Contrast-Induced Encephalopathy Post Gadolinium Administration: A Case Report and Literature Review

Review Data

Q: Is the topic relevant to the journal area of interest?

Comments: Yes, the topic is relevant to the journal area of interest.

Abstract & Keywords

Q: Are all required components included in the abstract? Are the keywords appropriately chosen?

Comments: The abstract includes the required components, such as background, case description, and conclusion. The keywords are appropriately chosen as they represent the core topics of the paper (e.g., "contrast-induced encephalopathy," "neurotoxicity," "cerebral aneurysm"). However, more specific terms related to the gadolinium administration could improve its searchability.

Goal

Q: Is the goal explicitly stated in the Introduction? Is its formulation clear and unambiguous?

Comments: The introduction clearly states the goal of presenting a case of contrast-induced encephalopathy (CIE) and reviewing the literature, providing sufficient context about CIE as a rare complication.

Structure

Q: Is the paper's structure coherent? Is it in coherence with the goal of the paper?

Comments: The paper follows a logical structure, starting from the introduction of the case to literature review, discussion, and conclusion. This structure is coherent and aligned with the paper's goal.

Discussion & Conclusion

Q: Is it related to the results presented before? Do you consider them as coherent?

Comments: The discussion and conclusion are relevant to the results presented, particularly in analyzing the case and comparing it with the literature on CIE. The conclusion reinforces the importance of awareness about this condition.

Literature

Q: Does the author utilize relevant literature?

Comments: The paper effectively utilizes relevant literature to support its findings, citing multiple studies to establish the prevalence, symptoms, and mechanisms of CIE.

Length

Q: Is the length of the paper adequate to the significance of the topic? Do you suggest shortening the paper without losing its value?

Comments: The length of the paper is appropriate for the topic. No significant areas need to be shortened without losing value. Each section contributes to the overall understanding of CIE.

Figures & Tables

Q: Does the author use them suitably? Are legend and notations clear?

A: The figures are relevant to the case and well-placed. However, the legends could be expanded to provide clearer explanations for each figure, ensuring clarity for readers.

Writing style

Q: Is it clear and understandable?

A: The writing style is clear and understandable, though minor grammatical adjustments could enhance readability.

Further comments on the paper

Comments:

Overall, the paper provides a clear and well-supported case of CIE with a thorough literature review. Some improvement in figure legends and keyword specificity could further enhance its clarity and impact.

Reviewer 1:

The case report is well-structured and provides a valuable contribution to the understanding of contrast-induced encephalopathy (CIE). The abstract is concise, and the keywords are appropriate, though expanding them could improve discoverability. The literature review is thorough, but figure legends should offer more detailed explanations. The paper’s length is appropriate, and its conclusion aligns with the results. Minor grammatical refinements would enhance clarity. Overall, this is a solid case report, but some revisions could further improve readability.

Reviewer 2:

This case report effectively highlights a rare condition, CIE, offering a comprehensive review and case presentation. The paper is well-organized, with a clear goal outlined in the introduction. The discussion is coherent and well-supported by relevant literature. The figures are useful but would benefit from more detailed legends. The paper is of appropriate length and generally well-written, although further grammatical polishing could enhance comprehension. Expanding on certain aspects of CIE pathophysiology would add value to this strong submission.

Q: Would you recommend this manuscript for further publication?

A: Yes - This manuscript is recommended for further publication.
