Discrete carcinomatous metastases in the extraocular muscles.
The orbit is a rare site for metastatic carcinoma (Duke-Elder, I952) and, although such orbital deposits may commonly involve muscle secondarily, discrete metastatic tumours in the extraocular muscles are extremely rare, as in muscle generally (Willis, I952, I953). A search of the literature has revealed four previous cases: two from carcinoma of the breast (Wintersteiner, I899; Bedford and Dan...
متن کاملProximal myopathy due to discrete carcinomatous metastases in muscle.
Two patients are described with proximal muscle weakness and electromyographic evidence of a myopathic process. In both, discrete carcinomatous metastatic deposits were found in proximal muscles. The possible clinical implications are discussed.
متن کاملNeurophysiology of extraocular muscles.
E. lye movements may be divided grossly into "tonic" and "phasic" movements. Are both of these principal types produced by the same motor nerves and muscle fibers, or are separate systems present that are functionally suited to each of the types of movements? Morphological and physiological studies demonstrate that at least two and possibly three neuromuscular systems are present in eye muscles...
متن کاملCarcinomatous meningitis: Leptomeningeal metastases in solid tumors
Leptomeningeal metastasis (LM) results from metastatic spread of cancer to the leptomeninges, giving rise to central nervous system dysfunction. Breast cancer, lung cancer, and melanoma are the most frequent causes of LM among solid tumors in adults. An early diagnosis of LM, before fixed neurologic deficits are manifest, permits earlier and potentially more effective treatment, thus leading to...
متن کاملIntermediate filaments in the human extraocular muscles.
PURPOSE To investigate the distribution of the intermediate filament (IF) proteins desmin, vimentin, and nestin in human extraocular muscles (EOMs). METHODS Healthy adult EOM samples were serially sectioned (5 and 1 μm) and processed for immunohistochemistry, with specific antibodies (Abs) against desmin, vimentin, and nestin and different myosin heavy chains (MyHCs), including the newly char...
