dysarthria/edema

We report a case of a 52-year-old woman with Behcet's disease who presented with dysarthria and right-sided hemiparesis. T2-weighted and diffusion-weighted images (DWI) showed a hyperintense lesion in the left pons with a relatively decreased apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC). Imaging showed

The authors report a very rare presentation of traumatic carotid-cavernous fistula (CCF) with extensive edema of the basal ganglia and brainstem because of an anatomical variation of the basal vein of Rosenthal (BVR). A 45-year-old woman was admitted to the authors' institution for left hemiparesis,

Wilson disease (WD) is an autosomal recessive disorder, in which copper is deposited in the liver, brain, cornea and kidneys. The clinical presentation is variable, with fully expressed disease manifesting cirrhosis, neurologic damage and Kayser-Fleischer (K-F) ring on the cornea. A 24-year-old

BACKGROUND Superficial temporal artery-middle cerebral artery (STA-MCA) anastomosis is the standard treatment for Moyamoya disease (MMD). Cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome is a potential complication of this procedure and can cause local vasogenic edema and/or delayed intracerebral hemorrhage.

An 85-year-old woman was transported to our emergency room by ambulance with a complaint of slurred speech. Neurological examination revealed dysarthria only. We considered that lingual edema identified on physical examination might have influenced dysarthria. However, we were unable to perform

We identified PNKP mutations in a Norwegian woman with AOA. This patient had the typical findings with cognitive dysfunction, peripheral neuropathy, cerebellar dysarthria, horizontal nystagmus, oculomotor apraxia, and severe truncal and appendicular ataxia. In addition, she had hypoalbuminemia and

"Cerebellar" mutism refers to a specific childhood disorder in which a complete but transient loss of speech, followed by dysarthria, occurs after removal of a cerebellar tumor. We present a consecutive series of 15 children with this disorder, which we prefer to designate "mutism and subsequent

A 59-year-old woman who had been diagnosed with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) was admitted to our hospital due to paralysis in all of her limbs.

A 39-year-old man who presented with unilateral proptosis and periocular pain rapidly developed reduced consciousness, facial numbness, dysarthria, and gait ataxia from a direct carotid-cavernous fistula (CCF) with drainage into posterior fossa veins. Brain MRI revealed abnormal signal throughout

BACKGROUND The development of an intraparenchymal cyst following deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery is an uncommon complication that lacks a clearly defined management strategy. The pathophysiology is not known and may be related to perielectrode edema or cerebrospinal fluid tracking. Previous

OBJECTIVE To analyze the phenotype and genotype of CMTX1 patients with episodic transient reversible white matter involvement, and delineate the features of brain MRI in the episode and the possible mechanisms. METHODS Three Chinese probands and their family members were sequenced in the coding

A very rare case of severe calcification in brain is reported. A 49-year-old man was hit and run by a motorcar in acrossing a road on foot, and he died 1 hour later in an emergency hospital.

In this case report, we present a 61-year-old man from Moldova, living in the Czech Republic, who had worked as a locksmith on oil platforms in Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan, Sudan, and Iraq

We report a case of diplopia during continuous epidural injection presumably caused by catheter migration. A 61-year-old woman underwent shoulder surgery under general anesthesia with cervical epidural anesthesia. The epidural catheter was placed in the C6-C7 epidural space with some difficulty
