Abstract Background: Choroid plexus (CP) is a branched structure made up of a single layer of epithelial cells and blood capillaries, forming the blood-CSF-barrier. The CSF (cerebrospinal fluid) is mainly produced from the CP. Aquaporin1 (AQP1), water channels that are highly expressed on the apical side of the membrane in choroid plexus, have a major role in mediating water transport across th...
متن کاملNeuropathology of CNS disease in Langerhans cell histiocytosis.
CNS involvement in Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a rare but potentially devastating disorder. Different types of involvement have been described by MRI. CNS changes can have space-occupying or degenerative character. Little is known about the underlying neuropathology and pathophysiology. In our study we reviewed brain samples from 12 patients with LCH. The neuropathology findings were...

Laryngeal amyloidosis is usually a localized phenomenon that is rarely accompanied by systemic involvement. Hoarseness is its most common symptom and the clinical findings in laryngoscopy are variable, nonspecific and difficult to be distinguished from other laryngea...

The choroid plexus is an important central nervous system (CNS) structure that is often neglected in pathologic and radiologic studies of intracranial diseases. The choroid plexus may serve as 1) a portal of entry for pathogens into the CNS, 2) a target for various systemic disorders, 3) a reflector of various diseases that affect the brain and meninges, or 4) a site of primary processes such a...
متن کاملFibrosis of the Choroid Plexus Filtration Membrane
We report a previously undescribed inflammatory lesion consisting of deposition of activated complement (C3d and C9neo) in association with major histocompatibility complex type II (MHC2)-positive activated microglia in choroid plexus villi exhibiting classical fibrous thickening of the pericapillary filtration membrane. The proportion of villi affected ranged from 5% to 90% in 56 adult subject...
