[Confusion as a presentation symptom of pseudomigraine with pleocytosis in a paediatric patient].
Transient headache and neurological deficits with cerebrospinal fluid lymphocytic pleocytosis (Handl) syndrome is a rare condition of unknown origin that is characterized by episodes of severe headache, transient neurological deficits that recur over less than 3 months, and lymphocytic pleocytosis in CSF. We report the case of a 14 year-old girl who presented with headache and vomiting that las...
متن کاملSymptomatic intracranial hypertension during recovery from the syndrome of headache with neurologic deficits and cerebrospinal fluid lymphocytosis (HANDL).
The syndrome of headache with neurologic deficits and cerebrospinal fluid lymphocytosis (HANDL) is rare; it comprises migrainous headaches (generally in headache-naïve people), fluctuating neurological symptoms and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) lymphocytosis. The syndrome generally runs a benign, self-limiting course over weeks. A small proportion of patients develop intracranial hypertension as a ...
متن کاملSpontaneous Intracranial Hypotension Plus Cerebral Venous Thrombosis: A Case Report Study
This is a case study of a 34-year-old woman who was admitted to hospital with a history of severe orthostatic headache. She was diagnosed as having spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) by undetectable cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pressure at lumbar puncture, and with evidence of diffuse dural enhancement of the brain detected by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). However, the contrast-enhance...
متن کاملThe role of three-dimensional fast spin-echo magnetic resonance myelography in the detection of cerebrospinal fluid leakage.
The majority of cases of spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) result from spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks. The disorder has a broad clinical and imaging spectrum, with substantial variability in clinical and imaging features, in CSF findings, and in response to treatment. Headache is the most common symptom, and is typically orthostatic, but with chronicity the orthostatic fea...
متن کاملProgressive visual and hearing loss as looming manifestations of spinal meningeal melanocytoma
Abstract Meningeal melanocytoma is a rare tumor of nervous system, which originates from leptomeningeal melanocytes. The locations of melanocytoma in the nervous system are most frequently in the posterior fossa or along the spinal cord, and usually appear as an extra-axial mass. The manifestations of tumor are most often due to its compressing effect on adjacent nervous structures that c...
