COVID-19 has been associated with various neurological and atypical HEENT (head/eyes/eyes/nose/throat) manifestations. In this systematic review and meta-analysis the authors sought to review the evidence for these manifestations.

This year has so far been a busy one for everyone involved in education at EAN, with plenty of exciting new projects joining the traditional fixtures in our education calendar. As Chair of the EAN Education Committee, it is my pleasure to give you a brief update on some of our recent activities and to remind you about our brand new programmes with deadlines still open.

Our research paper of the month is a pooled retrospective non-randomised cohort study, evaluating the functional and safety outcomes of direct to angiography (DTA) treatment paradigm vs repeated imagingin the different treatment windows and on-call hours vs regular hours in patients undergoing thrombectomy.

For August 2021, we have selected two COVID-19 papers of the month, investigating the effectiveness of the Covid-19 vaccines in England and Israel, respectively.

In this article the authors describe the case of a COVID-19 patient who developed bilateral occipital lobe haemorrhages suggestive of haemorrhagic PRES.

In this article the authors aimed to investigate the consequences of the first COVID-19 lockdown (mid-March - mid-April 2020) on motor and non-motor symptoms (NMS) in a cohort of French people with Parkinson's disease (PwP).

In this article the authors aimed to evaluate the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the quality of life (QoL) and perceived disease burden of this group of patients.

In this article the authors aimed to describe the neuropathological findings in SARS-CoV-2 infected patients who died during the COVID-19 pandemic, and define and quantify the presence of virus in selected areas showing pathological signs.

In this study, the authors analyze the characteristics, evaluation, treatment, and in-hospital outcomes of patients presenting with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) pre-COVID-19 and during COVID-19.

In this article the authors report two male patients, aged 45 and 67, who developed a classical form of PD approximately three months after a moderate COVID-19 infection with dyspnea, fever, anosmia and ageusia.

In this review, the authors summarize the current knowledge on epidemiology, clinical manifestation, and pathophysiology of ischemic stroke in patients with COVID-19 to bridge the gap from bench to bedside and clinical practice during the most challenging global health crisis of the last decades.

The purpose of this study was to report real-life safety data of the BNT162b2 COVID-19 vaccine in a cohort of MS patients.

The authors compared clinical features of participants with Tourette Syndrome or Persistent Motor/Vocal Tic Disorder to participants with Rapid Onset Tic-Like Behaviours.

The authors compared post-vaccination CVST to 100 European patients with CVST from before the COVID-19 pandemic derived from the International CVST Consortium.

In this article the authors aimed to estimate the incidence of cerebral sinus and venous thrombosis (CVT) within one month from first-dose administration and the frequency of vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia (VITT) as the underlying mechanism after vaccination.
