Description Chronic subdural haematoma (CSDH) refers to a localized accumulation of blood and fluid on the brain surface, and it typically becomes apparent three weeks or longer following a head injury (1). The following case demonstrates an 80-year-old female patient who presented to the neurosurgery department with a history of head injury due to

Introduction Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease with terminal-stage functional decline characterized by loss of basic daily functional abilities in the final stage of the disease (1). A comprehensive management plan should be developed as soon as possible after AD is diagnosed (1). This plan should include cholinest

Introduction Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is associated with multiple symptoms that patients experience over the course of the disease, and treatment focuses on the selection and provision of appropriate treatments for these symptoms (1).

Variability in presentation, evolving symptom profiles, and communication gaps can complicate clinical judgment, delay definitive diagnosis, a

Introduction: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is characterized by both relapse‑driven inflammation and slow, smouldering neurodegenerative processes (1). In some individuals, including those with non‑relapsing secondary progressive MS (nrSPMS), disability may worsen despite stable MRI findings and absence of relapses (1). This silent progression often refl

Introduction: Relapsing multiple sclerosis (RMS) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the central nervous system characterized by recurrent episodes of neurological dysfunction and progressive accumulation of disability (1). Despite the availability of several disease-modifying therapies (DMTs), unmet needs remain, particularly in addressing compar
