Neuro-Behcet’s disease (NBD) is defined as neurological involvement in Behcet’s disease. A 32-year-old man was admitted due to sudden memory impairment and had a history of recurrent oral/genital ulcers. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed ischemic lesions in the bilateral fornix and left thalamus, and high-resolution vessel wall MRI demonstrated vasculitis in the anterior communicating artery. We report a rare case of NBD that presented as vasculitis and ischemic stroke in the bilateral fornix and thalamus.

The continuing growth of population aged 65 years and above, the socioeconomic burden of long-term care insurance has consistently increased. This study aimed to review the current system and efficiently develop long-term care insurance services according to changes in socioeconomic situations. First, a 21 items questionnaire survey was conducted from August 16 to August 31, 2022, for all members of the Korean Neurological Association. The survey was divided into seven areas, and individualized results were analyzed. Second, cumulative data on long-term care insurance services were collected and analyzed from July 1, 2008 to December 31, 2021, for the National Health Insurance system, and the results were summarized. In the survey, approximately 21% of the neurologists answered a web-based questionnaire survey on current doctors’ referral slips for long-term insurance services. Most (94%) had doctor referral slips for long-term insurance services. However, the authors estimated that doctors’ referral slips did not sufficiently affect the grading of longterm insurance services. The long-term care insurance services data according to several categories were classified and then, we statistically analyzed the socioeconomic burden of long-term insurance. Those cumulative data showed a gradual increase in the recipient number, diversity of geriatric diseases, and socioeconomic burden. We suggested that it is necessary for the government and academic society to continue to cooperate to develop the long-term care insurance systems for elderly.

Maternally inherited diabetes and deafness (MIDD) is a disorder characterized by the occurrence of diabetes mellitus and hearing impairment at a young age, caused by point mutations in mitochondrial DNA. MIDD can be accompanied by various neurological symptoms. In this patient, memory impairment and ataxia were the predominant neurological symptoms. Herein, we report MIDD patients with the m.3243A>G mutation who present with cognitive decline and gait disturbance at the age of 59.

Although immune checkpoint inhibitor-related encephalitis has been reported, its underlying mechanism and treatment strategies remain unclear. Here, we present the case of a 60-yearold male patient with small cell lung cancer who developed autoimmune encephalitis during treatment with atezolizumab. Notably, this case involved the concurrent detection of two paraneoplastic autoantibodies (anti-Hu and anti-SOX1). Encephalitis was treated by discontinuing atezolizumab and administering steroids, despite the persistence of the antibodies. This case provides insights into the interaction between immune checkpoint inhibitors and paraneoplastic autoantibodies.

Paroxysmal kinesigenic dyskinesia (PKD) is a diagnostic term for transient, involuntary abnormal movements triggered by sudden motions. The treatment for PKD differs from other paroxysmal dyskinesias, as it notably responds well to sodium channel blockers. We report a case of atypical PKD, coupled with paroxysmal exercise-induced dyskinesia (PED). Both PKD and PED in this patient showed a good response to oxcarbazepine. This case could be clinical evidence that paroxysmal dyskinesias could potentially be regarded as a spectrum disorder with overlapping features.
