    BRAINSTORM: UNRAVELING MULTIFOCAL MADNESS--AN INTERESTING CASE OF STREPTOCOCCUS INTERMEDIUS BRAIN ABSCESS (Convention Center Exhibit Hall: Poster Area 2) -  Jul 31, 2024 - Abstract #CHEST2024CHEST_5211;    
    Observational studies suggest that the overall prognosis has improved but mortality rates remain high. While Streptococcus are frequently identified as a cause of solitary brain abscess, the presentation of multifocal brain abscesses should also lead to the consideration of Streptococcus intermedius as a possible cause of infection.
  • ||||||||||  COMPLEXITY OF DIAGNOSIS AND MANAGEMENT OF SILENT SYNDROME (Convention Center Exhibit Hall: Poster Area 2) -  Jul 31, 2024 - Abstract #CHEST2024CHEST_5190;    
    His home medications included Seroquel 300 mg qAM and 800 mg qHS, Lithium 900 mg qHS, Depakote 1500 mg BID, Keppra 1000 mg BID, Benztropine 0.5 mg BID, and Pramipexole 1.5 mg BID...A trial of lorazepam was initiated for suspected catatonia, though no improvement was observed... As clinicians, we must remain vigilant and bring awareness regarding the recognition and management of SILENT and other medication-induced neurological complications.

    TAKOTSUBO CARDIOMYOPATHY PRECIPITATED BY THROMBECTOMY FOR PULMONARY EMBOLUS WITH COR PULMONALE (Convention Center Exhibit Hall: Poster Area 1) -  Jul 31, 2024 - Abstract #CHEST2024CHEST_5037;    
    Given that a significant number of TTS cases occur without a stress trigger, the consideration of other etiologies off TTS must be taken. The pathophysiology of TTS continues to be unclear, though this case suggests that pulmonary embolism with a thrombectomy may be a possible cause of TTS, attention to possible complications of thrombectomy remain important.

    CAN METHOTREXATE TOXICITY OCCUR DESPITE A LOW-DOSE REGIMEN AND NORMAL THERAPEUTIC LEVELS? (Convention Center Exhibit Hall: Rapid Fire Area 2B) -  Jul 31, 2024 - Abstract #CHEST2024CHEST_4851;    
    Methotrexate blood levels do not consistently parallel the toxicity. This must be considered when managing a critically ill patient with multiorgan failure, despite the dose and duration of methotrexate.

    A RARE CASE OF HSV-2 ENCEPHALITIS IN AN IMMUNOCOMPETENT ADULT PATIENT (Convention Center Exhibit Hall: Rapid Fire Area 3A) -  Jul 31, 2024 - Abstract #CHEST2024CHEST_4510;    
    A high index of suspicion for HSV-2 encephalitis is important in patients with febrile encephalopathy even if immunocompetent because if untreated, the mortality rate exceeds 70%. Early treatment with acyclovir has reduced the mortality to 19%.

    ASSESSING RISK OF RESPIRATORY DEPRESSION FOLLOWING INITIAL PHENOBARBITAL LOADING FOR SEVERE ALCOHOL WITHDRAWAL SYNDROME (Convention Center Exhibit Hall: Poster Area 2) -  Jul 31, 2024 - Abstract #CHEST2024CHEST_4492;    
    While 6 patients required intubation, most were intubated due to persistent withdrawal symptoms alone. The majority of patients who underwent phenobarbital loading had no respiratory compromise, suggesting that phenobarbital loading for SAW is of low risk for respiratory depression and could be performed on the hospital ward in carefully selected patients.

    ICTAL ASYSTOLE: A RARE CASE OF ICTAL BRADYARRYTHMIA (Convention Center Exhibit Hall: Rapid Fire Area 2C) -  Jul 31, 2024 - Abstract #CHEST2024CHEST_3247;    
    There was no pre-existing or baseline cardiac dysfunction, Postulating probable cause of IA to be related to temporal lobe epilepsy itself.This case highlights importance of simultaneous EEG and EKG recording of focal seizures, especially those of temporal lobe origin, which can pick up the rare but potentially life-threatening occurrence of clinically relevant IA. IA can be successfully treated permanently by surgery or drug modulation in ideal candidates, circumventing the need for lifelong intervention like pacemaker.

    BRAIN METASTASIS IN PULMONARY SARCOMATOID CARCINOMA (PSC): A RARE CASE REPORT (Convention Center Exhibit Hall: Poster Area 3) -  Jul 31, 2024 - Abstract #CHEST2024CHEST_2879;    
    Currently, there are no specific guidelines for managing PSC, and treatment is often based on the individual patient's health status, age, and other factors. However, recent research has suggested that aggressive surgical resection of PSC may lead to improved outcomes, particularly in cases of localized tumors.

    MULTIPLE CALCIFIED BRAIN LESIONS IN METASTATIC LUNG ADENOCARCINOMA (Convention Center Exhibit Hall: Poster Area 3) -  Jul 31, 2024 - Abstract #CHEST2024CHEST_1585;    
    CASE PRESENTATION: A 60-year-old woman with a recently diagnosed seizure disorder on Levetiracetam presented with chronic dull aching headaches, facial drooping, back and neck pain, and weight loss of 30 pounds over 6 months...Whole brain radiation therapy was initiated immediately, and systemic chemotherapy followed with Osimertinib 80 mg daily, resulting in improvement in symptoms and a considerable decrease in the size of lung mass and number of brain metastatic lesions... Metastasis is a less recognized cause of intraparenchymal brain calcification, but it is crucial to be kept within the differential, in patients with, but even in those without, an oncological history.

    Review, Journal:  Alzheimer's disease and epilepsy: Research hotspots for comorbidity in the era of global aging. (Pubmed Central) -  Jul 29, 2024   
    Animal models are recognized for their importance in understanding the relationship between AD and epilepsy, though creating fully representative models presents a challenge. The review concludes by noting the efficacy of medications such as lamotrigine, levetiracetam, and memantine in managing both conditions and suggests the ketogenic diet and cannabidiol as emerging treatment options, warranting further investigation for comprehensive patient care strategies.

    Journal:  Effect of Antiseizure Medication on the Salience Network in Patients with Epilepsy with Generalized Tonic-Clonic Seizures Alone. (Pubmed Central) -  Jul 27, 2024   
    Marked differences were found in the brain regions assessed in patients with EGTCSa treated with valproic acid and carbamazepine compared to the control group; few differences in patients treated with levetiracetam; and no difference was found in the group without treatment compared with those in the control group. These results suggest that ASMs can influence cognitive processes, which provide novel insights toward understanding the neural mechanisms underlying the effects of ASMs administration.

    Levetiracetam has been associated with behavioral disruption, especially in patients with fixed brain lesions; consideration should be given to withdrawal of this agent in selected settings with substitution when appropriate. Continuous video-EEG monitoring and careful attention to event semiology is helpful to discern whether events are likely to represent epileptiform activity.
