RESUMO

Introducción: Con la creación en 1989 del CIREN, Cuba entró en la nueva era de la neurología. Durante la segunda mitad del siglo XX los conceptos de la neurociencia evolucionaron del estatismo a un sistema adaptable y cambiante, moldeado por la experiencia, a través de la propiedad de plasticidad neuronal. El objetivo del trabajo es presentar los logros más relevantes de este esfuerzo de investigación enesta institución.Desarrollo: Además de la atención de pacientes cubanos y extranjeros, se ha desarrollado una intensa investigación sobre todas las herramientas potenciales que podrían servir para recuperar o restaurar la función nerviosa afectada por traumatismos o enfermedad. El paso inicial fue el trasplante neural de células dopaminérgicas a pacientes parkinsonianos. Otras intervenciones de la neurocirugía funcional o resectiva también se intentaron para trastornos del movimiento o epilepsia. La investigación básica ha contribuido a confirmar los beneficios esperados para tratar con éxito los trastornos degenerativos, y los programas de neurorrehabilitación diseñados tratan deinducir un entorno promotor de la plasticidad para maximizar la recuperación.Conclusiones: La investigación en el CIREN ocupa un lugar privilegiado. Algunos resultados han traído nuevos tratamientos clínicos y quirúrgicos. Otros, principalmente los de investigación básica, aún no han encontrado una traducción terapéutica. Pero todos han contribuido en gran medida a dar forma al perfil único de esta institución cubana. La manera de avanzar en los pasos firmes hacia eseobjetivo, es el camino de una ciencia sólida y de alto nivel(AU)


Introduction: With the creation in 1989 of CIREN, Cuba entered the new era of neurology. During the second half of the twentieth century the concepts of neuroscience evolved from statist to an adaptable and changing system, shaped by experience, through the property ofneuronal plasticity. The objective of the work is to present the most relevant achievements of this research effort in this institution.Development: In addition to the care of Cuban and foreign patients, an intense research has been developed on all the potential tools that could be used to recover or restore nerve function affected by trauma or disease. The initial step was the neural transplantation of dopaminergic cells to parkinsonian patients. Other interventions of functional or resective neurosurgery were also tried for movement disorders or epilepsy. Basic research has helped to confirm benefits expected to successfully treat degenerative disorders, andneurorehabilitation programs designed to induce a plasticity promoting environment to maximize recovery.Conclusions: Research at CIREN occupies a privileged place in the interests of the institution. Some results have brought new clinical andsurgical treatments. Others, mainly those of basic research, have not yet found a therapeutic translation. But all have contributed greatly to shaping the unique profile of this Cuban institution. The way to advance in the firm steps towards that goal is the trend of a solid and high level science(AU)

RESUMO

We studied cranial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) lesions in three women with acute attacks of recurrent longitudinally extensive transverse myelitis (r-LETM), recurrent-optic neuritis (r-ON) and r-LETM-CNS. Neuromyelitis Optica -immunoglobulin (IgG) antibody was positive in all cases. Brain MRI (1.5 Tesla) was performed according to protocol from consortium MS centre. We described the cranial lesions in brain MRI of acute relapses. These lesions were different from MS, most had an asymptomatic course which disappeared with time, protocol from consortium of MS centre criteria for brain MRI and seropositivity of NMO-IgG are useful tools for differentiate acute lesions of NMO/MS.
