses can cause multiple systemic infections that respiratory complications are the most obvious symptoms. In this report, we describe the symptoms of Guillain Barre syndrome (GBS) in one infected patient with COVID-19, for the first time. We reported a 65-years-old male patient with complaints of acute progressive symmetric ascending quadriparesis. Two weeks prior to hospitalization, the patient suffered from cough, fever, and RT-PCR was reported positive for COVID-19 infection. The electrodiagnostic test showed that the patient is an AMSAN variant of GBS. COVID-19 stimulates inflammatory cells and produces various inflammatory cytokines and as a result, it creates immune-mediated processes. GBS is an immune-mediated disorder and molecular mimicry as a mechanism of autoimmune disorder plays an important role in creating it. It is unclear whether COVID-19 induces the production of antibodies against specific gangliosides. Further investigations should be conducted about the mechanism of GBS in patients with COVID-19, in the future.

Background: Individuals with Sturge-Weber syndrome (SWS) often expereince intractable epilepsy and cognitive decline. We hypothesized that the extent of the leptomeningeal capillary malformation (LCM) may correlate with the severity of neurological impairment due to SWS. We tested the hypothesis in a cross-sectional study of seizure severity and electroencephalographic (EEG) findings and a retrospective cohort study for surgical indications related to the extent of the LCM. Methods: We enrolled 112 patients and classified them according to LCM distribution: (1) bilateral, (2) hemispheric, (3) multilobar, and (4) single lobe. Age at seizure onset, seizure semiology and frequency, and EEG findings were compared. Surgical indications were evaluated for each group by Fisher exact test, and predictors for surgery were evaluated by univariate and multivariate analyses. Therapeutic efficacy was evaluated by the SWS-Neurological Score (SWS-NS). Results: The bilateral and hemispheric groups had early seizure onset (4.0 months old and 3.0 months old), frequent seizures (88.9% and 80.6% had more than one per month), focal-to-bilateral tonic-clonic seizures (88.9% and 74.2%), and status epilepticus (100% and 87.1%). The groups' EEG findings did not differ substantially. Surgical indications were present in 77.8% of the bilateral, 88.1% of the hemispheric, and 46.8% of the multilobar groups. Seizure more than once per month was a predictor of surgical treatment. Seizure subscore improved postoperatively in the hemispheric and multilobar groups. Even after surgical treatment, the bilateral and hemispheric groups exhibited higher SWS-NSs than members of the other groups. Conclusion: Our study demonstrated a strong association between extensive LCM and epilepsy severity. Surgical intervention improved seizure outcome in patients with SWS with large LCMs.

Asymetria półkul mózgu jest zjawiskiem fizjologicznym, a dominacja jednej ze stron, zwłaszcza czynnościowa, jest szczególnie wyraźna w sferze funkcji poznawczych. W odróżnieniu do fizjologicznej, w patologicznej nierówności półkul mózgowych występują znaczne różnice w budowie anatomicznej i histologicznej oraz pojawiają się objawy takie jak niedowłady, napady padaczkowe, zaburzenia funkcji poznawczych czy zaburzenia ruchowe. W artykule przedstawiono wybrane zespoły powiązane z asymetrią półkul mózgu, dokonano klasyfikacji ze względu na etiologię oraz przebieg (na postępujące i niepostępujące), przedstawiono ich kliniczną oraz radiologiczną charakterystykę.
