glomus tumor/asthenia

Oncogenic osteomalacia (OO) is an uncommon but treatable cause of osteomalacia related to tumor production of FGF23, usually caused by benign mesenchymal neoplasms. Paranasal sinus glomangiomas are a rare cause of OO, with only one previously reported case. Here we describe a second case (first

This article presents a 48-year-old male patient who presented with pain in the left forearm and weakness and clumsiness in the left hand of 6 months' duration. Flexor motor strength loss of the thumb and the index finger was present and neurophysiologic tests showed findings compatible with axonal

This prospective, open study was carried out in order to assess changes in the swallowing and dietary status after injection of Botulinum toxin A (BoNT-A) into the upper esophageal sphincter (UES) in a series of patients with cricopharyngeus (CP) muscle dysfunction associated with pharyngo-laryngeal

Giant glomus jugulare tumors with a large posterior fossa extension are considered either inoperable or at least requiring of a two-stage operation. Likewise, the surgical approach and treatment for chondrosarcomas of the temporal bone are controversial. We describe a combined approach in which,

ACTH-dependent Cushing syndrome (CS) due to ectopic ACTH production is most times difficult to manage. The identification of the source of ACTH may take many years. Surgery or chemotherapy for the primary tumor is not always possible. Control of Cushing symptoms is many times achieved using

A 47-year-old woman suffered from gait disturbance due to back pain and muscle weakness. Laboratory data showed serum hypophosphatemia, elevated alkaline phosphatase, and a normal level of ionized calcium. Radiological examinations revealed multiple pathologic fractures in the ribs and pubic rami.

Paragangliomas of the jugular foramen are rare. They may present with symptoms of compression of the glossopharyngeal or vagus nerves, or due to secretion of catecholamines from chromaffin cells within the tumour. This case describes a rare presentation of glomus tumour. A 67-year-old patient

Unilateral progressive sensorineural hearing loss, tinnitus, and unsteadiness are the usual initial symptoms of acoustic neuroma. Of the last 100 consecutive cases of acoustic neuroma detected at our Centre, 14 had atypical symptoms, Five patients manifested sudden hearing loss; one of these had

Treatment of glomus jugulare tumors with radiosurgery has grown in acceptance since the first reported treatment in 1995, but only a few centers have reported their experiences with limited follow up time. We report our experience with stereotactic radiosurgery in nine patients with ten glomus
