- Acidente Vascular Cerebral em Doente com Anemia de Células FalciformesPublication . Caridade, S; Machado, A; Ferreira, CStroke in patients with sickle cell anemia is multifactorial but occurs mainly by 2 mechanisms: occlusive arteriopathy and obliteration of small vessels with plugs of sickle cells. The high individual risk can be assessed by simple and well-defined strategies such as ultrasounds with transcranial and cervical Doppler Ultrasonography. The authors report the clinical case of a 25 year-old black female patient with sickle cell anemia, who was admitted with right hemiparesis. Cerebral MRI showed small recent fronto-temporo-parietal cortical-subcortical infarcts and several, older, posterior periventricular lacunae of left preponderance. A brief discussion is made, with particular emphasis on the proper treatment and prevention of its cerebrovascular complications.

- Caracterização dos antecedentes psiquiátricos nos doentes com demência: relação da depressão com a demênciaPublication . Fonseca, L; Machado, A; Duarte, JDepression has been reported as the most frequent neuropsychiatric diagnostic on the clinical background of demented patients, mainly with Alzheimer dementia (AD). Several studies have showed that this relation is not occasional. In this work we present the results of the statistical analysis made on the characterization of the psychiatric background of demented patients from the memory consultation of the Braga Hospital.
- Uma causa rara de paralisia facial periférica recorrentePublication . Pinho, J; Rocha, S; Machado, A; Lourenço, ERecurrent peripheral facial palsy (PFP) is not uncommon and it is reported in 3 to 15% of idiopathic PFPs. Other etiologies include intracranial compressive tumors, parotid gland tumors or inflammation, recurrent otitis media, head trauma, multiple sclerosis, sarcoidosis, tuberculosis, Lyme disease, HIV, and the rare Melkersson-Rosenthal Syndrome (MRS). The MRS is a non-necrotizing granulomatous disease characterized by PFP, lingua plicata and orofacial edema, even though the classic triad is reported in only from 20 to 30% of the patients1. We describe a patient with recurrent alternating PFP with MRS.
