Chronic dysfunction of blood-brain barrier in patients with post-encephalitic/encephalopathic epilepsy

admin November 13, 2018

The reported risk of developing post-encephalitic/encephalopathic epilepsy (PEE) in patients who had acute encephalitis/encephalopathy was 6.8% and 16.4% [1,2]. Previous studies have shown that PEE accounts for 5.5% and 10.4% of patients with intractable epilepsy [3,4]. PEE is recognized as drug-resistant epilepsy, and patients with PEE are often affected by adverse effects related to poly-pharmaceutical therapy.… Read More...

Mechanical thrombectomy (MT) in association with intravenous thrombolysis is recommended for treatment of acute ischemic stroke (AIS), with large vessel occlusion (LVO) in the anterior circulation. Because MT is only available in comprehensive stroke centers (CSC), the challenge of stroke organization is to ensure equitable access to the fastest endovascular suite.… Read More...
