A 12-year-old, 195 kg Shetland pony broodmare had eight seizures between May 29 and August 7, 1979. Plasma glucose levels during three of these seizures were markedly depressed (16, 18 and 19 mg/100 ml). Serum insulin levels were elevated during two of the seizures (86.0 and 97.7 microU/ml).
The history, clinical signs and radiographic and ultrasonographic findings in 16 dogs with pancreatic neoplasia were reviewed retrospectively. Thirteen of the dogs had islet cell carcinoma compatible with insulinoma, one had a pancreatic adenocarcinoma and two had secondary invasion of the pancreas,
Brain metastases are extremely rare for patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma due to the poor prognoses. In the present study, we reported 2 cases of pancreatic adenocarcinoma with brain metastases.The 1st patient was diagnosed asymptomatic brain We report a case of 29-year-old woman referred to us for management of refractory epilepsy. Under observation, she was detected to have recurrent hypoglycaemia during the episodes of seizures. On investigation, she was found to have hyperinsulinemic hypoglycaemia. Her triple-phase CT scan of abdomen
BACKGROUND
Pancreatic cancer is a common malignancy and often presents at an advanced stage. Metastases are common but neurological involvement is rare. We aim to describe an unusual case of leptomeningeal involvement from pancreatic cancer.
METHODS
A 59-year-old man presented with a several-year
Background Pancreatic cancer (PC) is one of the common cancers in the United States (U.S.) and is associated with high mortality and morbidity. In spite of the modest improvement in survival, cancer care costs including PC continue to rise and inpatient costs contribute a significant chunk to cancer
There were 80 patients with measurable metastatic or unresectable pancreatic cancer randomly assigned to treatment with either DHAD, VP-16, aclacinomycin, or spirogermanium. There were no complete or partial responses. Two deaths from leukopenia occurred in patients treated with DHAD. One patient
Paclitaxel (Taxol) is an antineoplastic agent approved in the United States for the treatment of lung, breast, cervical, pancreatic cancers and Kaposi sarcoma. Paclitaxel does not cross the blood brain barrier, so central nervous system adverse effects are BACKGROUND
Pancreatic tumors in children represent a very rare entity. We reviewed the clinical and pathologic features of pediatric patients with pancreatic tumors at a single institution.
METHODS
We conducted a retrospective review of cases diagnosed at the Hospital for Sick Children between 1986
The aim of the study was to determine the efficacy and toxicity of alternate week concurrent 5-fluorouracil, hydroxyurea, and cisplatin with radiotherapy for locally advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Patients received 5-fluorouracil, hydroxyurea and cisplatin with radiotherapy on an alternate week
BACKGROUND
Brain metastasis from pancreatic cancer is extremely rare. Because pancreatic cancer usually has a rapidly progressive nature, the majority of affected patients die from primary lesions before exhibiting clinical signs suggestive of brain metastases.
METHODS
The patient was a 62-year-old
While reportedly a relatively common finding at the autopsy of decedents with metastatic neoplasms, dural metastases are infrequently described in the medical literature and only 55 cases of subdural hemorrhage associated with dural metastases have been described, with only one of these cases
We report a case of a 22-year-old male who was transferred to our hospital in a comatose state following successive seizures. Low blood glucose had been detected upon his arrival at the previous hospital. He became responsive 12 days after the onset of coma. Upon regaining consciousness he exhibited
Multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN1) is a rare autosomal dominant disorder characterized by primary hyperparathyroidism, enteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors, and anterior pituitary adenomas. A 16-year-old male presented to the emergency outpatient clinic with tonic convulsions. Physical
OBJECTIVE
Epilepsy and long term use of antiepileptic drugs have been suggested to be associated with an increased risk of cancer. The authors therefore set out to analyse previous diagnosis of epilepsy as a risk factor for certain cancer forms in a case control study.
METHODS
Incident cases of
