Cranial nerve involvement in patients with MOG antibody–associated disease [PDF]
To describe clinical and radiologic features of cranial nerve (CN) involvement in patients with myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibodies (MOG-IgG) and to assess the potential underlying mechanism of CN involvement using a nonhuman primate (NHP) model.Epidemiologic, clinical, and radiologic features from a national cohort of 273 MOG-IgG-positive ...

Enhancement of cranial nerves, conus medullaris, and nerve roots in POLG mitochondrial disease [PDF]
A 20-year-old female patient was admitted to our department due to ptosis, double vision, and difficulty walking. The symptoms had evolved during the course of 2 months. She had never been very athletic and was described as always having been a “slow runner,” but otherwise her previous history was unremarkable. There was no family history of neurologic

Neurovascular Compression in Cranial Nerve and Systemic Disease
As we age, our arteries elongate and our brains "sag." As a consequence of these processes, redundant arterial loops and bridging or intrinsic hindbrain veins may cause cross-compression of cranial nerve root entry zones in the cerebellopontine angle.

Lyme Disease Presenting with Multiple Cranial Nerve Deficits: Report of a Case [PDF]
Lyme disease is a tick-transmitted multisystem inflammatory disease caused by the spirocheteBorrelia burgdorferi. With more than 25,000 CDC reported cases annually, it has become the most common vector-borne disease in the United States. We report a case of 38-year-old man with Lyme disease presenting with simultaneous palsy of 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th, and ...

Paget's disease of bone presenting with multiple cranial nerve palsies: A case report
Paget's disease of bone (PDB) is a progressive monostotic or polyostotic osteopathy with unknown cause. It is associated with the involvement of the nervous system. The cranial nerves, spinal roots, cauda equina, spinal cord, and brain can be affected in PDB due to their close anatomical relation to bone. Hearing loss occurs in 12%-50% of patients with

Electrical stimulation of cranial nerves in cognition and disease [PDF]
The cranial nerves are the pathways through which environmental information (sensation) is directly communicated to the brain, leading to perception, and giving rise to higher cognition. Because cranial nerves determine and modulate brain function, invasive and non-invasive cranial nerve electrical stimulation methods have applications in the clinical,

Disease of lower cranial nerves caused by vascular compression
Between April 1989 and September 2007, 181 patients with disease of lower cranial nerves (DLCN) underwent posterior fossa exploration. As a cause of DLCN, vascular compression (VC) was present in 89 patients with trigeminal neuralgia (TN), in 6 with hemifacial spasm (HFS), in 1 with glossopharyngeal neuralgia, in 1 with Meniere?s disease, and in 5 with

CHN1 and duane retraction syndrome: Expanding the phenotype to cranial nerves development disease
Duane retraction syndrome is a congenital eye movement disorder characterized by a failure of abducens nerve to develop normally, resulting in restriction or absence of abduction, adduction, or both, and narrowing of the palpebral fissure and retraction of the globe on attempted adduction.
