Article Abstract
Neurologic symptoms are commonly seen in patients with cancer and can be among the most challenging to diagnose and manage. It is often difficult to determine if new neurologic symptoms are secondary to direct effects of a malignant lesion, systemic complications of disease, paraneoplastic disorders, or side effects of cancer treatment itself. However, early diagnosis and treatment of each of these conditions can improve patients' quality of life and long-term functional outcomes. In this review, we describe a systematic approach to the diagnosis of new neurologic symptoms in patients with known malignancy. We have categorized the neurologic complications of cancer through a mechanistic approach, with an emphasis on ascertaining underlying pathophysiology to guide treatment choice. This review focuses on the acute neurologic complications of cancer that require hospital admission.

Background: Delirium in patients with ulcerative colitis may be seen, especially in the elderly and in patients hospitalized for a long time. In children, Wernicke's encephalopathy may occur due to thiamine deficiency in both ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. We present a patient with ulcerative colitis who presented with delirium as the first symptom, did not respond to steroid treatment and improved with anti-tumor necrosis factor-alpha treatment.

Backround: Leukemia is the most common childhood malignancy and often presents with nonspecific symptoms, which may lead to delays in diagnosis. Early recognition of clinical signs and laboratory abnormalities is essential to ensure timely referral and improve outcomes. This study assesses the clinical and laboratory characteristics of pediatric patients with acute and relapsed leukemia, points out key considerations during diagnosis, and investigates potential factors contributing to delayed diagnosis.

BackgroundEndovascular coil embolization is a common treatment for intracranial aneurysms, but aneurysm recanalization remains a significant problem that may necessitate retreatment. This study aimed to identify patient, aneurysm, and procedural factors associated with recanalization in aneurysms treated exclusively with coil embolization.MethodsThis single center retrospective study assessed intracranial aneurysms treated with coiling-only between 2017 and 2022.

Background And Objectives: Chronic subdural hematoma (cSDH) is a common neurosurgical condition, particularly in elderly patients. Middle meningeal artery embolization (MMAE) has emerged as a promising intervention, while statins have been explored for their anti-inflammatory and angiogenesis-modulating properties. This study aims to evaluate the impact of MMAE and statins, alone and in combination with surgery, on cSDH outcomes.
