While the impact of migraine on daily life is often assessed by the frequency and intensity of attacks, the impairment between episodes is frequently overlooked. The four-item Migraine Interictal Burden Scale (MIBS-4) is a tool that can provide information and help in the evaluation of interictal disability...
Recurrent Syncope During Migraine Attacks
Dias da Costa, Mariana; Nunes Vicente, Beatriz; Dourado Sotero, Filipa; Pavão Martins, IsabelMigraine is a cyclic condition with attacks consisting mainly of intense headaches, sensory intolerance, and nausea or vomiting. Loss of consciousness during attacks is often attributed exclusively to a neurally mediated reflex to pain, although it may also be due to migraine’s autonomic impairment, with cardiac conduction abnormalities, probably in relation to a degree of reduced sympathetic function. We repor...

Nunes Vicente, Beatriz; Oliveira Santos, MiguelSpinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is an autosomal recessive motor neuron disorder caused by homozygous deletion or mutation in 5q11.2-q13.3, affecting the SMN1 gene. It is characterized by progressive lower motor neuron loss in the brainstem and spinal cord, resulting in muscle weakness and atrophy. SMA is classified into four distinct clinical phenotypes, from the most severe phenotype (type I) to milder clinical ...

Leal Rato, Miguel; Nunes Vicente, Beatriz; Ribeiro Da Cunha, Maria; Marques, Tiago; de Sousa, Diana Aguiar; Canhão, PatríciaHerpes simplex virus 2 (HSV-2) is a very rare cause of central nervous system (CNS) infections. We report a case of a young woman with a left middle cerebral artery (MCA) ischemic stroke. The patient had history of HIV-1 infection, with periods of therapeutic non-compliance. Initial computed tomography (CT) imaging studies showed stenosis of the M1 segment of the left MCA, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) c...
