BACKGROUND
Streptococcus pneumonia is the most common and intimidating cause of childhood meningitis. Its delayed diagnosis may be associated with hyponatremia and hypernatremia with fatal outcome.
METHODS
A previously healthy nine-month-old Bangladeshi female infant was diagnosed with diarrhea,
Cerebellar hypoplasia and hydrocephalus were identified in day old broiler chickens showing nervous signs, impaired mobility, and diarrhea. At postmortem examination, brains of chickens were misshapen and cerebellums were smaller than normal. Microscopically, cerebellar folia were reduced in size
We report a case of hydrocephalus due to brain metastasis from renal cell carcinoma treated with axitinib. A 65-year-old man had undergone right radical nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma in 2010. The pathological diagnosis indicated clear cell carcinoma G3, pT1a. After adjuvant treatment with
An infant with chronic diarrhea developed hydrocephalus following treatment with total parenteral nutrition (TPN) via jugular vein catheterization. Total parenteral nutrition is used when nutritional needs cannot be met adequately by oral alimentation. Serial computerized tomograms showed
BACKGROUND
Patients with pineal lesions typically present with the classical signs of increased intracranial pressure (headache, nausea, vomiting) and/or Parinaud's syndrome. Rare symptomatology of secondary parkinsonism attributed to pineal lesions has been previously reported in the literature. We
BACKGROUND
Zika virus (ZIKV) is an arbovirus within the Flaviviridae family, the recent spread of which has promoted public concern.
METHODS
This study outlines the clinical features, potential for teratogenicity, diagnosis, and treatment of ZIKV infection.
RESULTS
Zika virus is transmitted through
A sporadic outbreak of congential cerebellar ataxia (CCA) was seen in calves. The abnormality of this disorder of the central nervous system characteristic was cerebellar hypoplasia, which was observed in eight calves. The cerebellum was almost completely absent in some of these calves and
In many instances patients who have undergone neurosurgery are given antibiotics. Some of these patients, however, run the risk of developing pseudomembranous colitis. In our department over the past three years, 239 patients, whose hospitalization period exceeded two weeks, were given antibiotics.
A 21-year-old man presented to his local emergency department with 5 days of headache, which was dull, occipital, bilateral, nonthrobbing, and progressively worsening. It was associated with mild fever, photophobia, and neck pain and stiffness. He had no history of headache, chronic illness, recent
BACKGROUND
The pathway of Nontyphoid Salmonella meningitis, especially in exclusive breastfeeding infants, has not been well characterized.
UNASSIGNED
We analyzed data related to nontyphoid Salmonella meningitis in 4 infants.
UNASSIGNED
No diarrhea was observed and the coproculture was negative for
Zika transmission from mother to fetus and its possible sexual transmission have become a media focus in the past months as a major public health concern. While mother-to-fetus transmission, fetal neurologic manifestations or sexual transmission have never been documented for this virus before,
Salmonella sp are important causes of meningitis among neonates and young children in Malaysia. We present a case of Salmonella enteritidis meningitis in a six week old female who presented with a one week history of fever, diarrhea and seizures which was unsuccessfully treated with a third
Although rotavirus gastroenteritis is quite common in the pediatric population, secondary bacterial sepsis following rotavirus infection is a rare clinical entity. Gram-negative bacilli are the fifth most common cause of meningitis in infants but this infection rarely occurs after gastroenteritis.
Objective: To summarize the clinical course, neuroimaging and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analyses of cerebellar dysfunction in Legionnaires' disease. Methods: A case of Legionnaires' disease with pronounced cerebellar involvement was reported. The related literatures published up to
The authors present the case of a 3-year-old girl with a history of myelomeningocele repair, ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt placement for hydrocephalus, and shaken baby syndrome who presented in a hypernatremic state as a result of dehydration. At the time of presentation, the patient had
