Spontaneous leaking craniopharyngioma causing preoperative chemical meningitis
Spontaneous chemical meningitis in craniopharyngioma is a rare phenomenon. The cause of this meningitis is due to rupture of craniopharyngioma and release of chemical contents particularly cholesterol crystals. We report an interesting case of chemical meningitis due to a leaking craniopharyngioma rather than a ruptured one. Very few cases of leaking craniopharyngioma have been reported in the ...

متن کاملSmall cerebellar strokes may mimic labyrinthine lesions.
Thirty nine cases of cerebellar infarct and haemorrhage were seen over a period of 3 years. Of these, 69% had no impairment of consciousness. Six cases had nystagmus and gait ataxia as their only abnormal signs. Small cerebellar strokes may present with only vertigo, unsteady gait, and unidirectional nystagmus, thus mimicking labyrinthine lesions. Care in managing vertigo attacks in patients wi...
متن کاملMultiple sclerosis with recurrent meningitis.
Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune demyelinating disease that is rarely associated with aseptic meningitis. However, certain syndromes causing aseptic meningitis are often associated with central nervous system demyelination that mimics multiple sclerosis (MS). Since many of these syndromes are potentially treatable, unmasking an alternative diagnosis is essential whenever an MS-like illness a...
