Two cases with delayed radiation necrosis of the chiasmatic region following irradiation of the hypophysis for treatment of Cushing's disease were presented. Case 1 was a 36-year-old female who had reduction of visual acuity and bitemporal hemianopsia 2 years after 60Co-irradiation therapy (total
We present a case of symptomatic radiation necrosis after gamma knife surgery for arteriovenous malformations (AVMs). Initially, at the age of 30 years the patient was treated with gamma knife surgery. Angiography performed 2 years after radiation therapy revealed that the AVMs were completely
The case of a boy affected by post-traumatic hypopituitarism associated with bitemporal hemianopia is described. While traumatic bitemporal hemianopia is not an extraordinary occurence, traumatic injuries have been rarely reported among the causes of hypopituitarism. This may be because the cranial
Radiation necrosis with massive hemorrhage is a rare complication of radiotherapy. We report the case of a male patient who had undergone radiotherapy therapy 18 years earlier and presently underwent gamma knife radiosurgery for a metastatic brain tumor in his right occipital lobe. The patient
A macular-sparing superior altitudinal hemianopia with no visuo-psychic disturbance, except impaired visual learning, was associated with bilateral ischaemic necrosis of the lingual gyrus and only partial involvement of the fusiform gyrus on the left side. It is suggested that bilateral destruction
OBJECTIVE
Demyelinizing neurological disease is a rare complication after treatment with tumor necrosis factor (TNF)α antagonists. We report on a case of multiple sclerosis after TNFα antagonist treatment and discuss its differential diagnosis.
METHODS
This is an observational case study.
RESULTS
A
A 67-year-old male presented with left temporal hemianopsia and left hemiparesis. A contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance image revealed a 4.5×3.5×5.0 cm rim-enhancing mass with central necrosis and associated edema located in the left occipital lobe. Of positron emission tomography and abdominal
A 25-year-old man with a long history of temporal lobe epilepsy developed right occipital lobe seizures and a progressive right homonymous hemianopia. MRI showed diffuse enhancement of the left temporoparieto-occipital white matter and cortical thickening of the left medial temporal lobe. The
Eleven patients with Korean (epidemic) hemorrhagic fever were each studied three times with high-resolution CT in order to demonstrate necrosis of the pituitary gland and to correlate the CT findings with the patients' pituitary function and visual fields. Seven of the 11 patients showed varying
A 14-year-old Japanese girl was admitted to Kosei General Hospital on May 28, 1987 because of disturbance of visual acuity, bitemporal hemianopsia and general fatigue. About two months before, she had noticed disturbance of visual acuity and headache. The CT scans demonstrated iso density mass in
We report a 47-year-old man who presented with partial seizures complicating focal cerebral vasculitis of the right temporal lobe. Excisional biopsy of the mass lesion revealed fibrinoid necrosis of small vessels. These vessels were infiltrated by neutrophils, eosinophils, lymphocytes, and plasma
BACKGROUND
We present a rare complication of bilateral caudate infarcts and necrosed nasoseptal flaps after endoscopic transsphenoidal resection of tuberculum sellae meningioma. This case highlights the importance of early and accurate diagnosis and treatment of a postoperative cerebrospinal fluid
Here, we report the case of a five-year-old boy with carbonic monoxide (CO) poisoning. The patient initially recovered after the initiation of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy, but lethargy as well as visual and gait disturbances appeared two days later. Left hemiparesis and mood lability also
Addisonian crisis, also commonly referred to as adrenal crisis, occurs when the cortisol produced by the adrenal glands is insufficient to meet the body's acute needs. The symptoms are nonspecific and can mimic other processes, such as sepsis. Hypotension, lethargy, and fever can all be presenting
We reported a rare case of multiple cavernous angioma accompanied with a convexity meningioma. A 41-year-old female developed generalized convulsion on October 8, 1985. Plain computed tomography (CT) scan revealed a round heterogeneous density mass in the right parietotemporal region, which was
