Abstract
INTRODUCTION White matter lesions (WML) on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are common in clinical practice. When analyzing WML, radiologists sometimes propose a pathophysiological mechanism to explain the observed MRI abnormalities, which can be a source of anxiety for patients. In some cases, discordance may appear between the patient's clinical symptoms and the identification of the MRI-appearing WML, leading to extensive diagnostic work-up. To avoid misdiagnosis, the analysis of WML should be standardized, and a consensual MRI reading approach is needed. OBJECTIVE To analyze the MRI WML identification process, associated diagnosis approach, and misinterpretations in physicians involved in WML routine practice. METHODS Through a survey distributed online to practitioners involved in WML diagnostic work-up, we described the leading causes of MRI expertise misdiagnosis and associated factors: clinical experience, physicians' subspecialty and location of practice, and type of device used to complete the survey. The survey consisted of sixteen T2-weighted images MRI analysis, from which ten were guided (binary response to lesion location identification), four were not shown (multiple possible answers), and two were associated with dissemination in space (DIS) McDonald criteria application. Two independent, experienced practitioners determined the correct answers before the participants' completion. RESULTS In total, 364 participants from the French Neuro Radiological (SFNR), French Neurological (SFN), and French Multiple Sclerosis (SFSEP) societies completed the survey entirely. According to lesion identification, 34.3% and 16.9% of the participants correctly identified juxtacortical and periventricular lesions, respectively, whereas 56.3% correctly identified non-guided lesions. Application of the 2017 McDonald's DIS criteria was correct for 35.3% of the participants. According to the global survey scoring, factors independently associated with correct answers in multivariate analysis were MS-expert subspecialty (P<0.001), young clinical practitioners (P=0.02), and the use of a computer instead of a smartphone to perform WML analysis (P=0.03). CONCLUSION Our results highlight the difficulties regarding WML analysis in clinical practice and suggest that radiologists and neurologists should rely on each other to ensure the diagnosis of multiple sclerosis and related disorders and limit misdiagnoses.

