A case of tuberculous pleurisy associated with myoclonus and Quincke's edema due to isoniazid (INH) and isoniazid sodium methanesulfonate (IHMS) was reported. A 75-year-old man was admitted to our division because of chest discomfort and the left chest pain of one month's duration. A conventional
We report the case of a 75-year-old woman who developed involuntary jerks of the abdominal musculature. They occurred spontaneously or triggered by a forced inspiration or attempts to rise from the supine position. Electromyography (EMG) recorded abnormal bursts of muscle activity in the abdominal,
Myoclonus of the middle ear is a rare condition characterized by abnormal repetitive muscle contractions of the tympanic cavity. In this paper we describe what we believe is the first reported case of continuous high-frequency objective tinnitus caused by middle ear myoclonus. During exploratory
OBJECTIVE
To explore the feasibility of using botulinum toxin type A (BTXA) to treat tinnitus due to stapedius myoclonus.
METHODS
A piece of gelfoam containing BTXA (25 U/ml) was placed, through a perforation in tympanic membrane, into the middle ear cavity of a patient suffering from tinnitus due
In our pathologic observation of the cerebral cortex including the neocortex, hippocampus, and limbic cortex in 43 Japanese patients with MM1-type sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, the earliest pathologic finding was spongiform change and next was gliosis. Subsequently, neuropil rarefaction
Pulsatile tinnitus (PT) is relatively rare, which accounts for approximately 4% of patients with tinnitus. It originates from mostly vascular structures within the cranial cavity, head and neck region or thoracic cavity, and is transmitted to the cochlear by bony or vascular structures and the blood
The clinical and magnetic resonance (MR) features of hypertrophic olivary degeneration are described, along with a rare but treatable cause of this entity-pontine cavernous haemangioma. Hypertrophic olivary degeneration occurs after focal lesions to the dentato-rubro-olivary pathway, typically
Aims: Progressive encephalomyelitis with rigidity and myoclonus (PERM) is a life-threatening condition often associated with highly raised serum antibodies to glycine receptors (GlyRs); these bind to the surface of large neurons and
