A 33-year-old female is presented with the first case to our knowledge of new daily persistent headache (NDPH) with a large right benign non-toxic multinodular goiter causing carotid and vertebral compression with complete resolution of the headache immediately after thyroidectomy. Although this may
In 1979, a mass poisoning involving 2,000 people occurred in central Taiwan from ingestion of cooking oil contaminated by polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs). We studied the prevalence of medical conditions in the exposed individuals and in a neighborhood
OBJECTIVE
To investigate differences in cervical spine posture and range of motion and self-reported neck pain and headache between patients with nontoxic goiter compared with a matched control group.
METHODS
An observational, controlled, blinded study.

Seventy patients with toxic goitre treated surgically in two surgical firms in Khartoum during a 10-years period were studied. Of these patients 62.9% had diffuse goitres, 34.3% nodular and 2.8% hot clinically solitary nodules. The age ranged between 15 and 54 years and the M:F ratio was 1.0:6.7.
A case of pituitary apoplexy occurring after subtotal thyroidectomy in an acromegalic woman with a large adenomatous goiter is described. The patient had severe apnea because the large goiter was causing airway compression. Prior to the planned hypophysectomy, a subtotal thyroidectomy was performed
The short- and long-term effects of administration of lithium carbonate in cluster headache (CH) have been investigated. Of the 90 patients treated (78 males and 12 females), 68 had episodic CH and 22 had the chronic form of the disease. The doses used were almost always 900 mg/day. Eleven of the 22
Two unusual cases of vascular headache, one caused by jugular venous compression from a goiter and one triggered by flushing associated with a CGRP-producing renal tumour, are reported. Their histories are compared with those experiencing other headaches of vascular origin. Two patients with a
BACKGROUND
Intravascular large B-cell lymphoma (IVLBCL) is a subtype of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) that is rare and highly aggressive and that may progressively involve many organs. CNS (central nervous system), BM (bone marrow) and skin are the most common systems involved. To date, only
A census, uniform screening questionnaire, and simple screening neurologic examination were administered in a door-to-door survey to residents of Quiroga, Ecuador, a rural community in the Andes Mountains. The screening procedures had been pretested to assure a high level of sensitivity for
METHODS
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the central nervous system was performed on a 72-year-old woman who was hyperthyroid without suppression of the thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) and had complained of a recent onset of headaches. MRI demonstrated a space-occupying lesion, 1 cm in
A 46-year-old Asian man was referred to our endocrine unit (April 2013) by his general practitioner for investigation of a neck mass. Ultrasound scan of the neck and serum thyroid-stimulating hormone levels revealed a euthyroid multinodular goitre. He presented with symptoms of frequent headaches,
Seaweed has been used in traditional cosmetics and as a herbal medicine in treatments for cough, boils, goiters, stomach ailments, and urinary diseases, and for reducing the incidence of tumors, ulcers, and headaches. Despite the fact that seaweeds are frequently used in the practice of human
A 69-year-old man was referred for elevated thyroid hormone levels. He had no symptoms apart from mild hyperhidrosis and heat intolerance with occasional headaches. Past medical history included a right hemithyroidectomy for a multinodular goiter and Hashimoto's disease. At presentation the patient
BACKGROUND
Foreign accent syndrome is a rare but potentially devastating clinical condition associated with altered speech rhythm and prosody, often occurring after a cerebral vascular accident. Missing this diagnosis can lead to delayed stroke work-up and treatment.
OBJECTIVE
