Azygos Anterior Cerebral Artery Causing Bifrontal Infarcts: A Case Report, Abdul Khaliq, Palwasha Gul, Pari Gul
Azygos Anterior Cerebral Artery Causing Bifrontal Infarcts: A Case Report, Abdul Khaliq, Palwasha Gul, Pari Gul
Pakistan Journal of Neurological Sciences (PJNS)
The azygos anterior cerebral artery (AACA) is an uncommon anatomical variant. There is absence of the anterior communicating artery (ACom) and bilateral anterior cerebral arteries (ACA) form a common trunk and travels superiorly in the interhemispheric fissure. It can result in bilateral frontal infarcts in case of thromboembolism. Therefore its correct diagnosis is of grave importance for better patient clinical outcome. Cerebrovascular infarction is a common condition, however simultaneous symmetrical bilateral infarction secondary to arterial occlusion is a rare entity. We report a case of a 50 years male with thromboembolic event in azygos anterior cerebral artery resulting in bifrontal …

Challenges & Barriers For Neuro Rehabilitation In Developing Countries, Muhammad Naveed Babur, Maria Liaqat
Pakistan Journal of Neurological Sciences (PJNS)
People with disabilities especially neurological disabilities have many unmet health and rehabilitation needs, face barriers in accessing mainstream health-care services, and consequently have poor health. There are not sufficient epidemiological studies from Pakistan which assess barriers to neurorehabilitation and ways to counter it.
Radiological And Clinical Outcomes In Patients Undergoing Anterior Cervical Discectomy And Fusion: Comparing Titanium And Peek (Polyetheretherketone) Cages, Muhammad Junaid, Mamoon Ur Rashid, Syed Sarmad Bukhari, Mamoon Ahmed
Radiological And Clinical Outcomes In Patients Undergoing Anterior Cervical Discectomy And Fusion: Comparing Titanium And Peek (Polyetheretherketone) Cages, Muhammad Junaid, Mamoon Ur Rashid, Syed Sarmad Bukhari, Mamoon Ahmed
Section of Neurosurgery
Objectives: To study clinical and radiological outcomes in patients who had undergone the procedure of anterior cervical discectomy and fusion with titanium or PEEK (polyetheretherketone) cages for cervical disc prolapse.
Methods: This is a retrospective/non-randomized study which was conducted at the Combined Military Hospital Peshawar. Study interval was four years from 1st October, 2010 to 31st September, 2014. Total number of included patients were 149. All of the patients had undergone the procedure of anterior cervical discectomy and fusion with titanium or PEEK (polyetheretherketone) cages. All of the patients had plain MRI cervical spine done for diagnosis of anterior cervical …

Neuromyelitis Optica (Nmo); A Case Report, Saad Waheed, Jawad Hussian, Yasir Saood, Aqsa Shehzadi

Devic’s disease or syndrome also known as Neuromyelitis optica (NMO) which is a demyelinating central nervous system (immune-mediated) ailment that predominantly targets the optic nerves and spinal cord. NMO-IgG seropositivity & longitudinally extensive spinal-cord lesions typically represents the Devic’s disease & differentiates it from Multiple Sclerosis (MS).Treatment for NMO is based upon its presentation such as for acute phase(steroids, IVIG etc), prevention of relapse (steroid sparing immunosuppression etc) and symptom based therapy (e.g spasticity etc). Here, we present a case of NMO in a young female (26 years old), married patient who presented to us with total vision loss, urinary …

Synovial Sarcoma Of Cervicodorsal Spine: A Case Report, Wali Umer Shah, Syeda Dania Shujaat, Naseeb Ullah, Salman Mansoor
Section of Neurology
Synovial sarcoma is a soft-tissue sarcoma. Its involvement of the spine is extremely rare. We report a 40 year old male who presented with shoulder pain and progressive weakness in all four limbs for six months with a visible, slowly growing bulge in his upper back. On examination he had quadriparesis and diffuse sensory deficit. MRI of the cervical spine showed a large soft tissue mass, iso to hypointense, extending into the neural canal, compressing the cord. The mass had a few internal areas of contrast enhancement with extension into the right paraspinal regions involving the vertebral bodies. Sub-periosteal spine …

The Loose End: Neurology Without Rehabilitation, Ahmad Zaheer Qureshi, Farooq Azam Rathore
Pakistan Journal of Neurological Sciences (PJNS)
In recent years, successive therapies for previously untreatable neurological conditions have been introduced in clinical practice and these advance interventions have remarkably changed the landscape of neurosciences1,2 .But, rehabilitation of the functional impairments caused by neurological diseases is often overlooked or sometimes even neglected. In other words, the role of a comprehensive and early multidisciplinary rehabilitation in neurological disease is unrecognized and poorly understood even among neurologists and neurosurgeons. Usually, lifesaving neurosurgical management or solving a diagnostic riddle in neurology is attributed to successful patient management; however in reality, this is the first step in establishing a care plan for …

Pakistan Journal of Neurological Sciences (PJNS)
Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) is an autoimmune condition that predominately involve demyelination of the white matter of the brain and spinal cord. It resembles other acute demyelinating syndromes like multiple sclerosis and most often presents in childhood.This is a case of a 52-year woman, presented with lower limb weakness, confusion and spasticity throughout the body with no preceding illness. CSF showed increased proteins with no oligoclonal bands. MRI Brain showed abnormal high intensity areas in bilateral parietal, periventricular region, with no contrast enhancement. She was given 1gram iv methylprednisolone based on the diagnosis of ADEM and responded well.

Acute Onset Of Quadriplegia Secondary To Hypoparathyroidism: Mimicker Of Aman Variant Of Gbs, Syeda Saba Zaidi, Tahira Siddiqui, Sarwar Jamil Siddiqui
Section of Neurology
Acute onset of quadriplegia is a rare phenomenon seen with hypocalcemia due to hypoparathyroidism. We describe a 33-year gentleman who presented with weakness of all four limbs and areflexia. ECG showed QT abnormality. Nerve conduction study revealed normal sensory and significantly low motor CMAP amplitudes in both the upper and lower extremities. This nerve conduction study can be seen in acute motor neuropathy of various etiologies, among which GBS is the most worrisome. Our patient found to have low calcium and parathyroid hormone level. His symptoms improved after calcium replacement. Occurrence of quadriplegia in hypoparathyroidism, and its improvement after correction …