Abstract
The frequency of switches between Disease Modifying Therapies (DMTs) in Multiple Sclerosis (MS) has increased considerably over previous years. Between fingolimod and anti-CD20 therapies, a 1-month washout period is usually recommended. However, disease reactivations are frequent after fingolimod (Fg) cessation. Using a retrospective observational monocentric exposed/non-exposed cohort study, we investigated the efficacy and the safety of a shorter washout period (WP) between Fg and anti-CD20. We compared two groups: 25 patients with a short WP (<21 days) and 20 patients with a longer WP (>21 days). We observed no reactivation during WP in patients with a short WP against a relapse in 55% of patients in the longer group. Moreover, clinical and biological safety was excellent. Based on these findings, we recommend a shorter WP between fingolimod and anti-CD20 therapies in MS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Multiple sclerosis (MS) is associated with regulatory T cells (Tregs) insufficiency while low-dose interleukin-2 (IL2LD) activates Tregs and reduces disease activity in autoimmune diseases. METHODS We aimed at addressing whether IL2LD improved Tregs from MS patients. MS-IL2 was a single-center double-blind phase-2 study. Thirty patients (mean [SD] age 36.8 years [8.3], 16 female) with relapsing-remitting MS with new MRI lesions within 6 months before inclusion were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to placebo or IL-2 at 1 million IU, daily for 5 days and then fortnightly for 6 months. The primary endpoint was change in Tregs at day-5. RESULTS Unlike previous trials of IL2LD in more than 20 different autoimmune diseases, Tregs were not expanded at day-5 in IL2LD group, but only at day-15 (median [IQR] fold change from baseline: 1.26 [1.21-1.33] in IL2LD group; 1.01 [0.95-1.05] in placebo group, p < 0.001). At day-5, however, Tregs had acquired an activated phenotype (fold change of CD25 expression in Tregs: 2.17 [1.70-3.55] in IL2LD versus 0.97 [0.86-1.28] in placebo group, p < 0.0001). Regulator/effector T cells ratio remained elevated throughout treatment period in the IL2LD group (p < 0.001). Number of new active brain lesions and of relapses tended to be reduced in IL2LD treated patients, but the difference did not reach significance in this trial not powered to detect clinical efficacy. CONCLUSION The effect of IL2LD on Tregs in MS patients was modest and delayed, compared to other auto-immune diseases. This, together with findings that Tregs improve remyelination in MS models and recent reports of IL2LD efficacy in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, warrants larger studies of IL2LD in MS, notably with increased dosages and/or modified modalities of administration.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Viral, bacterial, or fungal infections are suspected of triggering multiple sclerosis (MS) and promoting relapses of the disease and are likely to be promoted by immune-active treatments. This raises questions about the infectious workup and preventive treatment of these infections prior to their initiation. OBJECTIVES To establish recommendations on infections and MS. Provide information to patients and healthcare professionals on the minimal infectious workup to be performed in an MS patient at diagnosis and prior to initiation of immuno-active therapy in MS. METHODS The recommendation attempts to answer four main questions about infections and MS. The French Group for Recommendations in Multiple Sclerosis (France4MS) did a systematic review of articles from PubMed and universities databases (from January 1975 to June 2020), using the RAND/UCLA formalized consensus method. The RAND/UCLA method has been developed to synthesize the scientific literature and expert opinions on health care topics and was used for reaching a formal agreement. Twenty-three experts contributed to the detailed review and a group of 63 multidisciplinary health professionals validated the final version of 36 recommendations. RESULTS It is recommended that MS patients undergo a minimal infectious workup, check their vaccination status at diagnosis, and repeat it during follow-up and before starting immunotherapy. Screening and preventive treatment of viral (group Herpes virus, HPV, JCV, HCV, HBV), bacterial (mycobacteria) and fungal (Cryptococcus) infections is recommended prior to the initiation of certain immuno-active MS therapies. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS At diagnosis of MS and prior to the choice of therapeutic strategy, it is recommended to update the vaccination schedule of MS patients in reference to the HCSP vaccination schedule and the SFSEP recommendations. Before starting immunosuppressive treatment, it is recommended to inform patients of the risks of infections and to look for a constitutive or acquired immune deficiency. Health professionals and patients should be informed of the updated recommendations on infections and MS.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Establish recommendations for the management of UTIs in MS patients. BACKGROUND Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are common during multiple sclerosis (MS) and are one of the most common comorbidities potentially responsible for deaths from urinary sepsis. METHODS The recommendations attempt to answer three main questions about UTIs and MS. The French Group for Recommendations in MS (France4MS) did a systematic review of articles from PubMed and universities databases (01/1980-12/2019). The RAND/UCLA appropriateness method, which has been developed to synthesize the scientific literature and expert opinions on health care topics, was used for reaching a formal agreement. 26 MS experts worked on the full-text review and a group of 70 multidisciplinary health care specialists validated the final evaluation of summarized evidences. RESULTS UTIs are not associated with an increased risk of relapse and permanent worsening of disability. Only febrile UTIs worsen transient disability through the Uhthoff phenomenon. Some immunosuppressive treatments increase the risk of UTIs in MS patients and require special attention especially in case of hypogammaglobulinemia. Experts recommend to treat UTIs in patients with MS, according to recommendations of the general population. Prevention of recurrent UTIs requires stabilization of the neurogenic bladder. In some cases, weekly oral cycling antibiotics can be proposed after specialist advice. Asymptomatic bacteriuria should not be screened for or treated systematically except in special cases (pregnancy and invasive urological procedures). CONCLUSION Physicians and patients should be aware of the updated recommendations for UTis and MS.

