In the beginning there was an open invitation for written presentations of unsolved or controversial cases. Most case reports have then actually been obtained by active individual invitation to heads of departments across Europe, who have recruited their junior staff. Now, we accept that publishing “unsolved/ open cases” to help European neurologists without easy access to senior expertise in some particular field has not been accepted as an attractive option by our readers. Therefore we shall publish the good quality patient reports obtained till the end of 2013, and then stop with regular publications of case reports in 2014.
Nevertheless, Neuropenews remains open to neurologists if they propose an interesting unresolved neurologic case for discussion.
Please send your case to neuropenews@eaneurology.org
