\ \ With the outbreak of COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) as a global pandemic, various of its neurological manifestations have been reported. We report a case of a 54-year-old male with new-onset seizure who tested positive for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 from a nasopharyngeal swab sample. Investigative findings, which included contrast-enhancing right posterior temporal lobe T2-hyperintensity on brain magnetic resonance imaging, right-sided lateralized periodic discharges on the electroencephalogram, and elevated protein level on cerebrospinal fluid analysis, supported the diagnosis of possible encephalitis from COVID-19 infection. The findings in this case are placed in the context of the existing literature.](https://app.figure1.com/case-detail/5d162e7e-7989-478d-92b5-fecec0b51a83)

\ \ 69yo F with history of gastroparesis complains of abnormal mouth movements. Two years ago, she developed severe nausea and vomiting. After GI work-up, she was diagnosed with idiopathic gastroparesis. Her nausea and vomiting ultimately resolved after 4 months of treatment with metoclopramide. A couple weeks after discontinuation of metoclopramide, she started to frequently bite her tongue while eating. Over the next month, friends commented that she had started making a new sucking noise with her mouth. The tongue biting has reduced in frequency since the time of onset, however her mouth movements and intermittent tongue biting have persisted since then. She denied difficulties with chewing or swallowing. Neurologic exam was significant for sucking of the lips and side-to-side movements of jaw. Jaw movements were present at rest and worsened while speaking. Aside from abnormal movements of mouth and jaw, the remainder of the neurologic exam was within normal limits. What is the most likely diagnosis?](https://app.figure1.com/case-detail/8ae61353-84c9-4d3d-ae1f-5ed5bee7f9a1)

\ \ According to the 2015 diagnostic criteria for neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD), in aquaporin-4 immunoglobulin G (AQP4-IgG) seronegative patients, NMOSD can be diagnosed if stringent clinical and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) criteria are fulfilled; however, in these cases, diagnostic and therapeutic challenges could arise. A young man presented a severe, bilateral optic neuritis and paraparesis in an acute phase. MRI evidenced 3 spinal cord T1-contrast-enhanced (T1-Gd+) myelitic lesions, extending <3 vertebral segments. AQP4-IgG and oligoclonal bands were negative. Following a relapse, MRI showed 2 T1-Gd+ spinal cord lesions, extending <3 vertebral segments, and a T1-Gd+ lesion in both optic nerves, near their confluence in the chiasm. After administering rituximab, there were no new relapses, with the consequent improvement of the clinical and MRI lesions. The concurrent display of bilateral optic neuritis and short myelitis constitutes a “borderline” case. Rituximab may represent the most appropriate therapeutic choice possible cases of NMOSD.](https://app.figure1.com/case-detail/8def3cf4-43bb-4f66-af12-a0317d7fba5a)

\ \ 70 yo WF with 20y hx HTN lost 21 lbs on a semaglutide but still BMI over 30, shows drop in BP when standing, stabilizing at 102-116 systolic, 65-75 diastolic. Discontinued all HTN meds x 30 days and no episodes of HTN. Could a small weight loss like this cause a drop to normal BP? Has anyone heard of a side effect of lowering BP?](https://app.figure1.com/case-detail/636fd008-29e2-47f4-8ba4-fbee9d527051)
