Background Hemiplegic migraine is a rare form of migraine with aura characterized by motor aura. Although auras in hemiplegic migraine are typically complex with two or more aura symptoms, neglect has been rarely described. Case report We report the case of a 20-year-old woman with sporadic hemiplegic migraine that was investigated for the presence of unilateral spatial neglect (USN) during aura in one of her migraine attacks. Transient hemispatial neglect was observed during a right-sided migraine attack with left sensory-motor hemisyndrome; after migraine resolution there was a total recovery. Conclusions Our case demonstrates that USN may be a symptom of aura. To our knowledge, this is the first report of USN during aura in an adult with sporadic hemiplegic migraine.

Nonconvulsive status epilepticus can manifest as personality changes and psychosis. We report an 87-year-old right-handed male presenting with both Capgras syndrome and severe unilateral spatial neglect during nonconvulsive status epilepticus. After treatment of his seizures, his Capgras syndrome and hemispatial neglect resolved. This case illustrates a report of the confluence of Capgras syndrome and documented hemispatial neglect in nonconvulsive status epilepticus only reported once previously [1].

Az ovarialis strumák a petefészek-teratomák kevesebb mint 3%-át adják. Megjelenhet bennük a pajzsmirigy szinte minden betegsége, és előfordulhat malignitás is. A szerzők esetében egy 31 éves nő bal oldali petefészekcisztáját távolították el, amely az ovariumcarcinoma klinikai tüneteit mutatta, úgymint nagy hasi térfoglalás, ascites, emelkedett szérum-CA 125-szint. A szövettani diagnózis benignus struma ovarii volt. A posztoperatív pajzsmirigyműködés normális maradt.
