stuttering/inflammation

Compared with developmental stuttering, adult onset acquired stuttering is rare. However, several case reports describe acquired stuttering and an association with callosal pathology. Interestingly, these cases share a neuroanatomical localisation also demonstrated in developmental stuttering. We

Purpose: Spinal infarction is a rare condition and usually presents with a sudden or acute course. A prolonged course is rare and may mimic the presentation of inflammatory myelitis. Here we present a case of atypical spinal cord

OBJECTIVE In children, early differentiation among various etiologies of arterial ischemic stroke (AIS) is important. Cerebral arteriopathy is a frequently identified cause of childhood stroke. Children with arteriopathies require a different therapeutic approach from children with AIS of

Persistent atrial standstill complicating inflammatory myocarditis in a young boy is presented. The disease was marked by a stuttering course characterized by intermittent return of atrial rhythm in the form of atrial flutter and fibrillation until persistent standstill lasting till the last

The causes of unstable angina are still largely unknown. However, some facts deriving from angiographic, postmortem, and pathophysiologic studies are well established. Angiographic findings: coronary thrombi and complicated stenoses are more frequent in unstable than in stable angina. Conversely,

UNASSIGNED Spinal cord infarction (SCI) is often disabling, and the diagnosis can be challenging without an inciting event (eg, aortic surgery). Patients with a spontaneous SCI are often misdiagnosed as having transverse myelitis. Diagnostic criteria for SCI are lacking, hindering clinical care and
