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,
A boy with juvenile onset of symptoms of Alexander's disease had a clinical picture of pseudobulbar palsy, ataxia, and spastic paraparesis. Pathologic examination of the central nervous system revealed the diffuse presence of Rosenthal fibers and patchy demyelination. This may be the first report of
Central pontine myelinolysis (CPM), a neurologic disorder caused most frequently by rapid correction of hyponatremia, is characterized by demyelination that affects the central portion of the base of the pons. There are no inflammatory changes, and blood vessels are normal. Clinical features usually
Myelinolysis is characterized by a non inflammatory demyelination, affecting the central portion of the pons. Clinical features usually reflect damage to the descending motor tracts and include spastic tetraparesis, pseudobulbar paralysis, and the locked-in syndrome. We describe the case of a
Clinical comparisons were made between Japanese patients with multiple sclerosis (66 cases) and neuro-Behçet's syndrome (23 cases). Those with neuro-Behçet showed marked male predominance, while those with multiple sclerosis showed slight female preponderance. Both showed encephalomyelopathy
We examined the alterations of glial cells in the brains with Binswanger's disease. In comparison to the brains with lacunar cerebral infarction and those from non-neurological controls, oligodendroglia was decreased in number, and microglia was increased and activated in the white matter lesions in
