Acquired demyelinating and other autoimmune disorders of the central nervous system in children.
Over the past 5 years, our knowledge has been significantly enhanced in the field of immune-mediated inflammatory disorders of central nervous system in children. These exciting developments along with identification of novel autoimmune markers have provided new diagnostic approaches and, more important, have led to appropriate immunotherapy to halt disease progression and prevent relapses. Rec...
متن کامل[Paraneoplastic syndromes of the central nervous system].
Paraneoplastic syndromes of central nervous system are rare neurologic syndromes caused by cancer but not secondary to metastases. The physiopathologic mechanisms underlying these syndromes are still under debate. We report the biological and clinical features of the most frequent paraneoplastic syndromes involving the central nervous system. Their early clinical identification might be an usef...
متن کاملPost-streptococcal autoimmune disorders of the central nervous system.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Autoimmune disease has long been intertwined with investigations of infectious causes. Antibodies that are formed against an infectious agent can, through the process of molecular mimicry, also recognize healthy cells. When this occurs, the immune system erroneously destroys the healthy cells causing autoimmune disease in addition to appropriately destroying the offending infe...
متن کاملPARANEOPLASTIC SYNDROMES OF THE NERVOUS SYSTEM Paraneoplastic syndromes of the central nervous system
Encephalopathy is a common clinical syndrome in cancer patients. The underlying causes of cancer related encephalopathies are various and mostly non-specific, such as metabolic disturbances as seen in critically ill patients. Electrolyte disturbances, hypoxia, hyperammonemia, thiamine deficiency and toxic reactions are all possible causes of encephalopathy in cancer patients. Structural lesions...
متن کاملAdaptive Immunity Is the Key to the Understanding of Autoimmune and Paraneoplastic Inflammatory Central Nervous System Disorders
There are common aspects and mechanisms between different types of autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis (MS), neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSDs), and autoimmune encephalitis (AE) as well as paraneoplastic inflammatory disorders of the central nervous system. To our present knowledge, depending on the disease, T and B cells as well as antibodies contribute to various aspe...
