Clinical and Neuropathological Evaluations of the New Brunswick Neurological Syndrome of Unknown Cause
There was no evidence supporting a diagnosis of NSUC in this cohort. The data inclusive of independent examinations and neuropathology strongly supported the presence of several neurodegenerative and non-neurodegenerative conditions. Unfounded concerns that a potentially fatal mystery disease, possibly induced by an environmental toxin, is causing the patients' neurological symptoms has been amplified in traditional and social media. Second, independent clinical evaluations are needed for any patient given a diagnosis of NSUC.
