Multiple sclerosis in an adrenoleukodystrophy carrier
X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (X-ALD) is a rare inherited metabolic disorder, in which accumulation of very long chain fatty acids (VLCFAs) results in damage to the central nervous system. As the disease is X-linked, males are affected severely, but female carriers may also present with neurological symptoms. We report the case of a young adult female, who presented with episodic sensorimotor s...
متن کاملAdult-type metachromatic leukodystrophy mimicking multiple sclerosis.
recessive lysosomal storage disease caused by a deficiency of arylsulphatase A (ASA). It is characterized by accumulation of sulphatide in the white matter in the central nervous system and peripheral nerves1. The disease is divided in four subtypes, according to onset, severity and progression of the disease: late infantile (before age 4), early juvenile (age 4 to 6), late juvenile (age 6 to 1...
متن کاملRecent onset disequilibrium mimicking acute vestibulopathy in early multiple sclerosis.
The differential diagnosis of patients with acute unilateral vestibulopathy rests in the proper clinical assessment and use of selected tests of vestibular function. In case of a central nervous system lesion as in Multiple Sclerosis, the case shown here, it is of particular importance to observe congruency between severity of symptoms and signs and, of topographic diagnosis. We report a case o...
متن کاملNeurenteric cysts of the spinal cord mimicking multiple sclerosis.
A 54-year-old man died following a 20-year course of intermittent neurologic symptoms. He carried a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis, with most severe involvement thought to be in the spinal cord. At autopsy, two neurenteric (enterogenous) cysts were found to indent the anterior spinal cord -- at the T4 and T11 cord levels. Partial diplomyelia was present in the lumbo-sacral cord. These findings...
متن کاملMultiple sclerosis plaque mimicking tumour on computed tomography.
by early diagnosis of testicular disease is evidence against "reseeding" of the marrow from the testis or merely evidence of failure to detect minimal disease in the testicle. The reasons for the high incidence of testicular relapse in some centres are not clear; in general it appears that schedules associated with a high risk of testicular infiltration are also those associated with a high ris...
