Biochemical studies in Nevin-Jones syndrome

Biochemical studies in Nevin-Jones syndrome.

The lipid profiles of the brain in four cases of Nevin-Jones syndrome are described. A loss of phosphatidyl ethanolamine was found in both white matter and cortex in two cases as well as a more general loss of lipids in the cortex in one patient; there was a normal cerebrosidesulphatide ratio in myelin. These findings indicate a general loss of myelin over a period of time. The distribution of ...

Kiloh-Nevin syndrome: a compression neuropathy or brachial plexus neuritis?

Kiloh-Nevin syndrome was first described in 1948 by Parsonage and Turner and further defined in 1952 by Kiloh and Nevin. The aetiology is highly debated. Two common causes of Kiloh-Nevin syndrome are compression neuropathy and brachial plexus neuritis. In this study the results in six patients who were treated operatively and were evaluated after a mean follow-up of 42 months (range: 24 to 60),...
