Neuroblastoma (NB) is the most common extracranial solid tumor in children. Diarrheal NB is quite rare and is not easy to diagnose in the early stage. Six cases of diarrheal NB in our hospital treated from 1996 to 2006 were retrospectively analyzed, including characteristics such as electrolyte
A previously healthy 9-year-old girl presented with a 10-day history of slowly progressive unsteadiness, slurred speech, and behavior change. On examination there was cerebellar ataxia and dysarthria, excessive blinking, subtle perioral myoclonus, and labile mood. The finding of oligoclonal bands in
We report a case of a middle-aged woman with a diffuse, nonenhancing, progressively atrophic T2-hyperintense lesion involving the left frontotemporal lobes and insula found to be synchronous high-grade sinonasal neuroendocrine carcinoma (SNEC) after initial endonasal resection. In 2014, a 47-year
Among paraneoplastic syndromes (PNS) associated with malignant hemopathies, there are few reports of PNS of the central nervous system and most of them are associated with lymphomas. Limbic encephalitis is a rare neurological syndrome classically diagnosed in the context of PNS. We report the case
Patients presenting with subacute amnesia are frequently seen in acute neurological practice. Amongst the differential diagnoses, herpes simplex encephalitis, Korsakoff's syndrome and limbic encephalitis should be considered. Limbic encephalitis is typically a paraneoplastic syndrome with a poor
OBJECTIVE
To describe the paraneoplastic disorders of the motor and sensory nerves and neurons, and their immunologic associations.
RESULTS
Recently proposed diagnostic criteria for paraneoplastic disorders may assist in determining the likelihood a given neuropathy or neuronopathy is related to an
OBJECTIVE
To review the paraneoplastic complications described affecting the peripheral nervous system.
METHODS
Different types of tumors, especially secretory carcinomas and some lymphomas may affect the peripheral nerves, and this may often precede clinical signs of the tumor. Depending on the
OBJECTIVE
Isaacs' syndrome is a rare disease resulting from hyperexcitability of peripheral nerves causing continuous muscle fiber activity characterized by muscle twitching and stiffness at rest and delayed muscle relaxation after voluntary contraction. Our objective was to discuss the relationship
Limbic encephalitis affects the mesial temporal lobes and is characterized by subacute onset of memory impairment, personal change, temporal seizures and autonomic nervous disorders. It can occur as viral infections, especially caused by Herpes simplex, paraneoplastic syndrome as a remote effect of
Limbic encephalitis is a paraneoplastic syndrome that is often associated with small cell lung cancer (SCLC), breast cancer, testicular tumors, teratoma, Hodgkin's lymphoma and thymoma. The common clinical manifestations of limbic encephalitis are subacute onset, cognitive dysfunction, seizures and
BACKGROUND
Polymyositis with cranial neuropathy has been rarely reported.
METHODS
We describe here three cases of polymyositis with trigeminal or facial neuropathy. Patients had muscular weakness, myalgia, rhabdomyolysis, endomysial infiltration with necrosis and regeneration at biopsy of muscle
Few reports describe the clinical course and acute-care management of patients with recurrent multi-antibody paraneoplastic encephalitis. We describe a rare case of a patient having thymoma with multiple paraneoplastic syndromes who was found to have antibodies to
Ectopic adrenocorticotropic hormone syndrome is a paraneoplastic syndrome associated with small cell carcinoma. However, ectopic adrenocorticotropic hormone syndrome is rare in association with small cell carcinoma of the bladder. We report what we believe to be the first case of ectopic
Acquired neuromyotonia is characterized by hyperexcitability of motor nerves resulting in continuous muscle fiber activity. It occurs most often as a paraneoplastic syndrome in patients with cancers of the immune system. Antibodies against voltage-gated potassium channels (VGKCs) have been detected
OBJECTIVE
To report a case of multifocal cortical encephalitis associated with thymoma and to establish an association of this thymoma-related paraneoplastic syndrome with voltage-gated potassium channel antibodies.
METHODS
Case report.
METHODS
University hospital.
METHODS
A 43-year-old woman with a