Abstract
Our knowledge of the radiological spectrum of myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody associated disease (MOGAD) is growing rapidly. An update on the radiological features of the disease, and its evolution is thus necessary. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has an increasingly important role in the differential diagnosis of MOGAD particularly from aquaporin-4 antibody-positive neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (AQP4-NMOSD), and multiple sclerosis (MS). Differentiating these conditions is of prime importance because the management is different between the three inflammatory diseases, and thus could prevent further attack-related disability. Therefore, identifying the MRI features suggestive of MOGAD has diagnostic and prognostic implications. We herein review optic nerve, spinal cord and the brain MRI findings from MOGAD adult patients, and compare them to AQP4-NMOSD and MS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Three different sets of criteria have been proposed for the diagnosis of neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD). The objective was to compare the specificity, sensitivity and diagnostic accuracy of the three different sets of NMOSD criteria in patients presenting with inflammatory disorders of the central nervous system suggestive of NMOSD. METHODS For 236 suspected NMOSD patients referred for serum aquaporin-4 immunoglobulin G antibody (AQP4-IgG) testing between 2012 and 2014, the three sets of NMOSD criteria [1999, 2006 NMO criteria and 2015 International Panel for NMO Diagnosis (IPND) criteria] were applied and compared to the final diagnosis. RESULTS Seventy-six patients fulfilled at least one set of criteria and 28 patients fulfilled all NMOSD sets of criteria. The final diagnosis was NMOSD in 66 cases, multiple sclerosis according to the MacDonald 2010 criteria in 85 cases and another diagnosis in 85 cases. The 2006 NMO criteria have the highest specificity (99%) and the 2015 IPND NMOSD criteria the highest sensitivity (97%). For the 1999, 2006 and 2015 IPND NMOSD criteria, the accuracy was respectively 82%, 87% and 97%. CONCLUSIONS Our study highlights the limitations of the first set of criteria that include the optico-spinal form of multiple sclerosis. The accuracy of NMOSD diagnostic criteria improved from 1999 to 2015. It confirms the increased performance of the last set of criteria which covers a larger spectrum of clinical presentation. This study raises some concerns for classifying patients with seronegative transverse myelitis or optic neuritis, and myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) antibody- associated disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cognitive impairment is frequent in multiple sclerosis (MS), affecting approximately 40 to 70% of patients. We developed a psycho-educational program (ADACOG program) to allow patients to cope with cognitive deficits. The purpose of this exploratory study was to investigate the impact of the ADACOG program on subjective self-reported cognitive impairments, quality of life, anxiety, depression and self-esteem in MS patients. METHODS ADACOG program is a psycho-educational program focusing on cognitive and emotional dysfunctions in MS consisting of three modules in small groups lasting two hours every two weeks. Forty-five MS patients with self-reported cognitive impairments and objective cognitive deficits were enrolled consecutively in two groups: (i) the ADACOG group (N=24) and (ii) the control group (N=21). Both groups of patients completed questionnaires evaluating self-reported cognitive impairments (Multiple Sclerosis Neuropsychological Screening Questionnaire), quality of life (Multiple Sclerosis Impact Scale), anxiety and depression (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, HAD) and self-esteem (Rosenberg Scale) at inclusion (M0), one month later (M1) and seven months after inclusion (M7). The evolution of outcomes within ADACOG group and between both groups was analyzed. RESULTS The analyses within the ADACOG group showed that patients reported better quality of life and fewer anxiety symptoms at M1 compared to M0 (respectively P=0.03 and P=0,04). Moreover, patients presented less subjective self-reported cognitive deficits at M7 compared to M0 (P=0.003). Score evolution for HAD depression and self-esteem were not significant within the ADACOG group. The change M1-M0 for MSIS-29 and HAD anxiety scores was significantly different between both groups (respectively P=0.04 and P=0.008), with improvement of quality of life and anxiety in the ADACOG group. The evolution of scores between groups was not significant for the other outcomes. DISCUSSION This study showed a small effect of a psycho-educational program focusing on cognitive and emotional disorders in MS patients with subjective self-reported cognitive deficits and objective cognitive deficits. Interest of psycho-education focusing on cognition in MS patients is discussed.

