• Article: Familial Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension

  ABSTRACT: Background: Case reports of familial idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) have appeared sporadically and infrequently. Methods: We reviewed the medical records of all patients with IIH seen at our institution to identify the number of familial cases. Results: Out of a cohort of 237 patients with IIH, we identified 27 members (25 women and 2 men) from 11 families, with IIH usually self-reported or reported by the index case. In 7 of the 11 families, the relationship was parent to child; in 4, it was sibling. Obesity was present in 85% of the family members. Conclusions: Familial IIH appears to be more common than reported previously. A systematic evaluation of first-degree relatives may help to identify more cases. A study of the patterns of inheritance and associated co-morbidities may result in better understanding of the genetic issues with this disorder.

• Article: Isolated cortical visual loss with subtle brain MRI abnormalities in a case of hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy.

  ABSTRACT: A 16-year-old boy who was briefly asystolic and hypotensive after a motor vehicle accident complained of abnormal vision after recovering consciousness. Visual acuity was normal, but visual fields were severely constricted without clear hemianopic features. The ophthalmic examination was otherwise normal. Brain MRI performed 11 days after the accident showed no pertinent abnormalities. At 6 months after the event, brain MRI demonstrated brain volume loss in the primary visual cortex and no other abnormalities. One year later, visual fields remained severely constricted; neurologic examination, including formal neuropsychometric testing, was normal. This case emphasizes the fact that hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) may cause enduring damage limited to primary visual cortex and that the MRI abnormalities may be subtle. These phenomena should be recognized in the management of patients with HIE.

• Article: Posterior ischemic optic neuropathy after minimally invasive prostatectomy.

  [show abstract] [hide abstract]
  ABSTRACT: Two patients developed postoperative ischemic optic neuropathy (ION) after laparoscopic radical prostatectomy. One operation was robotically assisted; the other was performed with the conventional laparoscopic technique. These new minimally invasive techniques offer many advantages, but they require steep supine head-flexed (Trendelenburg) positioning. Until they are mastered by surgeons, operative times may be prolonged beyond those associated with the traditional technique. As a result, ION may occur more frequently.

• Article: Migraine-like visual hallucinations as the presenting manifestations of focal seizures in neurocysticercosis.

  Sanjeev Jha, Rajesh Kumar
  [show abstract] [hide abstract]
  ABSTRACT: We report three patients with visual hallucinations as the initial manifestations of neurocysticercosis (NCC) in whom migraine was the first diagnosis. The correct diagnosis was suspected when electroencephalograms were abnormal and was confirmed by characteristic brain imaging. The visual hallucinations ceased promptly after treatment with antiepileptic and anti-NCC medications. We caution that NCC may present with focal seizures manifesting as visual hallucinations with features of migraine.

  Article: Closely spaced stressful life events precede the onset of benign essential blepharospasm and hemifacial spasm.

  ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study was to assess the possible role of major stressful life events, complicated grief, and depression in the pathogenesis of benign essential blepharospasm (BEB) and hemifacial spasm (HFS). This was a case-control study involving 23 participants with BEB/HFS and 23 control subjects, comparing the frequency of major stressful life events, depression on the Beck Depression Inventory-II, and complicated grief on the Inventory of Complicated Grief. There was no difference in the rate of depression or complicated grief between participants with BEB/HFS (57%) and control subjects (48%). Participants with BEB/HFS experienced a significantly (P = 0.0048) shorter time interval between two major stressful life events (median, 0.3 year) than did the control group (median, 3.0 years). The proportion of participants who had suffered two major stressful lifetime events separated by 1 year or less was significantly greater for participants with BEB/HFS than for control subjects (P = 0.0007). The onset of BEB and HFS was often preceded by a major lifetime stressor. The development of these conditions was significantly related to the number of stressful life events occurring within the preceding year rather than to the total number of stressful life events. Subjects who sustain closely spaced stressful life events may be at increased risk of developing BEB and HFS.

• Article: Exotropia and face turn in children with homonymous hemianopia.

  Sean P Donahue, Alden K Haun
  [show abstract] [hide abstract]
  ABSTRACT: Four children developed homonymous hemianopia, exotropia with the deviating eye pointing in the direction of the field defect, and a face turn toward the side of the defect following complete third cranial nerve palsy after brain tumor resection, an in utero middle cerebral artery infarction, nonaccidental head trauma, and a hemispherectomy for an intractable seizure disorder. We present evidence that the exotropia and face turn are part of an adaptive mechanism to increase the useful visual field.

• Article: Room tilt illusion influenced by head position.

  ABSTRACT: After a low brainstem stroke, a 73-year-old man experienced episodes of 90 degrees tilting of the visual environment in the sagittal plane evoked or terminated by voluntarily changing his head position. The episodes ceased 10 days after the stroke. This provocation by head position supports the idea that pathologic visual-vestibular interaction is at the basis of the room tilt illusion.
