Understanding Persistent Bilateral Vocal Cord Paralysis After Unilateral Basal Ganglia Hemorrhage
Introduction: In this case report, we explore a rare complication following a hemorrhagic stroke: persistent bilateral vocal cord paralysis. The condition is often overshadowed by other post-stroke challenges, but its impact on patient health is profound. This article examines the complex neural connections leading to vocal cord dysfunction and offers a deeper understanding of how…

Understanding Intracranial Pressure The Role of Cerebral Artery Wedge Pressure
Introduction:Intracranial pressure (ICP) regulation remains a critical aspect of neurological health. A recent study explores a novel mechanism to explain increased ICP—cerebral artery wedge pressure. This finding could reshape our understanding of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) dynamics and venous drainage. Visit https://www.cardiologymedjournal.com/jccm for more groundbreaking research on this topic. Key Findings from the Study: External Perspectives…

Antithrombotic Therapy in Stroke Patients
Introduction:Ischemic stroke remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, with cardioembolic strokes accounting for a significant portion of cases. Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) plays a crucial role in detecting cardiac sources of embolism, guiding effective secondary stroke prevention. A recent study explores the impact of TEE findings on the readjustment of antithrombotic therapy in…

Understanding Jaw Subluxation as a Complication of Tardive Dyskinesia
Introduction: Tardive Dyskinesia (TD) is a serious movement disorder that can arise as a side effect of antipsychotic medications, affecting patients’ quality of life. In rare cases, TD can lead to complications such as jaw subluxation, causing pain and functional impairment. This article explores a recent case study on TD-induced jaw subluxation and its clinical…

Olfactory Dysfunction in Sports Players Following Moderate and Severe Head Injury: A Possible Cut-off from Normality to Pathology
Introduction: Concussions frequently occur in various sports, and traumatic brain injury (TBI) can lead to temporary or chronic olfactory dysfunction. The relationship between sports-related concussions and olfactory impairment remains underexplored. This study examines whether the severity of a concussion—moderate vs. severe—can determine the likelihood of olfactory dysfunction.

Complete Recovery of Chronic Osmotic Demyelination Syndrome with Plasma Exchange
Introduction Osmotic Demyelination Syndrome (ODS), formerly known as Central Pontine Myelinolysis (CPM), is a rare but serious neurological condition caused by the rapid correction of chronic hyponatremia. It can lead to severe neurological deficits, including dysarthria, dysphagia, quadriparesis, seizures, and coma. Traditionally considered irreversible, recent medical advancements suggest that Plasma Exchange (PE) may offer a…

Posterior Reversible Leukoencephalopathy Syndrome After Rituximab A Rare but Severe Complication
Introduction: Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy Syndrome (PRES) is a neurological disorder presenting with seizures, headaches, visual disturbances, and altered consciousness. It has been linked to conditions like uncontrolled hypertension (HTN), thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP), and immunosuppressive treatments. While PRES typically occurs after the first dose of Rituximab, this case highlights its occurrence after a second dose.…