Abstract
To determine long-term treatment (LTT) of neuromyelitis optica (NMO), we retrospectively reviewed therapies of 26 patients with NMO followed in five French neurological departments. To assess LTT efficacy, the probability of relapse free after LTT was analysed. Patients were divided into two groups according to the first treatment receiving interferon beta (IFN Group, seven patients) or immunosuppressants (IS Group, 19 patients). The probability of relapse was significantly lower in the IS Group (P = 0.0007). From our results, interferon beta is not recommended, and one of the best current therapeutic options for NMO appears to be immunosuppressants.

Abstract
Background: Despite a growing use of rituximab (RTX) in neuromyelitis optica (NMO), data are lacking in patients with refractory NMO (RNMO), defined as cases with at least one relapse during immunosuppressive therapy. Objective: The purpose of this study was to assess RTX as a maintenance therapy in RNMO. Methods: Out of a total of 305 NMO cases from a population-based cohort, 21 RNMO patients received RTX during a mean follow-up period of 31 months. Results: After RTX, 11 patients (52.3%) were relapse free, meaning that 47.7% were refractory to RTX. The mean annualized relapse rate decreased from 1.3 to 0.4 ( p<0.001) and median EDSS from 5 to 3 ( p=0.02). Body mass index (BMI) was predictive of EDSS worsening. Conclusions: RTX is an effective and well-tolerated treatment in RNMO. BMI could be a predictive factor for efficacy.

Abstract
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a complex disease of the central nervous system (CNS), characterized by CNS-restricted inflammation with subsequent demyelination and neurodegeneration. Current disease-modifying therapies efficiently reduce relapse rate and new lesions appearance, but still fail to impact the progressive course of the disease. There is a great need for the avenue of new therapies aimed at promoting myelin repair or reducing neurodegeneration that should result in the prevention of neurological disability in this chronic disease. This review will focus on the potentials and limitations of biotherapies that are currently developed for the promotion of CNS repair in MS, either monoclonal antibodies targeting axonal growth and remyelination, or cell therapies aimed at replacing the depleted myelinating cells within the CNS. As other researches aimed at promoting neuroprotection or remyelination are following a classical pharmacological approach, they will not be described in this review, which will focus on antibody-based therapies and cell therapies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to investigate whether the quadrivalent human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine Gardasil is associated with a change in the risk of autoimmune disorders (ADs) in young female subjects. DESIGN Systematic case-control study of incident ADs associated with quadrivalent HPV vaccination in young women across France. PARTICIPANTS AND SETTING A total of 113 specialised centres recruited (from December 2007 to April 2011) females aged 14-26 years with incident cases of six types of ADs: idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), central demyelination/multiple sclerosis (MS), Guillain-Barré syndrome, connective tissue disorders (systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis/juvenile arthritis), type 1 diabetes mellitus and autoimmune thyroiditis. Control subjects matched to cases were recruited from general practice. ANALYSIS Multivariate conditional logistic regression analysis; factors included age, geographical origin, smoking, alcohol consumption, use of oral contraceptive(s) or vaccine(s) other than Gardasil received within 24 months before the index date and personal/family history of ADs. RESULTS Overall, 211 definite cases of ADs were matched to 875 controls. The adjusted odds ratio (OR) for any quadrivalent HPV vaccine use was 0.9 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.5-1.5]. The individual ORs were 1.0 (95% CI 0.4-2.6) for ITP, 0.3 (95% CI 0.1-0.9) for MS, 0.8 (95% CI 0.3-2.4) for connective disorders and 1.2 (95% CI 0.4-3.6) for type 1 diabetes. No exposure to HPV vaccine was observed in cases with either Guillain-Barré syndrome or thyroiditis. CONCLUSIONS No evidence of an increase in the risk of the studied ADs was observable following vaccination with Gardasil within the time periods studied. There was insufficient statistical power to allow conclusions to be drawn regarding individual ADs.

