چکیده
The clinical features of benign convulsions with mild gastroenteritis (CwG) were studied retrospectively in 62 patients hospitalized (Jan 2000-March 2006) at St Mary's Hospital, Kurume City, Japan. Viral infections confirmed in 71% of fecal specimens were rotavirus in 30 patients, norovirus in 9, sapovirus in 2, adenovirus in 2, and coxsackievirus A4 in 1. Age of patients with norovirus (16.7 +/2.7 months) was significantly younger than those with rotavirus (23 +/8.7 months). Duration of seizures due to norovirus (11.8 +/12 h)

Extradural arachnoid cysts are rare lesions which may produce symptoms by compressing the spinal cord or nerve roots. Surgery is the treatment of choice in such lesions but asymptomatic patients can be managed conservatively. We present three cases of symptomatic extradural arachnoid cysts managed at our institute. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) done in all cases showed an extradural arachnoi...

متن کاملSpinal extradural arachnoid cysts: clinical, radiological, and surgical features.
Extradural arachnoid cysts in the spine are rare and are seldom a cause of spinal cord compression. They are thought to arise from congenital defects in the dura mater, and they almost always communicate with the intrathecal subarachnoid space through a small defect in the dura. The mainstay of treatment in patients with neurological symptoms is surgical removal of the cyst together with ligati...
