The thalamus has been considered critical for maintaining consciousness, but it is not clear if thalamic strokes can lead to severe impairment of arousal. The aim of this study was to investigate whether thalamic damage alone is sufficient to cause severe impairment of arousal in stroke patients. Patients with new-onset ischemic stroke without mass effect, leading to severe impairment of...

Improving prognostication in patients with a prolonged disorder of consciousness (pDoC) is among the most challenging issues in neurorehabilitation. The aim of this Italian multisite prospective longitudinal study was to identify valuable predictors of the complete recovery of consciousness (emergence from Minimally Conscious State, eMCS) at 3 months (T1) from the admission in intensive...

Susac syndrome is a rare autoimmune endotheliopathy that affects the central nervous system, retina, and inner ear, characterized by encephalopathy, branch retinal artery occlusions, and sensorineural hearing loss. Due to the heterogeneity of its presentation, early diagnosis, and treatment remain challenging. To evaluate the clinical outcomes and radiological responses in two patients with...

Migraine aura, near-death experiences (NDEs), and rapid eye movement (REM) sleep intrusions might share common mechanisms. Here, we investigated the prevalence of NDEs and REM sleep intrusions in people with migraine. We hypothesized that NDEs and REM sleep intrusions are more prevalent in migraine patients with aura than in those without. We conducted a prospective cross-sectional cohort study...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: To evaluate in disorders of consciousness (DOC) circadian variations in motor patterns and their possible synchronization with physiologically regulated light variations and/or a social environmental factor, i.e. presence and actions of other persons. METHODS: Actimetric and ambient light levels recordings were obtained during 4-9 days in two patients with traumatic...

The present study investigated the dream recall frequency and the pattern of influencing factors of patients with restless legs syndrome in comparison with healthy controls. The patients’ dream recall frequency did not differ from that of healthy controls. Dream recall, however, was negatively associated with the number of periodic leg movements with arousal (PLMAI). Subjective estimates of...