BACKGROUND Few data are available for patients with a late onset (≥ 50 years) of neuromyelitis optica (LONMO) or neuromyelitis optica spectrum disease (LONMOSD), defined by an optic neuritis/longitudinally extensive transverse myelitis with aquaporin-4 antibodies (AQP4-Ab). OBJECTIVE To characterize LONMO and LONMOSD, and to analyze their predictive factors of disability and death. METHODS We identified 430 patients from four cohorts of NMO/NMOSD in France, Germany, Turkey and UK. We extracted the late onset patients and analyzed them for predictive factors of disability and death, using the Cox proportional model. RESULTS We followed up on 63 patients with LONMO and 45 with LONMOSD during a mean of 4.6 years. This LONMO/LONMOSD cohort was mainly of Caucasian origin (93%), women (80%), seropositive for AQP4-Ab (85%) and from 50 to 82.5 years of age at onset. No progressive course was noted. At last follow-up, the median Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) scores were 5.5 and 6 in the LONMO and LONMOSD groups, respectively. Outcome was mainly characterized by motor disability and relatively good visual function. At last follow-up, 14 patients had died, including seven (50%) due to acute myelitis and six (43%) because of opportunistic infections. The EDSS 4 score was independently predicted by an older age at onset, as a continuous variable after 50 years of age. Death was predicted by two independent factors: an older age at onset and a high annualized relapse rate. CONCLUSION LONMO/LONMOSD is particularly severe, with a high rate of motor impairment and death.

Abstract
We report the case of a woman with multiple sclerosis who developed a severe neurological condition following natalizumab (NZB) withdrawal and soon after fingolimod (FTY) initiation. FTY was started 3.5 months after a two-year NZB treatment. Fifteen days later, she suffered partial repetitive seizures followed by a tonicoclonic seizure. This was associated with attention difficulties and an increased asthenia. Brain MRI follow-up disclosed large demyelinating active lesions in favour of disease reactivation. This case suggests that FTY introduction may occur less than three months after NZB withdrawal.

Abstract
Non-medicinal treatments of spasticity may be proposed in patients with multiple sclerosis as either an adjunct to pharmacological treatments or the first line of treatment. Assessment of non-medicinal treatments, whether manual, surgical or with instrumentation, shows it to be beneficial for limb spasticity. Studies also reveal that, contrary to expectations, physical exercise does not increase spasticity. This means that physical exercise may be prioritized and that sports practice should not be forbidden, provided that the patient has an adequate neurological status and takes sufficient breaks to avoid fatigue.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of our study was to assess the influence of pregnancy on the course of neuromyelitis optica (NMO) and the impact of epidural analgesia and breastfeeding on its activity in the postpartum period. METHODS We performed a retrospective study of patients with NMO diagnosed according to Wingerchuk criteria. We noted the number of relapses during the year before pregnancy (BP), during pregnancy (first trimester, second trimester, third trimester), and the year after (Y + 1: first trimester, second trimester [PP2], and third and fourth trimesters postpartum). Epidural analgesia and breastfeeding were recorded. Disability was evaluated with the Kurtzke Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS). The annualized relapse rate (ARR) was calculated. RESULTS We identified 124 patients (85 female) in the French NOMADMUS cohort on November 1, 2010. A total of 20 women (including 25 pregnancies) were informative with complete files. Comparisons between the ARR of each period and BP (1.0 ± 0.09) only showed an increased tendency for PP2 (0.8 ± 0.06, p = 0.07). Epidural analgesia and breastfeeding had no influence on the course of NMO. The EDSS score increased from 1.5 ± 1.7 BP to 2.6 ± 1.9 Y + 1 (p = 0.027). CONCLUSION This study shows that pregnancy influences the activity of NMO, a finding that justifies close medical monitoring. We found no evidence to suggest that either epidural analgesia or breastfeeding has an aggravating effect on NMO.

