Legionnaire's disease (LD) is a non-zoonotic atypical community acquired pneumonia (CAP) with several characteristic extra-pulmonary findings. Pending diagnostic test results, selected characteristic findings when considered together are the basis of clinical syndromic diagnosis and the basis of
A 41-year-old woman presented with acute onset headache, vertigo, nausea, and gait disorder, initially interpreted as a common cold. Within 2 weeks, she developed a severe opsoclonus-myoclonus syndrome with truncal ataxia. Cerebrospinal fluid examination and serological findings suggested a recent
BACKGROUND
Myoclonic movements are common problems during induction of anesthesia with etomidate. The aim of this study was to compare the effect of pretreatment with dexmedetomidine (0.5 microg/kg) and thiopental (1 mg/kg) on the incidence of etomidate-induced myoclonus and postoperative
Varicella zoster virus (VZV) has been increasingly linked with encephalitis and atypical presentations in immunosuppressed patients. We present a patient with history of immunosuppressant intake for polymyositis who initially presented with throbbing frontal headache that raised the suspicion of

UNASSIGNED
Etomidate induced myoclonus (EM) is a common and hazardous sequel. Premedication with a number of opioids has been shown to effectively attenuate EM. However, there is no reported literature evaluating the effect of nalbuphine pretreatment on EM. The present study was designed to evaluate
Neurological deficits associated with methylergometrine have been reported primarily as a result of reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndromes (RCVS). RCVS are characterized by reversible multifocal vasoconstrictions of the cerebral arteries heralded by acute severe headache with or without

The purpose of this report is to describe a new complication of propofol administration. A previously fit patient underwent intravenous anaesthesia with propofol for removal of dental wires. Postoperatively he developed myoclonic jerking of his limbs. On regaining consciousness he complained of an
BACKGROUND
Opsoclonus-myoclonus-ataxia (OMS) is a rare clinical syndrome, of paraneoplastic infectious, post-infectious, post-vaccinal or idiopathic origin.
METHODS
We report a 24-year-old young man who presented with gait disorder preceded by a febrile rash and retroauricular lymph nodes. Three
Opsoclonus-myoclonus syndrome (OMS) is an inflammatory neurological disorder, often requiring a prompt medical evaluation. Among the diverse etiologies associated with OMS are autoimmune, infectious, paraneoplastic, and systemic diseases, and drug
