Pearls and Oy-sters: CSF1R-Related Leukoencephalopathy With Spinal Cord Lesions Mimicking Multiple Sclerosis

Jain, Aarushi; Arena, Vito P; Steigerwald, Connolly; Borja, Maria J; Kister, Ilya; Abreu, Nicolas J
CSF1R-related leukoencephalopathy is an autosomal dominant neurological disorder causing microglial dysfunction with a wide range of neurologic complications, including motor dysfunction, dementia and seizures. This case report highlights an unusual presentation of CSF1R-related leukoencephalopathy with radiographic spinal cord involvement initially diagnosed as multiple sclerosis. The case highlights the importance of considering adult-onset neurogenetic disorders in the setting of white matter disease. Genetic testing provides a confirmatory diagnosis for an expanding number of adult-onset leukoencephalopathies and informs therapeutic decision-making.

BACKGROUND:Little is known regarding long-term outcomes of patients hospitalized with COVID-19. METHODS:We conducted a prospective study of 6-month outcomes of hospitalized COVID-19 patients. Patients with new neurological complications during hospitalization who survived were propensity score-matched to COVID-19 survivors without neurological complications hospitalized during the same period. The primary 6-month outcome was multivariable ordinal analysis of the modified Rankin Scale(mRS) comparing patients with or without neurological complications. Secondary outcomes included: activities of daily living (ADLs;Barthel Index), telephone Montreal Cognitive Assessment and Neuro-QoL batteries for anxiety, depression, fatigue and sleep. RESULTS:Of 606 COVID-19 patients with neurological complications, 395 survived hospitalization and were matched to 395 controls; N = 196 neurological patients and N = 186 controls completed follow-up. Overall, 346/382 (91%) patients had at least one abnormal outcome: 56% had limited ADLs, 50% impaired cognition, 47% could not return to work and 62% scored worse than average on ≥1 Neuro-QoL scale (worse anxiety 46%, sleep 38%, fatigue 36%, and depression 25%). In multivariable analysis, patients with neurological complications had worse 6-month mRS (median 4 vs. 3 among controls, adjusted OR 1.98, 95%CI 1.23-3.48, P = 0.02), worse ADLs (aOR 0.38, 95%CI 0.29-0.74, P = 0.01) and were less likely to return to work than controls (41% versus 64%, P = 0.04). Cognitive and Neuro-QOL metrics were similar between groups. CONCLUSIONS:Abnormalities in functional outcomes, ADLs, anxiety, depression and sleep occurred in over 90% of patients 6-months after hospitalization for COVID-19. In multivariable analysis, patients with neurological complications during index hospitalization had significantly worse 6-month functional outcomes than those without.
