We reported a 39-year-old, left-handed man with sudden onset hypogeusia. Taste threshold examined by a filter-paper disc method was elevated remarkably on both sides of the tongue. Additionally, the patient showed mild right central facial nerve palsy and mild weakness in the right upper limb. Brain
We reported a 71-year-old woman with sudden-onset hypogeusia. The patient showed no other neurological signs or symptoms except for the taste disturbance. She lost bitter, salty, sour or sweet sensation on the right half of the tongue. A brain CT scan revealed a small hemorrhage in the right
Animal studies have recently demonstrated that the gustatory pathway ascends in the brainstem ipsilaterally without crossing, and terminates in the ipsilateral lower caudal limit of the thalamus, i.e., the nucleus ventralis posteromedialis parvocellularis (VPMpc). However, little is yet known about
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the clinical pathological feature and diagnostic criteria of tongue amyloidosis (AL).
METHODS
During 1992 to 2005, 25 patients pathologically diagnosed as tongue AL in our hospital were reviewed retrospectively, and all of them had no enlarged tongue. Haematoxylin and eosin
Loss or alteration of taste is a rare phenomenon that may be idiopathic or may be caused by head trauma, medication use or systemic and local factors including various invasive dental procedures resulting in nerve damage. We present an unusual case of generalized taste change following an oral
Introduction: The outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has become one of the most serious pandemics of the recent times. Since this pandemic began, there have been numerous reports about the COVID-19 involvement of the nervous
COVID-19, in most patients, presents with mild flu-like illness. Elderly patients with comorbidities, like hypertension, diabetes, or lung and cardiac disease, are more likely to have severe disease and deaths. Neurological complications are frequently reported in severely or critically ill patients
The cachexia-anorexia syndrome occurs in chronic pathophysiologic processes including cancer, infection with human immunodeficiency virus, bacterial and parasitic diseases, inflammatory bowel disease, liver disease, obstructive pulmonary disease, cardiovascular disease, and rheumatoid arthritis.
Anorexia is associated with disorders of all systems. Anorexia represents a consistent clinical manifestation during acute and chronic pathophysiological processes (infection, inflammation, injury, toxins, immunological reactions, malignancy and necrosis). Anorexia during disease can be beneficial
BACKGROUND
Benign osteoblastoma arising from the temporal bone is extremely rare in elderly patients. We reviewed the literature on benign osteoblastoma of the temporal bone and now propose a new classification of this pathologic entity based on its anatomical location in the temporal
A comprehensive review of the neurological disorders reported during the current COVID-19 pandemic demonstrates that infection with SARS-CoV-2 affects the central nervous system (CNS), the peripheral nervous system (PNS) and the muscle. CNS manifestations include: headache and decreased
As the current understanding of COVID-19 continues to evolve, a synthesis of the literature on the neurological impact of this novel virus may help inform clinical management and highlight potentially important avenues of investigation. Additionally, understanding the potential mechanisms of
Introduction: Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is responsible for the global spread of coronavirus disease (COVID-19). Our understanding of the impact this virus has on the nervous system is limited. Our review
