Abstract

Background: Fahr's syndrome (FS) is a movement and psychiatric disorder characterized by symmetrical and bilateral calcification of the basal ganglia. Dissociative amnesia is a rare psychiatric disorder that occurs after stressful events and is classified as a dissociative disorder. In addition, dissociation is the process by which the mind conceals stressful events from consciousness. Several neuropsychiatric manifestations in FS have been reported. However, due to their rarity, FS and dissociative amnesia can be misdiagnosed. Case: A 43-year-old female presented with Parkinsonian symptoms and an inability to recall important personal information. FS and dissociative amnesia were diagnosed after a thorough medical, psychiatric, and diagnostic investigation. Subsequently, correction of calcium and phosphate levels by α-hydroxy-vitamin-73 D3 and psychotherapy were administered for two-months until there were no neuropsychiatric symptoms reported. Conclusion: This research highlights a rare case of FS with dissociative amnesia which pathophysiology is not completely understood due to limited research.

Abstract

Background: Omphalopagus is a rare condition involving digestive system and abdominal wall fusion. This study reports an omphalopagus case during the early phase of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic in Indonesia.Case: Male conjoined twins, aged 14 months, were diagnosed with omphalopagus and several organ failures. We performed separation surgery of the omphalopagus with primary closure and post-surgical care for fifteen days. The early surgery was preferable in this case due to life-threatening issues of COVID-19, despite omphalopagus separation may cause post-surgical complications. Furthermore, the emerging pandemic conditions also required a more stringent procedure to avoid the risk of viral spread.Conclusion: We conclude that, in the lack of evidence-based instruction for hospital care during the early phase of COVID-19 in Indonesia, life-saving surgical considerations from death due to complications of COVID-19 infection and acute respiratory distress syndrome must be performed and prioritized. However, potential omphalopagus complications must be evaluated.

Abstract

Citicoline has a neuroprotectant effect, especially in mild-to-moderate stroke. The presence of the ε4 allele in the ApoE gene is associated with a severe acute ischemic stroke (AIS) phenotype, in addition to neurodegenerative risk This study aims to determine the effect of citicoline on cognitive and motoric recovery in severe AIS biomolecularly, such as ApoE4 rs429358 and rs7412 polymorphisms. A 64-year-old woman was diagnosed with AIS with a 6-hour onset and with a NIHSS score of 25 and MMSE score of 21. The patient’s AIS was biomolecularly severe as proven by PCR-RFLP (polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism) ApoE4 which yielded 482 bp at rs429358 (codon 112) and 249 bp 167 bp at rs7412 (codon 158) on electrophoretic visualization. The patient received 3x 500 mg intravenous citicoline for 4 days followed by another 1000 mg of citicoline intravenous during polyclinic control for 5 consecutive days. On the 9th day, the patient experienced improvement in cognitive function with an MMSE score of 29 and superior (4/5) and inferior (5/5) motoric strength. Citicoline is a neuroprotectant agent that is beneficial for the recovery of cognitive and motoric function in biomolecularly severe SIA (ApoE4, C/C, Arg112/Arg158) because it can save the penumbra area from infarction.
