[Cerebral circulation disorders in COVID-19]

Present two clinical cases of cerebral circulation disorders in COVID-19. Cerebrovascular disorders in patients have been associated with COVID-19. Despite the similarity of symptoms, the pathogenesis of neurological damage in these patients was different due to damage to the arterial system in the first case and the venous system in the second case. It is concluded that during the COVID-19 pandemic, doctors need to be alert to all patients with new-onset neurological symptoms.

[Niemann-Pick type C disease in a child]

The authors consider a clinical case of Niemann-Pick disease type C, an orphan hereditary autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disease belonging to the group of lysosomal storage disease, in an 11-year female patient with the late infantile form of the disease. The combination of psychomotor retardation, polymorphic neurological symptoms and physical changes in the form of isolated splenomegaly suggested the diagnosis of Niemann-Pick type C disease. DNA testing was carried out using direct automated sequencing. The patient was treated with miglustat.
