Acute and chronic demyelinating polyneuropathy post AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine

With the rollout of worldwide Covid-19 vaccination programmes, there have been reports of  potential neurological complications which may be attributable to the vaccines. These include cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST)1, which appears to be a complication of thrombosis with  thrombocytopenia syndrome (TTS). This has been documented as a rare complication of the  AstraZeneca and Ad26.COV2.S (Janssen) Covid-19 vaccines </p

Location-specific reflex epilepsy: a novel reflex epilepsy phenotype

Reflex epilepsies are rare syndromes where seizures are triggered by particular stimuli or activities that may be motor, sensory or cognitive in nature. Triggers are diverse, may be extrinsic or intrinsic in nature and heterogeneous phenotypes have been described over the years. We give an account of a case of location-specific reflex epilepsy which we suggest is a novel reflex epilepsy phenotype relating to higher cortical function (HCF), and review the literature in relation to features of HCF reflex epilepsies described to date.</p