Abstract
We report the case of a young woman with multiple sclerosis who discontinued natalizumab twice and experienced a severe relapse following each natalizumab withdrawal. The first relapse was successfully treated by intravenous methylprednisolone (IVMP). In contrast the second relapse was unresponsive to IVMP. Subsequent treatment by plasma exchanges (PLEX) was followed by a dramatic neurological worsening. This case suggests that PLEX after natalizumab discontinuation may increase relapse severity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Neuromyelitis optica (NMO) is a rare inflammatory disease. Average age at onset is 35 years. Few data exist on patients with pediatric-onset NMO (p-NMO), with disease onset before age 18 years. We report the clinical and paraclinical features and long-term outcome of patients with p-NMO and compare them with a large adult-onset NMO (a-NMO) cohort. METHODS We performed a retrospective, multicenter study of patients with p-NMO in pediatric and adult medical centers. We identified 125 patients with NMO (12 p-NMO; 113 a-NMO) fulfilling the 2006 criteria. Data were collected using hospital files and standardized assessment forms for NMO. RESULTS Patients with p-NMO were followed up during a mean 19.3 years. Median age at onset was 14.5 years (4.1-17.9) with a female:male ratio of 3:1. Three patients (25%) fulfilled Paty criteria for multiple sclerosis on first brain MRI, including one patient with acute disseminated encephalomyelitis. Median interval between onset and residual Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) score 4 was 20.7 years, score 6 was 26 years, and score 7 was 28.7 years. Median interval between onset and residual visual loss ≤1/10 was 1.3 years. Compared with a-NMO, p-NMO showed a longer time to EDSS scores 4 and 6, largely explained by the severity of the first myelitis in the a-NMO group. Time to first treatment was longer in the p-NMO group (13.1 vs 3.4 years). CONCLUSION Patients with p-NMO can present a diffuse inflammatory process on first brain MRI and have a longer time to disability than patients with a-NMO.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There have been few epidemiologic studies on neuromyelitis optica (NMO) and none used the recent 2006 diagnostic criteria. Here we describe the clinical, laboratory, MRI, and disability course of NMO in a French cohort of 125 patients. METHODS We performed an observational, retrospective, multicenter study. Data were collected from September 2007 through August 2008, corresponding to the endpoint of the study. We identified 125 patients fulfilling the 2006 NMO criteria. Selection was made using hospital files and a specific clinical questionnaire for NMO. RESULTS Mean age at onset was 34.5 years (range 4-66) with a mean disease duration of 10 +/- 7.8 years at the endpoint. The patients were mainly (87%) Caucasian, with a female:male ratio of 3:1. In 90% of cases, the association of optic neuritis, longitudinal extensive myelitis, and a Paty-negative initial brain MRI was sufficient to fulfill the supportive criteria. Eighty-eight percent of patients were treated with immunosuppressive therapies. Median delay from onset to Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) score 4 was 7 years; score 6, 10 years; and score 7, 21 years. The first episode of myelitis was immediately followed by an EDSS score > or = 4 in 37.3% of cases, and a severe residual visual loss was observed in 22% of patients after the first episode of optic neuritis. Multivariate analysis did not reveal any predictors of a poor evolution other than a high number of MRI brain lesions at diagnosis, which were predictive of a residual visual acuity < or = 1/10. CONCLUSIONS Our demographic data provide new data on disability in patients with neuromyelitis optica, most of whom were receiving treatment.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is a genetic disorder caused by expanded CTG repeats within the 3' untranslated region of the dystrophia myotonia protein kinase (DMPK) gene on chromosome 19. Diplopia is rare in this disease and has only been reported in patients with diffuse neuromuscular disorders. OBSERVATION We report here on the case of a 58-year-old woman in whom ophthalmoplegia was the first neuromuscular manifestation of DM1 and led to the diagnosis. Among the multisystem abnormalities associated with DM1, muscle-related symptoms are prominent, and usually involve the facial and neck muscles early on in the disease. This case provides additional evidence of oculomotor muscle involvement in DM1. CONCLUSION DM1 should, therefore, be considered during the diagnostic workup of any unexplained ophthalmoplegia of muscle origin, especially if there has been a previous history of cataract, even in the absence of typical muscle-related features.

