Pearls & oy-sters: a challenging optic neuropathy: what not to miss in optic ne...
Vidal, Maria Isabel; Antunes, Ana Patrícia; Morgado, Carlos; Simas, Nuno; Roque, Rafael; Albuquerque, LuísaOptic neuropathies include a wide range of disorders from ischemic, toxic, demyelinating, or inflammatory processes with acute/subacute onset to more gradual compressive or genetic etiologies. Accurate clinical history and multimodality optic nerve imaging including MRI and optical coherence tomography have greatly improved the diagnosis of patients with optic neuropathies. We report a case of a woman with seve...
Stereo-EEG recording and minimally invasive treatment of a periventricular nodu...
Franco, Ana Catarina; Peralta, Ana Rita; Morgado, Carlos; Gonçalves Ferreira, António; Rainha Campos, Alexandre; Bentes, CarlaPeriventricular nodular heterotopias (PNHs) are malformations of cortical development. These are frequently associated with drug-resistant epilepsy. Stereo-electroencephalography (SEEG) is usually part of the epilepsy pre-surgical evaluation in order to find the epileptogenic zone (EZ). SEEG-guided radiofrequency-thermocoagulation (RF-TC) has been used to ablate or disrupt the EZ and proved to be effective, wit...
Early EEG predicts poststroke epilepsy
Bentes, Carla; Martins, Hugo; Peralta, Ana Rita; Morgado, Carlos; Casimiro, Carlos; Franco, Ana Catarina; Fonseca, Ana Catarina; Geraldes, RuthObjective: Electroencephalography (EEG) can identify biomarkers of epileptogenesis and ictogenesis. However, few studies have used EEG in the prediction of poststroke seizures. Our primary aim was to evaluate whether early EEG abnormalities can predict poststroke epilepsy. Methods: A prospective study of consecutive acute anterior circulation ischemic stroke patients, without previous epileptic seizures, who we...
Quantitative EEG and functional outcome following acute ischemic stroke
Bentes, Carla; Peralta, Ana; Viana, Pedro; Martins, Hugo F G; Morgado, Carlos; Casimiro, Carlos; Franco, Ana Catarina; Fonseca, Ana CatarinaObjective: To identify the most accurate quantitative electroencephalographic (qEEG) predictor(s) of unfavorable post-ischemic stroke outcome, and its discriminative capacity compared to already known demographic, clinical and imaging prognostic markers. Methods: Prospective cohort of 151 consecutive anterior circulation ischemic stroke patients followed for 12 months. EEG was recorded within 72 h and at discha...
Seizures, electroencephalographic abnormalities, and outcome of ischemic stroke...
Bentes, Carla; Peralta, Ana Rita; Martins, Hugo F G; Casimiro, Carlos; Morgado, Carlos; Franco, Ana Catarina; Viana, Pedro; Fonseca, Ana CatarinaObjective: Seizures and electroencephalographic (EEG) abnormalities have been associated with unfavorable stroke functional outcome. However, this association may depend on clinical and imaging stroke severity. We set out to analyze whether epileptic seizures and early EEG abnormalities are predictors of stroke outcome after adjustment for age and clinical/imaging infarct severity. Methods: A prospective study ...
Post-stroke seizures are clinically underestimated
Bentes, Carla; Martins, Hugo F G; Peralta, Ana Rita; Casimiro, Carlos; Morgado, Carlos; Franco, Ana Catarina; Fonseca, Ana Catarina; Geraldes, RuthCerebrovascular disease is the leading cause of epilepsy in adults, although post-stroke seizures reported frequency is variable and few studies used EEG in their identification. To describe and compare EEG and clinical epileptic manifestations frequency in patients with an anterior circulation ischaemic stroke. Prospective study of acute anterior circulation ischaemic stroke patients, consecutively admitted to...
Quantitative analysis versus visual assessment of Neuromelanin MR Imaging for t...
Reimão, Sofia; Pita Lobo, Patrícia; Neutel, Dulce; Correia Guedes, Leonor; Coelho, Miguel; Rosa, Mário Miguel; Ferreira, Joana; Abreu, DaisyBackground: Specific MR sequences have been able to identify the loss of neuromelanin in the substantia nigra (SN) of early stage Parkinson's disease (PD) patients. Since this technique may have a significant impact in clinical patient management, easy and widely available imaging analysis is needed for routine use. Objective: In this study we compared a quantitative analysis with a visual assessment of SN neur...
Normalização contabilística em Portugal: situação actual e futura
Pires, Rui A.R.; Santos, Alexandra; Fernandes, Rita; Morgado, CarlosEn Portugal la Comisión de Normalización Contable, como consecuencia de la estrategia relativa a la Armonización de la Contabilidad Internacional de la Unión Europea y a la publicación del Reglamento (CE) nº 1606/2002 del Parlamento Europeo y del Consejo, elaboró un proyecto de normalización que considera dos niveles de adaptación de las NIC/NIRF: - Uno más exigente destinado a sociedades de mayor dimensión. - ...
Intraparenchymal neuroepithelial cysts--imaging findings in four clinical cases.
Reimão, Sofia; Sousa, Rita; Morgado, CarlosNeuroepithelial cysts, heterogeneous group of lesions, are fluid collections similar to CSF, lined by epithelial cells, frequently found in the lateral ventricles and choroidal fissure; intraparenchymal cysts are relatively uncommon. We report CT and MRI imaging findings of four intraparenchymal neuroepithelial cysts, two of which have histological confirmation of the diagnosis.; Neuroepithelial cysts, heteroge...
