“…Nevertheless, in a retrospective study of Malaysian children with anti-NMDAR encephalitis, 2 out of 11 patients presented with dystonic tics [16]. Moreover, two individual case reports mentioned tics as a presenting feature of anti-NMDAR encephalitis in an 11-year-old girl with motor and phonic tics associated with an ovarian teratoma [17] and a 4-year-old Lebanese child with phonic tics associated with orofacial dyskinesias and gait problems [20]. These observations raise the possibility that tics might have been under-diagnosed or overlooked in anti-NMDAR encephalitis.…”

Background Movement disorders have been described in the context of different types of encephalitis. Among hyperkinetic manifestations, tics have sporadically been reported in cases of encephalitis resulting from a range of aetiologies. Objective This review aimed to assess the prevalence and characteristics of tics in patients with encephalitis. Methods We conducted a systematic literature review of original studies on the major scientific databases, according to the standards outlined in the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Results In addition to the established association between tics and encephalitis lethargica, our literature search identified reports of tics in patients with immune-mediated pathologies (including autoimmune encephalitides affecting the N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor, voltage-gated potassium channels, and glycine receptors) and infective processes (ranging from relatively common viral pathogens, such as herpes simplex, to prions, as in Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease). Tics were most commonly reported in the post-encephalitic period and involvement of the basal ganglia was frequently observed. Discussion The association of new-onset tics and encephalitis, in the background of other neuropsychiatric abnormalities, has practical implications, potentially improving the detection of encephalitis based on clinical features. Future research should focus on the categorisation and treatment of hyperkinetic movement disorders associated with encephalitis.

Introdução: Emergências oncológicas são condições agudas causadas pelo câncer, ou por seu tratamento, que requerem rápida intervenção. Objetivo: Analisar e sintetizar a produção científica relacionada à assistência ao paciente com urgências e emergências oncológicas. Método: Revisão integrativa da literatura com consultas no PubMed, Cinahl, Embase e Lilacs, em fevereiro de 2018, com os descritores Emergencies AND Oncology OR Neoplasm, sem restrições de tempo. Resultados: Selecionados 55 artigos, publicados de 1987 a 2017; com nível de evidência fraco ou moderado (96,3%); 54,5% dos artigos abordaram emergências estruturais-obstrutivas do trato gastrointestinal, 10,9% do trato respiratório, 7,2% infecções e sistema neurológico, 5,4% emergências cardíacas, abdominais e metabólicas e 3,6% emergências hepáticas. Conclusão: As emergências oncológicas devem ser mais bem estudadas, reconhecidas e entendidas pela equipe, para que haja melhora no prognóstico e na qualidade de vida dos pacientes.