Abstract
We report a patient with an isolated large upbeat nystagmus (UBN) in the primary position of gaze. Eye movements were filmed and recorded using electro-oculography. The upward vestibulo-ocular reflex gain, evaluated by pitching the head forward, was markedly reduced compared to when pitching the head back. The lesion was a probable lacunar infarction located in the paramedian and posterior part of the basis pontis, at the upper pons level. This UBN case, with one of the smallest brainstem lesions reported so far, supports the existence in humans of the crossing ventral tegmental tract, described in the cat and transmitting excitatory upward vestibular signals to the third nerve nucleus. It is also suggested that the decussation of this tract lies at the same upper pons level as in the cat but in a slightly more ventral location, i.e. in the posterior basis pontis.

Abstract
Despite an extensive diagnostic workup, some cases of acute transverse myelitis (ATM) remain of unknown etiology and have been referred to as "idiopathic" by the Transverse Myelitis Consortium group. In a retrospective study of 288 patients with ATM, 45 cases (15.6%) met the criteria for idiopathic ATM. The patients formed a relatively homogeneous group in terms of clinical and MRI data, but the prognosis was highly variable.

Abstract
We report a case of a 73-year-old patient with complete ophthalmoplegia following an episode of ophthalmic herpes zoster. MRI showed an associated ipsilateral temporal meningioma with cavernous sinus extension. We discuss the possible responsibility of these two conditions in the ocular motor signs.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Balo's concentric sclerosis is a neuropathological type of multiple sclerosis characterized by alternating rings of spared myelin and demyelination. Diagnosis is based on MRI, but very few data are available concerning the lesion features using serial proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-MRS). METHODS We report 1H-MRS initial findings and disease course in one case of Balo's concentric sclerosis. RESULTS The first 1H-MRS study of 2 concentric ring-enhanced lesions showed a decreased N-acetyl-aspartate (NAA) peak, an increased choline peak, 2 broad lactate peaks and the presence of a lipid peak at 0.9 ppm. Six months later, 1H-MRS showed a decrease of choline peak, whereas the lactate peak had disappeared. The NAA peak was still at a low level. CONCLUSION These findings are similar to those reported in demyelinating disorders, such as multiple sclerosis. Thus, in Balo's concentric sclerosis, 1H-MRS may provide neurochemical arguments for inflammation and demyelination, and indicate the severity of axonal damage and recovery.

Abstract
We report a case of Susac's syndrome characterized by subacute encephalopathy, bilateral hearing loss and multiple bilateral branch retinal artery occlusions in a forty-year-old-white-woman. Brain Magnetic Resonance Imaging showed on T2-weighted images multiple, punctate areas of increased signal intensity in periventricular white matter, gray matter and brainstem most of them being enhanced by gadolinium. Cerebrospinal fluid was acellular but with an increased protein level (1.66 g/l). Treatment with cyclophosphamid and intravenous immmunoglobulin resulted in dramatic improvement of the clinical status over the following months and CSF normalization.

Abstract
Two cases of neuropathic arthropathy of the hip are reported. One was the first manifestation of tabes dorsalis in a 74-year-old man, whereas the second occurred in a 47-year-old woman with a history of spina bifida and L2-L5 epidural lipoma. Radiographic joint destruction occurred within five and three months, respectively. The main clinical and radiological features of neuropathic arthropathy are reviewed, and diagnostic pitfalls are discussed. There are no specific laboratory tests or histologic findings. This now rare condition should be routinely considered in patients with severe joint destruction contrasting with minimal pain. The reasons for the decision to use trochanteric-iliac coaptation in one of our patients and a wait-and-see approach in the other are explained. The literature is reviewed. Ten cases treated by joint replacement have been reported. However, neither joint replacement nor arthrodesis seem capable of restoring satisfactory hip function.
