RESUMEN

Cases of herpes zoster ophthalmicus (HZO) complicated by bilateral ophthalmoplegia are rare, and no cases of bilateral third, fourth, or sixth cranial nerve palsies have been reported. Syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH) is a rare complication of HZO. We herein report an 80-year-old Japanese woman with right-sided HZO complicated by meningoencephalitis and discuss the pathogenesis of this condition. She developed bilateral third, fourth, and sixth cranial nerve palsies and SIADH almost simultaneously during treatment for HZO. The bilateral cranial palsy spontaneously resolved within a few months.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Endovascular thrombectomy is recognized as a pivotal treatment for acute ischemic stroke due to large vessel occlusion. Prolonged door-to-puncture time correlates with decreased patient independence after acute ischemic stroke. This study aimed to assess whether a streamlined workflow, including nurse recognition of conjugate gaze deviation, could reduce door-to-puncture time in endovascular thrombectomy. METHODS: This study retrospectively reviewed patients with acute ischemic stroke who underwent endovascular thrombectomy between March 2017 and March 2022 and compared a previous workflow with a streamlined workflow implemented in April 2019. In the streamlined workflow, nurses recognized conjugate gaze deviation to identify patients with large vessel occlusions and played a more active role in reducing the door-to-puncture time. We compared time metrics and outcomes, including recanalization status, parenchymal hemorrhage type 2, and favorable outcomes (modified Rankin Scale score 0-2) at three months between the previous and streamlined workflow groups. RESULTS: After the application of the streamlined workflow, the door-to-puncture time was reduced from 76 min to 68 min (p = 0.014), and the number of patients with a door-to-puncture time of less than 60 min increased (15% vs. 36%, p = 0.002). Outcomes including modified thrombolysis in cerebral infarction ≥ 2b (73% vs. 71%, p = 1.000), parenchymal hemorrhage type 2 (7% vs. 2%, p = 0.281), and favorable outcome (33% vs. 34%, p = 1.000) were comparable between the two groups. CONCLUSION: Nurse recognition of conjugate gaze deviation contributed to an 8-minute reduction in the door-to-puncture time, demonstrating the potential benefits of an organized workflow in acute ischemic stroke.

RESUMEN

An 80-year-old woman presented with sudden-onset dysarthria and left-side dominant quadriparesis and transferred to our hospital. A neurologic examination revealed slurred speech, prominent left upper extremity weakness and mild weakness of the other extremities. Brain MRI revealed a history of right-side cerebral artery bypass surgery, but no new lesions indicative of stroke. Left upper extremity weakness had improved soon after admission, so a transient ischemic attack was suspected. After admission, the dysarthria fluctuated. The patient's respiratory condition deteriorated several days later and she required ventilation support. Assessment of the cause of the respiratory failure revealed positive muscle-specific kinase (MuSK) antibodies, which suggested myasthenia gravis (MG). The symptoms gradually improved with immunotherapy and we were able to completely withdraw her from the ventilator after a few months. There were some reports that dysphagia and dysarthria present suddenly like stroke without fluctuation of symptoms in elderly-onset MG. It is necessary to note that MG diagnosis may be difficult if elderly patients have multiple comorbidities and unclear diurnal fluctuations.
