MS in Asian countries.

This paper reviews all available English language literature on MS from Asian countries published between 1970 and 2005. Although limited data are available, the review reveals that western Asia--including the Middle East--has the highest prevalence of MS across the continent, and that MS in Asia largely resembles conventional MS in western countries. Opticospinal MS (a distinct clinical entity from conventional MS) is more common in eastern Asian regions. Larger epidemiological and genetic studies, with more complete ascertainment in various Asian populations, are needed so that we can understand the diversity of Asian MS.

Factor XI deficiency-related spontaneous primary intraventricular hemorrhage.

Factor XI deficiency (plasma thromboplastin antecedent deficiency) is a rare autosomal-dominant disorder. Neurologic complications in factor XI deficiency are even rarer. We propose that the factor XI deficiency in our patient contributed to a primary intraventricular hemorrhage.

Chronic subdural haematoma presenting with transient ischaemic attacks--a case report.

We report a middle-aged man who presented with repeated episodes of transient ischaemic attacks (TIA) in the setting of a chronic subdural haematoma. This case report discusses the various pathophysiologic mechanisms whereby such TIA may occur in chronic subdural haematoma. We also highlight the importance of cranial imaging in cases of TIA.
