Abstract Background During the recent outbreak of COVID-19, various atypical extrapulmonary manifestations are being seen, including neurological ones. Reported cases mainly include encephalopathy, myelitis, and cranial nerve involvement. This case describes uncommon neuroradiological finding in the context of COVID-19. Case presentation We report an atypical case of COVID-19 presenting with stroke-like episode, with MRI brain showing isolated bilateral posterior internal capsule involvement. This has rarely been reported in literature. Conclusion As the numbers of COVID-19 cases are increasing, such atypical presentations should be kept in mind.

Acute steroid responsive meningitis-arteritis (SRMA) is a common neurological disorder in young dogs. Typical clinical symptoms of the acute form of SRMA are neck pain, depression and fever. This case report describes a 1.5-year-old Pointer with uncommon neurological deficits (unilateral multiple cranial nerve deficits and Horner’s syndrome) and an exceptional necrosis of the tongue. This was believed to be part of the systemic vasculitis accompanying SRMA. The patient also developed tail necrosis and iatrogenic calcinosis cutis, which complicated further treatment of the dog.

Abstract IntroductionAs more novel COVID-19 vaccines are being rolled out in a frantic pace globally, any complication that might be related to COVID-19 vaccines should be highlighted, especially since COVID-19 vaccines are relatively new, and side effects may yet to be fully elucidated. We report a case of a healthy 18-year-old male who presented with new onset focal seizures 5 days after receiving 1st dose of Oxford/AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine. Case PresentationThe patient was treated with intravenous phenytoin and oral levetiracetam 250mg twice daily with no further events. There was no documented fever. CT venogram and EEG were unremarkable. MRI brain revealed generalised atrophy including mild bilateral hippocampal atrophy with no evidence of sclerosis. There was no predilection for seizures identified from the patient’s history. The patient was discharged the following day on levetiracetam and advised to proceed with the 2nd dose of Oxford/AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccination in 3 months’ time.ConclusionSeizures following COVID-19 vaccination have only been reported in a handful of cases. COVID-19 vaccination could lower seizure threshold, or unmask an underlying predisposition for epilepsy. As most COVID-19 vaccines worldwide are given in 2 doses, clinicians should consider maintaining patients on anti-seizure drugs if vaccination was thought to be a provoking factor.

ABSTRACTDespite India achieving the goal of elimination of leprosy as a public health problem, leprosy is still being transmitted in India. However, due to decreased clinical suspicion of leprosy and atypical case presentations, such cases may be not be diagnosed. We present a case report of an unusual presentation of multibacillary leprosy which presented as nodular lesions. This case report indicates that atypical presentations of leprosy may be missed out by primary care physicians.
