Neuro-Behçets in a Child
We describe a case of neuro-Behçet disease diagnosed in a 12-year-old girl. This patient presented with recurrent oral ulcers, incontinence, spastic gait, blurry vision, and asymmetrical lower extremity hypertonia. Extensive testing revealed punctate lesions through the central nervous system, vitritis, papillitis, and uveitis. A thorough infectious and neoplastic workup was negative. She was t...
متن کاملPilomyxoid Astrocytoma of the Brainstem
A pilomyxoid astrocytoma is a recently described tumor that occurs predominantly in the hypothalamic-chiasmatic region and is rarely found elsewhere. It has similar features as pilocytic astrocytomas, but has distinct histological characteristics and a poorer prognosis. A pilomyxoid astrocytoma is an aggressive tumor, and increased awareness is necessary with a suspect case. We present the firs...

متن کاملErdheim-Chester Disease as a Mimic of IgG4-Related Disease
Immunoglobulin-G4 (IgG4)-related disease (IgG4RD) is a fibro-inflammatory disorder characterized by tissue-infiltrating IgG4 plasma cells, and, often, high serum IgG4. Several autoimmune, infectious, or proliferative conditions mimic IgG4RD. Erdheim-Chester disease (ECD) is a rare non-Langerhans cell histiocytosis, characterized by foamy histiocytic infiltration, fibrosis, and chronic inflammat...
متن کاملJuvenile pilocytic astrocytoma of the brainstem in children.
OBJECT In reports involving the operative treatment of brainstem tumors, multiple histological types are often grouped together. To determine prognosis after resection, histology-specific data may be helpful. METHODS Twenty-eight patients with juvenile pilocytic astrocytoma (JPA) of the brainstem (six in the midbrain, four in the pons, and 18 in the medulla) were identified from the medical r...
