Central nervous involvement is common in PGM1-CDG

Glycogen storage disease-like phenotype with central nervous system involvement in a PGM1-CDG patient.

OBJECTIVES A 10-year-old boy presented with cleft palate, hepatopathy, cholecystolithiasis, myopathy, coagulopathy, hyperlipidemia, hypoglycemia, hyperuricemia, short stature, obesity, hypothyroidism, microcephaly and mild intellectual disability. The multi-systemic manifestation involving certain distinct clinical features prompted us to search for a subtype of congenital disorders of glycosyl...

P 137: Central Nervous System Involvement in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is a complex clinical syndrome which its components are less clearly recognized and includes heterogeneous demonstrations engaging both central and peripheral nervous system along with disabling effects. This disease is called "thousand faces" due to these heterogeneous demonstrations. This gap exists while 75% of adults and children with SLE may dea...

Is Hemorrhagic Demyelinating Lesions of Central Nervous System a Spectrum?

[Central nervous system involvement in Behçet's disease].

Central nervous system involvement in Behçet's disease, usually called neuro-Behçet's syndrome (NB), includes acute type and chronic progressive type. Acute NB is characterized by acute meningoencephalitis with focal lesions, presenting high intensity areas in T2-weightened images or FLAIR images on MRI scans. Cyclosporin A frequently causes acute NB. Acute NB responds to steroid therapy, and i...

Central nervous system involvement in multiple myeloma.

Involvement of the central nervous system by multiple myeloma (MM) is considered to be extremely rare. Magnetic Resonauce Imaging (MRI) is the imaging modality of choice to detect and differentiate myeloma at unusual sites. We present the case of a sixty-year-old man who was a known case of MM. In this case report MRI findings of central nervous system in myeloma lesions are reported. The purpo...
