MLD is caused by an accumulation of sulfatides in various organs and predominantly the central nervous system (CNS). Patients have an initial period of normal development, then experience developmental delay or stagnation (Figure 1).

In glioblastoma (GB), patients’ reliable response assessment criteria are crucial in order to accurately compare the responsiveness of different therapies in clinical trials, and to differentiate between therapy-induced changes and true tumour progression.

This year’s European Academy of Neurology (EAN) Congress offered a plethora of sessions in different areas of neurology.

Brain tumour-related epilepsy (BTRE) is associated with diffuse lower-grade gliomas (DLGG) in up to 70–90% of cases.

Non-dystrophic myotonias (NDM) are a group of rare muscle disorders with a reported prevalence of 0.75−1.7 per 100,000 population (Figure 1).

Seizure unpredictability is consistently reported as one of the most disabling aspects of living with chronic epilepsy. Reliable forecasting systems could have far-reaching consequences for patients, from allowing protection at times of high seizure risk to improving confidence during everyday life at times of low seizure risk.

Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) applied over the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex has shown to transiently improve the level of consciousness of severely brain-injured patients in disorders of consciousness, and seems to be effective especially for patients in minimally conscious state (MCS) compared with patients in unresponsive wakefulness syndrome.
