The aetiology of phrenic neuropathy is often unknown, but immune mechanisms may play a role. In a typical case of bilateral phrenic neuropathy with paradoxical breathing (video), an inflammatory pathogenesis was suggested by prolonged distal latency...

Objective: Meningiomas represent the most common intracranial extraaxial neoplasia in adults, accounting for a third of all diagnosed primary tumors of the brain. Despite decades of research, relatively little data on demographics of meningiomas exis...

In this issue of Clinical and Translational Neuroscience (CTN), a new section is introduced, which focuses on diagnostic errors in medicine, the circumstances under which they have arisen and—most importantly—how to avoid such errors in the future [...]

In the initial assessment of the patient with acute vertigo or dizziness, both structured history-taking and a targeted bedside neuro-otological examination are essential for distinguishing potentially life-threatening central vestibular causes from...

In great part due to recent advances in medical technology, ischemic cerebral stroke has become an increasingly treatable condition, which requires urgent measures and which rely on pharmacological and/or interventional measures. Due to its high prev...

Fulgence Raymond (1844–1910) succeeded Jean-Martin Charcot (1825–1893) to the Chair of Nervous System Diseases. As famous as Charcot remains, Raymond has been forgotten. After a brief biographical account, we will present a few examples of his work s...

Neurorehabilitation is a rapidly developing subspecialty of neurology due to medical advances and growing knowledge on functional recovery from brain injury such as plasticity and regeneration in the nervous system. Furthermore, progress in modern te...

This clinical vignette describes the interdisciplinary diagnostic approach to a patient with cystic brain lesions. The scope of this case is to develop the clinical reasoning skills of trainees in clinical neuroscience, taking into account alternativ...

We report the case of a 58-year-old Caucasian woman who presented with a subacute cerebellar syndrome accompanied by disturbance of the hypothalamic–pituitary axis and was diagnosed with isolated neurosarcoidosis based on radiological findings includ...

Positron emission tomography (PET) has a long history in the assessment of brain physiology and pathology; however, its initial use was limited to more academic and scientific settings. This changed radically with the clinical introduction of PET–com...
