A Central Nervous Deficiency Syndrome

central nervous system vasculitis in a patient with myelodysplastic syndrome

myelodysplastic syndromes (mds) are a group of hematological disorders ranging from chronic refractory anemia to leukemia. there are some reports about association of mds with autoimmune disorders and vasculitis. in this study we describe a patient with mds and vasculitis presenting with central nervous system (cns) involvement. a clinical response to immunosuppressive therapy was also observed...

HYPERVITAMINOSIS A-INDUCED CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DEFECTS

In this investigation the effects of excess vitamin A administration during the early embryonic period were studied. Intramuscular injection of a single dose of 15000,20000 or 25000 IU/kg vitamin A to pregnant Balb/c strain mice on either day 7,8,9 or 10 of gestation (vaginal plug= day 0 of gestation) produced major malformations in the central nervous system (CNS) including exencephaly, h...

Is Hemorrhagic Demyelinating Lesions of Central Nervous System a Spectrum?

Central nervous system malformations in Mohr's syndrome.

A boy with severe developmental delay, bilateral, symmetrical hallucal duplication, and accessory alveolar frenula was found to have radiological evidence of a large arachnoid cyst compressing the cerebellum and brain stem. We review neurological abnormalities in Mohr's syndrome.

Central nervous system mechanisms in Sjögren's syndrome.

he origin of the dry eye in Sjögren's syndrome has hardly been a subject of discussion as it is assumed that lymphoplasmocytic cell infiltration of the tear gland deteriorates its function to such a degree that it causes dry eye. Several observations, however, may not support the concept that tear gland degen-eration is the only causative factor in ocular dryness in Sjögren's syndrome. Sjögren'...
