Autoimmune mechanisms have been implicated in the pathogenesis of headache and neurological deficits with cerebrospinal fluid lymphocytosis (HaNDL). Pooled sera of five HaNDL patients and 30 controls (10 multiple sclerosis patients, 10 migraine patients, 10 healthy controls) were screened by protein
BACKGROUND
We report the use of salvage radiosurgery to manage an aggressive olfactory neuroblastoma (esthesioneuroblastoma) with multiple recurrences and intracranial extension.
METHODS
A 43-year-old Caucasian woman presented 11 years ago with progressive nasal blockage and headaches. A necrotic
A 3-year-old male, diagnosed with stage 4 neuroblastoma, developed recurrent leptomeningeal metastasis after multi-modality treatment including multi-agent chemotherapy, surgery, high dose chemotherapy plus stem cell rescue, cis-retinoic acid and intravenous (IV) topotecan. He then received
Olfactory neuroblastoma is a rare tumor originating in the upper nasal cavity. It rarely extends intracranially. We report a clinical case of olfactory neuroblastoma with intracranial extension and distant metastasis. A 35-year-old man complained of nasal stuffiness and bleeding, headache and
A 51-year-old man presented with headache, vomiting and exophthalmus. Neurological examination revealed anosmia, papilledema, decrease in visual acuity, and disability in ocular movement. MRI showed a huge mass which occupied the whole nasal cavity and compressed the frontal lobe upwards and the
Olfactory neuroblastoma (ONB) is a rare malignant neoplasm arising from the superior aspect of the nasal vault. Cases are characterised by insidious clinical presentation and high rates of recurrence despite surgical resection and adjuvant radiotherapy. There are a small number of reports showing
Esthesioneuroblastoma (olfactory neuroblastoma) is an uncommon neuroectodermal tumor. Its biological activity ranges from indolent growth to local recurrence and rapid widespread metastasis. Treatment options consist of surgical resection followed by radiation therapy for primary lesions and the
Sinonasal teratocarcinosarcoma (SNTC) is a rare, aggressive, histologically heterogeneous neoplasm of the paranasal sinuses and nasopharnyx of adults that is composed of variably benign or malignant neuroepithelial, epithelial, and mesenchymal elements. Occasional cases show intracranial extension
A 29-year-old Ethiopian man presented with marked bilateral visual loss, headache, hypopituitarism and significant hyponatraemia (115 mmol/L). A brain MRI scan demonstrated a large, lobulated, sellar and suprasellar mass, elevating the floor of the 3rd ventricle and compressing the optic chiasm. The
Two cases of olfactory neuroblastoma in women in northern Thailand are described. Original complaints were severe headaches and eye pain; death occurred from intracranial extensions 6 months and 1 year after diagnosis. Results of study with light microscopy, immunohistopathology, and electron
We report a case of a patient with primary cerebral neuroblastoma who has survived for 8 years. A 10-year-old boy was admitted to our hospital because of headache and nausea. CT scan on admission revealed a large cystic tumor on the right frontal lobe. Subtotal tumor resection was carried out. A
BACKGROUND
Neuroblastoma (NB) is the most common extracranial solid malignancy in children. The major cause of death from this cancer is metastasis of tumors, and metastasis can be seen in different areas of the body. Metastasis of NB occurs by hematogenous and lymphatic routes. Generally, brain
Tumors involving the heart during childhood are rare. However, neuroblastoma, a common pediatric malignancy, has been described to involve the cardiovascular system in 3%-12% of patients dying with this tumor. Rarely is such involvement diagnosed ante mortem and never, to our knowledge, has a benign
Olfactory neuroblastoma (ONB) is a rare cancer originating in the olfactory epithelium of the nasal vault. The recurrence rate of ONB is high, as the standard treatment of surgery followed by radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy is usually unsuccessful. The use of targeted therapy based on individual
A 2-year-old girl who had previously been treated for stage IV intra-abdominal neuroblastoma presented with headache and vomiting. Computed tomography (CT) showed hematoma in the right temporal lobe. Two months previously, she had suffered a generalized seizure but brain CT was unremarkable. The
