Sellar spine associated with endocrine and neuro-ophthalmological manifestations

Carotid dissection and carotid occlusion with stroke: neuro-ophthalmological manifestations

We assessed the prevalence and characteristics of neuro-ophthalmological manifestations (NOMs) in patients with stroke due to internal carotid artery (ICA) disease. NOMs were evaluated in 81 patients with ICA dissection and 229 patients with ICA atherosclerotic occlusion from the Lausanne Stroke Registry. NOMs, seen in 57% of patients with ICA dissection consisted of visual field defect (32%), ...

Neuro-ophthalmological disorders in HIV infected subjects with neurological manifestations.

AIMS To determine the frequency and features of neuro-ophthalmological manifestations in neurologically symptomatic HIV infected patients and to assess whether or not the visual evoked potential (VEP) features in these patients differ from those of neurologically asymptomatic HIV infected patients. METHODS Neuro-ophthalmological evaluation was performed in 166 neurologically symptomatic confi...

Some neuro-ophthalmological observations.

Postnatal sellar spine growth

BACKGROUND A sellar spine is a bony spur protruding anteriorly from the central portion of the dorsum sellae. Its etiology is an ossified notochordal remnant of the cephalic end of the notochord. It is presumed to be a congenital malformation based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of sellar spine in a 4-year-old boy. A sellar spine should therefore be detectable at birth with or wit...

Endocrine-Manifestations of Cirrhosis and Liver Disease

The liver is involved in the synthesis and metabolism of many kinds of hormones, various abnormalities hormone levels are found in advanced liver disease. For example the liver is, extremely sensitive to changes in insulin or glucagon levels. The liver is the primary organ of iron storage is frequently involved, diabetes is common in patients with iron overload and may be seen in cirrhosis. Chr...
