We have reported a case of pseudobulbar palsy with airflow obstruction initially attributed to chronic aspiration and chronic airflow obstruction caused by cigarette smoking. The finding of stridor led to a detailed evaluation of the obstruction. Flow-volume loops, fiberoptic bronchoscopy, CT scan
Two patients sought treatment for symptoms of bulbar motor dysfunction and the marked emotional lability that characterizes pseudobulbar palsy (PBP). Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging showed large petroclival masses with severe compression and displacement of the brainstem. A suboccipital craniectomy
METHODS
We have experienced a case in which surgical removal of a pituitary tumor from a male patient was followed by the occurrence of hyponatremia, which in turn was later associated with central pontine myelinolysis (CPM). A 4 X 3 X 3 cm pituitary tumor with hypothalamic extension was removed via
The authors describe their experience with an unusual postoperative syndrome of pseudobulbar palsy occurring a few days after the extirpation of large midline vermian/4th ventricular tumors in children. The patients had a delayed onset of supranuclear cranial nerve palsies associated with emotional
A 28-year-old, previously healthy, normotensive woman suddenly developed an acute pseudobulbar palsy with dysarthria, dysphagia, hypernasal voice and mild right arm paresis. Extensive laboratory investigations excluded all other possible causes of acute pseudobulbar palsy (neoplastic, inflammatory,
Cerebellar mutism (CM), pseudobulbar palsy, posterior fossa syndrome (PFS), and cerebellar cognitive affective syndrome (CCAS) are terms that have been used, sometimes interchangeably, to refer to the complex neurological constellation that occurs following surgical removal of The differential diagnosis in 170 patients between birth and 18 years of age is reviewed. There are a number of obvious physical findings and historical features that allow one to make a diagnosis rather quickly. Pain, vesicles, a red pinna, vertigo, and sensorineural hearing loss suggest herpes
Paroxysmal dystonia is an uncommon but well-established feature of multiple sclerosis (MS). Attacks can occur in established MS and may even occasionally be the initial symptom of this disorder. Pathological laughter is usually seen as a pseudobulbar palsy in some diffuse neurological diseases, but
Foix-Chavany-Marie Syndrome or anterior opercular syndrome constitutes the cortical form of pseudobulbar palsy. Its most common etiology is stroke in the region of either operculum. Clinically it can be characterized by severe dysarthria and facio-pharyngo-glosso-masticatory dysplasia with
The intricate mechanism of swallowing can be divided into three phases: oral, pharyngeal, and esophageal. Dysphagia is a disruption in the swallowing process, which include difficulty in transporting (or a lack of transporting) a food or liquid bolus from the mouth through the pharynx and esophagus
Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) is a syndrome of supranuclear ophthalmoplegic palsy, pseudobulbar palsy, rigidity of the limbs, nuchal dystonia, and dementia in which the gaze palsy is the hallmark of the disease. Most neurologists are reluctant to consider the diagnosis unless visual problems
A 44-year-old woman with a history of von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease, a rare inherited neoplasia syndrome, presented acutely to hospital with a productive cough, symptoms of respiratory tract infection and odynophagia (painful swallowing). A chest X-ray confirmed right-sided pneumonia.
Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH), formerly known as histiocytosis-X, manifests by granulomatous lesions consisting of mixed histiocytic and eosinophilic cells. The hallmark of LCH invasion into the CNS is diabetes insipidus, reflecting local infiltration of Langerhans cells into the posterior
In 1922 Bouttier described the "pressure test". With reference to later works by Bouttier, not published at the time, the author demonstrates the role which the Bouttier test can play in the differential diagnosis of various neurological diseases (tumours of the cerebellum, the cerebellopontile
