  • Is Portable MRI the Next Big Breakthrough in Clinical Neuroimaging?
    March 20, 2023 | Gitanjali Das, MD, and Eric Lee Stulberg, MD, MPH

     

    The advent of MRI has had a major impact on the diagnosis and treatment of neurologic disease.1 Although MRI scanners are routinely used in clinical practice, current scanners are large, costly, and require staff to transport and monitor patients during scans. In their recent publication titled “Future of Neurology & Technology: Neuroimaging Made Accessible Using Low Field, Portable MRI,” Parasuram et al. discuss the current applications of portable MRI (pMRI), barriers to widespread use, and future applications.2

  • March 21 | Video e-Pearl | Adult Onset Opsoclonus-Myoclonus-Ataxia in Occult Malignancy

    e-Pearls archive | Video e-Pearls archive |Submit an e-Pearl

    A 68-year-old male with 45-pack-year smoking history presented with oscillopsia, progressive clumsiness, gait ataxia, and vertigo for 2 months. Examination revealed truncal ataxia, opsoclonus, and ocular flutter (video). Opsoclonus and ocular flutter are similar findings. While opsoclonus refers to involuntary multi-directional saccades, ocular flutter is characterized by a burst of horizontal saccades without an intersaccadic interval. Neuroimaging and serum paraneoplastic antibody testing including ANNA-2/anti-Ri were normal. CT chest demonstrated pulmonary nodules and diffuse lymphadenopathy. Lymph node biopsy showed metastatic, poorly differentiated carcinoma. Opsoclonus-myoclonus-ataxia is commonly associated with paraneoplastic antibodies arising from breast or lung cancers, though antibodies are not discovered in all cases.1,2 Evaluation for occult neoplasia should be pursued.

    Video legend: Involuntary burst of horizontal saccades without an intersaccadic interval typical of ocular flutter was the predominant pattern identified during telehealth evaluation.
