Gotta patient with old mets which resolved after RT to the lumbosacral area ages ago. There’s enhancement of the cauda equina on MRI. Is this cancer or RT damage?

A #practical topic for today. #Pregnancy changes things - but more so for our #neurology patients - or not? #pearls from the #EAN2020 #MedEd #MedTwitter #MedStudentTwitter #neurologyresident @EANeurology @WNGtweets Let’s first address #multiplesclerosis. Patients get better in third trimester and 30% relapse #postpartum. Immune responses shifts to anti-inflammatory in 3rd trimester to accommodate fetus - #etcomehome - but rebounds after birth. #MedEd #doubledoc #AcademicTwitter

Now eye enjoyed an important question addressed at #EAN2020. Good to think about when you are called to ED for #opticneuritis. Let’s think about it together. Let’s focus on #clinicaldiagnosismaking #meded #medstudenttwitter #medtwitter #neurologyresident @WNGtweets @EANeurology How do you tell if it’s optic neuritis or not? #painless #unilateral #altitudinal -means top half or bottom half of the field - vision loss more likely to be non-arteritic AION. Any other red flags less likely to be optic neuritis?

Shoutout to #EAN2020 @EANeurology for the high yield pearls on #ataxia. Checkout the free #EAN2020 #ataxia workshops for more details but here are a few with my added comments. #MedEd #neurology #MedStudentTwitter #AcademicChatter #doubledoc #neurologyresident @movedisorder If you think the patient has cerebellar ataxia, think about acquired vs inherited causes. Most common acquired causes are Vitamin (E, B12, B1), Immune (Celiac), Paraneoplastic (Hu, Yo, GAD). Or VIP -cuz it’s Very Important to rule out - as these can be treated. #MedEd #MedTwitter

Let’s do a quick one on #clinicaldecisionmaking and #neuroimaging. See bright spot on MRI T2 Brain just means increased water -could be any insult to the brain - #infection #inflammation #ischemia #neoplasm are the top 4 you gotta have in your brain. Pun intended. #MedTwitter Then you think - active or inactive process? If it’s actively destroying the BBB, it’ll enhance on contrast enhancement. So get MRI with and without contrast. Why without? T2 shine-through - but that’s for another time. #MedStudentTwitter #neurology #neurologyresident
