In the majority of patients with raised intracranial pressure, the papilledema is bilateral. Unilateral papilledema is rare in conditions causing intracranial hypertension, and it has been described in Foster-Kennedy syndrome and in some cases of idiopathic intracranial hypertension. It has never
Slit-ventricle syndrome (SVS) is a recognized complication of ventricular shunt malfunction, resulting in cyclical symptoms without ventricular dilatation. We present a case of SVS with transient, repetitive, and progressive signs of brainstem herniation evidenced by pupillary BACKGROUND
Solitary cysticercus granuloma is the commonest imaging abnormality in Indian patients with new-onset seizures. Few patients, in addition, complain of disabling headache.
OBJECTIVE
To report our experience of 16 patients with new-onset headache, seizures, and solitary cysticercus
We examined potential clinical and pathologic correlates of seizures among the 3,291 children in the Childhood Brain Tumor Consortium database. Fourteen percent had seizures prior to their hospitalization for a brain tumor. Among children who had a supratentorial tumor, seizures occurred in 22% of
We report herein the case of 32-year-old woman with situs inversus, thrombophilia, antiphospholipid syndrome and severe premenstrual syndrome (PMS) with cerebral edema and epileptic seizures prior to menstruation. Seven days prior to regular menstruation she developed severe PMS, including headache,
Hypocalcemia is rare in childhood and caused, among other conditions, by hypoparathyroidism. DiGeorge syndrome is the most common cause of hypoparathyroidism in childhood. Presentation of a rare cause of hypocalcemia in childhood and the necessity of measuring serum electrolyte levels in patients
OBJECTIVE
Reversible posterior leukoencephalopathy syndrome (RPLS) is an increasingly recognized brain disorder most commonly associated with malignant hypertension, toxemia of pregnancy, or the use of immunosuppressive agents. When associated with acute hypertension, RPLS typically occurs
Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) is a rare, difficult-to-diagnose form of venous thromboembolic disease and is considered a type of stroke. Its presentation is highly variable and may be easily confused for more common and less debilitating or life-threatening diagnoses such as Arachnoid cysts are congenital benign intracranial collections of cerebrospinal fluid. Most arachnoid cysts are small and asymptomatic. They are usually located in the temporal fossa. Classically described complications result from compression of adjacent structures and include neurologic
Background: Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH), or pseudotumor cerebri (PTC), is a rare disorder marked by the increase of CSF pressure that may cause severe headaches, papilledema, vision loss, and more. IIH is typically treated
BACKGROUND
Visual disturbance as a presenting feature of pseudohypoparathyroidism (PHP) is uncommon. Although papilledema is commonly reported with hypoparathyroidism primary or secondary, but not reported commonly with PHP.
METHODS
A 10-year-old male child presented to our outpatient service with
A 61-year-old man presented with uniocular gradually progressive visual loss, pain in the eye, visual activity of 6/60, markedly constricted visual fields, optic disc edema, retinal pigment epithelial disturbance at the posterior pole, and markedly delayed filling of the choroid on angiography, with
OBJECTIVE
Cerebrospinal fluid diversion via ventricular shunt is a common treatment for hydrocephalus. Change in cranial morphology associated with a sutural fusion has been termed shunt-related or induced craniosynostosis (SRC) or craniocerebral disproportion (CCD). We present a series of patients
