Dissociations and similarities in motor intention and motor awareness: the case of anosognosia for hemiplegia and motor neglect.
To confront motor awareness in anosognosia for hemiplegia (AHP), where paralyzed patients deny their motor impairment, and in motor neglect (MN), where non-paralyzed patients behave as if they were paretic. ⋯ Although different in terms of motor intention and motor planning, AHP and MN are both characterised by anosognosia for the motor impairment.

Case ReportsNeurological manifestations of phaeochromocytomas and secretory paragangliomas: a reappraisal.
To determine the frequency and range of neurological manifestations of phaeochromocytomas and secretory paragangliomas. ⋯ Neurological manifestations of phaeochromocytomas and secretory paragangliomas were common, and these tumours can present with various neurological manifestations. The paroxysmal symptoms can be incorrectly attributed to other headache syndromes, panic attacks or cerebral vasculitis. RCVS may play a role in the pathogenesis of the neurological symptoms associated with acute crises and paroxysmal attacks.
