Abstract

Background: Moyamoya vasculopathy (MMV), like Moyamoya disease (MMD) and Moyamoya syndrome (MMS), is a rare chronic cerebrovascular angiopathy, especially in elderly patients. The incidence onset of MMV were unique with bimodal peak age: 5-10 years old and 25-49 years old. Case: A 61-year-old-female complaint of sudden onset left-sided hemiparesis one month before admission, headache, and forgetfulness. She had history of diabetes mellitus for 3 years. Neurological physical examination found left hemiparesis with motoric strength 4/5. Laboratory findings are unremarkable. Brain MRI with contrast showed infarcts at subcortical regions. Her cerebral DSA examination suggested diffuse multiple stenosis in the anterior circulation and total occlusion of left external and internal carotid artery. “Puff of smoke” and “champagne-bottle like neck sign” were found in DSA imaging, typical signs of MMD. She received aspirin 80 mg as her secondary prevention of another stroke event.  Discussion: MMV case at elderly onset which is similar to prior small study with mean age of 60 years old. Previous study mentioned hypertension (44%) and diabetes mellitus (16%) were found in older MMD patients. Patient was given aspirin 80mg daily. Precautions in this case include taking lifelong antiplatelet, managing diabetes mellitus, and implementing lifestyle modification. This treatment approach was directed to lower concomitant risk of ischemic stroke. Conclusion: We report a case of MMV which was considered as a rare case and a cause of stroke event. The management of this case was directed to control the coexisting condition of ischemic stroke using antiplatelet drug and risk factor management.

Abstract

Background: Ventricular septal defect (VSD) is one of the critical risk factors for brain abscess. The unsterile blood in uncontrolled cyanotic congenital heart disease cases will travel to the brain after escaping the filtration mechanism and cause brain abscess. Case: A 40-year-old female presented with a two-week course of moderate headaches, worsening severely four days before admission. Neurological manifestations included attention deficits, dysarthria, right-sided hemiparesis, and proper facial palsy. Laboratory findings indicated leukocytosis and polycythemia. Echocardiography revealed VSD. Brain MRI with contrast suggested a single abscess lesion in the left occipital lobe. A histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis. Antibiotics were administered during hospitalization, with outpatient treatment afterward. A one-month follow-up revealed new symptoms and a subsequent surgical excision. Discussion: Brain abscess remains a challenging and life-threatening case despite advanced diagnostic techniques. Uncontrolled cyanotic heart disease might be an essential risk factor for brain abscess occurrence. Thorough diagnostic examinations must be conducted to establish the diagnosis. The optimal empirical-targeted antibiotic treatment is a cornerstone of management. After antibiotic therapy, a surgical approach must be considered in lesions with large-size or nonoptimal size reduction. It is essential to comprehensively manage brain abscesses and their etiology to reduce the recurrence rate. Conclusion: Brain abscess associated with uncontrolled cyanotic congenital heart disease requires comprehensive treatment involving antibiotics and surgery. Addressing underlying causes and cost-effective follow-ups with clinical and monthly imaging assessments are essential.

Abstract

Stroke is a major contributor to long-term disability and its incidence continues to rise annually. This case report aimed to explore the promising benefits of combining stem cell therapy with repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) in managing acute ischaemic stroke patients. A 62-year-old male presented with left-sided hemiparesis and hemineglect, as well as a cognitive disturbance in the attention domain. His medical history included uncontrolled hypertension over decades and diabetes mellitus for five years. A non-contrast head computed tomography (CT) scan revealed infarction in the right middle cerebral artery (MCA), with an initial National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) of 13 upon admission to the Emergency Room. The infection and tumour markers were conducted to confirm no contraindication in this patient receiving stem cell therapy. Following the acute phase, the patient underwent a comprehensive treatment regimen involving both stem cell therapy and serial rTMS. Clinical assessments included NIHSS, Barthel Index, and Fugl-Meyer Assesement to evaluate neurological deficits. Additionally, the Montreal Cognitive Assessment-Indonesian version (MoCA-INA) assessment, electroencephalography examination and motor threshold were conducted. The results of this case report revealed noteworthy improvements in NIHSS, motoric strength, and cognitive function post-treatment. In this case report, improvement in clinical outcomes was obtained in the form of motor strength and higher cortical function. Stem cell therapy combined with rTMS has good potential in treating various neuroregenerative and rehabilitative aspects in ischaemic stroke patients.

Abstract

Introduction: The prevalence of dementia tends to increase over time. MOCA assessment tool is a cognitive function screening test that has high sensitivity. Telephone-based MOCA assessment has potential of detection and monitoring dementia which can be widely applied.Methods: This is an observational study with cross-sectional approach in the Neurology Outpatient Department RSUD Dr. Moewardi. The aim of this study is to compare the effectiveness of MOCA-INA assessment tool with the T-MOCA.Results: There were 424 patients who underwent MOCA-INA examination during January-June 2022. After screening, 185 patients were able to complete the study. Subjects consisted of 67 males (36.2%) and 118 females (63.8%); aged 65-74 years (44.9%), 75-84 years (25.9%), and 85 years (29.2%). It was found that the conformity diagnosis of MOCA-INA to T-MOCA was 82.3% in the conversion test. There were significant differences between normal patients and MCI patients in age (p=0.000), education level (p=0.000), MOCA-INA score (p=0.000), and T-MOCA score (p=0.000). The relationship between MOCA-INA and T-MOCA has a strong positive correlation (p = 0.000; r = 0.789). Subsequent correlation test between MOCA-INA and T-MoCA showed a strong significant relationship in the direction of gender (p = 0.000; r = 0.438) and education level (p = 0.000; r = -0.323)Conclusion: Both MOCA-INA and T-MOCA could significantly determine the level of cognitive function with a strong correlation between the two assessments.
