Associations between celiac disease and neurologic symptoms include Cerebellar Ataxia and Peripheral Neuropathy, however studies are limited. Nonetheless, when cause of ataxia is unclear, celiac autoantibodies (tTG IgA) should be tested. Ataxia may improve with gluten-free diet.
Welcome to #neuranki! Neurological manifestations of Celiac disease typically includes __________ even in the absence of gastrointestinal symptoms.

Topiramate is a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor. It promotes stone formation by reducing urinary citrate excretion and increasing urinary pH. This risk is 2 to 4 times higher than in the general population, higher in men. Adequate hydration is however essential to mitigate the risk.

Balint syndrome results from bilateral lesions in the parieto-occipital regions of the brain. These lesions disrupt the neural pathways involved in visual attention and visuomotor coordination resulting in Simultanagnosia, Optic apraxia and Ocular apraxia.
Welcome to #dailyneuranki! Simultanagnosia is defined as inability to preceive more than one object at one time. This is almost pathognomonic in which syndrome?

Sudden-onset headache in a patient with a prior history of idiopathic DVT is concerning for “Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis” While she has a history of migraine, the sudden onset and lack of association with photophobia or phonophobia are suggestive of a more sinister cause.
Welcome to #neuranki! What is the most likely diagnosis in a young woman day 3 after delivery, with prior history of migraine and idiopathic DVT presenting with sudden-onset headaches, with no photophobia and phonophobia, who just had a first seizure?
