Mashup Score: 41Clinical and Radiographic Improvement Following Steroid Therapy in Subacute Post-Traumatic Ascending Myelopathy | Neurology - 10 hour(s) ago
A 47-year-old woman struck by a car sustained a T11 chance fracture stabilized with instrumented fusion. 3 weeks later, she developed progressive (over 48 hours) paresthesias and weakness of her legs and urinary retention. Examination revealed paraplegia, asymmetric hyper-reflexia, patchy pinprick sensation, and decreased vibration sense. Myelopathy screening (CSF, serology) was negative including oligoclonal bands, anti-AQP4, and anti-MOG. Clinical and imaging findings were consistent with subacute

Mashup Score: 8Cultural Perspectives on Neurologic Diseases in Ghana: A Reflection on Epilepsy | Neurology® Journals - 12 hour(s) ago
Epilepsy, a neurologic disorder characterized by recurrent seizures, presents a complex challenge in Ghana, where traditional beliefs and modern medical understanding often collide.
