Sight-threatening IIH: stent or shunt? We still don’t know which is better. No randomised trials, variable data, and practice driven by local expertise. An answer may be on the horizon. 🔗 pn.bmj.com/content/26/2/1… #Neurology #Neuroophthalmology #FOAMed

Do you counsel patients on HLH when starting lamotrigine? Rare, but life-threatening. Think the “3 Fs”: fever, falling counts, ferritin. Two cases progressed to multiorgan failure within days of initiation. 🔗 pn.bmj.com/content/26/2/1… #Neurology #Epilepsy

Adult Dravet syndrome is under-recognised and worth revisiting in anyone with drug-resistant epilepsy + ID. Diagnosis matters when it comes to treatment, see figure for a practical approach. 🔗 pn.bmj.com/content/26/2/1… #Neurology #Epilepsy
