We present a case of tumoral multiple sclerosis in a 66-year-old male and emphasize two clinical features: (1) Multiple well-demarcated massive enhanced lesions except for the central area, which was accompanied with severe perifocal edema, occurred within the cerebral hemispheres and should be
We report a case of fatal neurogenic pulmonary edema in progressive multiple sclerosis (MS). The patient had one isolated relapse-like episode. Six years later progressive disease began, lasting 5 years until unexpected death during sleep. Medico-legal autopsy revealed pulmonary edema and
BACKGROUND
Neurogenic pulmonary edema may be a complication of multiple neurological processes. Although there is debate regarding the underlying pathophysiology, the recognition of neurogenic pulmonary edema is vitally important because of the high-potential for mortality and need for treatment of
OBJECTIVE
We aimed to analyze the effects of adjunctive posterior sub-Tenon capsule triamcinolone acetonide injection in the treatment of intermediate uveitis macular edema in multiple sclerosis patients that could not be controlled by systemic corticosteroid medications and
We describe a young woman who developed left ventricular failure and pulmonary edema during fulminant onset of multiple sclerosis. One of the numerous plaques was located in the left inferior cerebellar peduncle near the dorsal motor vagal and solitary tract nuclei. Within two days pulmonary edema
Background: Patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) have a higher incidence of uveitis compared with the general population. Fingolimod, a first line disease modifying drug used in multiple sclerosis, may cause macular edema and thus
The effect of edema on metabolic changes in contrast-enhancing multiple sclerosis lesions was studied by combining quantification of proton MR spectra with segmentation of the volume-of-interest, which was based on biexponential T(2) relaxation. All lesions showed a second component (s(long)) with a
OBJECTIVE
In multiple sclerosis (MS) patients, loss of mobility leads to edema of the legs and raises their risk of thrombosis. They cannot use pharmacological prophylaxis over the long course of the disease. Elastic compression stockings are indicated to prevent venous thrombosis for hypomobile
The presence of a ground substance in brain provides a mechanism by which edema localized to one region of the white matter might occur without spreading diffusely into the adjacent tissues. The most common such localization is the sparing of the arcuate white matter when the deeper white matter is
The acid mucopolysaccharides of brain tissues are disclosed by their metachromatic staining with toluidine blue following saponification with potassium hydroxide, presumably as a result of the liberation of acid groups previously esterified. Earlier histochemical studies had disclosed the presence
It is widely accepted that acute demyelinating plaques in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) demonstrate increased apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and increased diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) signals on MRI. These imaging characteristics in acute MS lesions have been postulated to be due
BACKGROUND
Neurogenic pulmonary edema (NPE) occurs in the setting of an acute neurological insult and in the absence of a primary cardiopulmonary cause. No unifying theory on NPE pathogenesis exists. NPE triggered by a discrete neurological lesion is rare, but such cases offer valuable insight into
OBJECTIVE
To define the percentage of magnetization transfer of multiple sclerosis (MS) plaques, ischemic white matter lesions, and vasogenic edema to determine whether this measurement can help differentiate these entities.
METHODS
Findings were compared in 25 patients with proved MS, 20 patients
Altered cardiovascular and respiratory function is uncommonly encountered in multiple sclerosis, though it may appear late in the course of the disease [4]. Episodes of acute ventilatory failure due to autonomic and/or voluntary respiratory function paralysis have already been described. These
BACKGROUND
Microcystic macular edema (MME) and inner nuclear layer thickening (INL) were described in multiple sclerosis (MS) and neuromyelitis optica (NMO) patients using optical coherence tomography (OCT). The cause of these findings is currently unknown and a relation to inflammatory or
