    Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis with coexisting cancer: a single-center study
    (Springer Heidelberg, 2021) Akan, Onur; Baysal-Kirac, Leyla
    This study investigated the occurrence of malignancy in a cohort of patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Forty-three consecutive ALS patients (mean age 61.3 years, 31 men/12 women) admitted between 2015 and 2019 were enrolled. Clinical, electrophysiologic and outcome features that differentiate cancer-associated ALS from classical ALS were investigated. ALS was associated with cancer in 5 (11.6%) patients. Two patients were diagnosed with non-small cell lung, one with endometrium, one with prostate and one with laryngeal carcinoma. One another patient was diagnosed with monoclonal gammopathy of unknown significance, but she did not develop cancer within 12-month follow-up duration. Two patients had a previous diagnosis of cancer before the diagnosis of ALS. In the remaining 3 patients, cancer was diagnosed at the same time or after the onset of ALS. There was no significant difference with respect to mean age of onset, sex, disease duration, clinical and electrophysiological features and outcome between patients with and without malignancy. None of the patients with cancer survived more than two years after the onset of ALS except one who was diagnosed with flail-leg syndrome before the diagnosis of non-small cell lung carcinoma. ALS is not accepted as a classical paraneoplastic neurological syndrome. Although the association of ALS and cancer seems coincidental, a careful investigation for an underlying cancer is important in patients with ALS. In our patient group with cancer-associated ALS, no distinguishing features were identified.

    COVID-19 associate neurological complications
    (Wolters Kluwer Medknow Publications, 2020) Baysal-Kirac, Leyla; Uysal, Hilmi
    2019-novel Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is a global health problem that affected >2.000.000 people in the world. Although the main component of the disease is pulmonary disturbances, recent reports suggested neurological manifestations. Neurological complications have been rarely reported with other Coronavirus associated diseases. In this short review, we would like to draw attention to COVID-19-related neurological symptoms. Heath-care providers should be aware that COVID-19 can associate neurological manifestations.
