Posterior cortical atrophy, mascara staining, and careers in stroke - Editors' Highlights February 2025

The practice of neurology is constantly changing, and the papers in this issue exemplify that trend. On this episode, journal editors Dr. Geraint Fuller and Prof. Philip Smith discuss their highlights from the latest issue of Practical Neurology, for February 2025. They begin with the editors' choice paper on stiff person syndrome, then speak about new guidance from the ABN on disease-modifying treatments for MS. There's also life-improving interventions for posterior cortical atrophy, changing attitudes towards stroke as a career option for neurologists, and management techniques for cryptococcal meningitis - including a resourceful substitute for India ink.  Read the issue: https://pn.bmj.com/content/25/1/1  Please subscribe to the Practical Neurology podcast on your favourite platform to get the latest podcast every month.
