Brain MR imaging abnormalities in primary Sjögren syndrome (pSS) are generally discrete white matter lesions. We describe a 50-year-old woman with recurrent neurologic deficits. MR imaging revealed a large brain lesion. A diagnosis of pSS was made on the basis of clinical features, positive anti-Ro and anti-La antibodies, abnormal Schirmer test findings, and salivary gland scintigraphy. The pat...

Spinal metastasis, a devastating neurologic complication of intracranial glioblastomas is not as uncommon as initially thought. It varies from 25% in supratentorial glioblastomas to 60% in infratentorial glioblastomas. The underlying pathogenesis spinal spread of high-grade gliomas is still unclear. To date, no causal responsibility of Bevacizumab (BEV) was noted. Here, we report for the first ...

Spinal epidural abscess (SEA) was first described in the medical literature in 1761 and represents a severe infection of the epidural space requiring emergent neurosurgical intervention to avoid permanent neurologic deficits [1]. Epidural abscess is a rare condition, with a reported incidence of 1 ± 2 / 10.000 of all patients admitted to hospital [2]. It is generally thought to be a "very rare,...

Cerebrovascular complications occur in 25%–70% of patients with infective endocarditis (IE). Among these complications, ischemic stroke, intracerebral hemorrhage and cerebral abscess are frequently seen usually the consequence vegetation embolization or ruptured infectious (mycotic) aneurysm. Acute subdural hematoma (ASDH) is a very rare complication IE due to multiple septic brain embolisms. P...

Cervical epidural hematomas are rare entities [1-6] that can develop from such causes as trauma, arteriovenous malformations, coagulation disturbances, pregnancy, and neoplasms. In most cases, however, they occur spontaneously or without evident cause. As vital and neurologic prognoses are unpredictable upon admission, these hematomas are considered to be neurosurgical emergencies by most autho...

Opsoclonus-myoclonus-ataxia syndrome is a heterogeneous constellation of symptoms ranging from full combination these three neurological findings to varying degrees isolated individual sign. Since the emergence coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), symptoms, syndromes, and complications associated with this multi-organ viral infection have been reported various aspects involvement are increasing...

BACKGROUND Venous air embolism is a potentially life-threatening complication of IV catheter use in horses. Despite widespread anecdotal reports of their occurrence, few cases have been reported in the literature and the prognosis is currently unknown. HYPOTHESIS/OBJECTIVES Our objective was to describe the surrounding circumstances, clinical signs, treatment, progression, and outcome of veno...

PURPOSE To describe the incidence of neurologic dysfunction following embolization of supratentorial AVMs, and to correlate findings with results of preembolization Amytal tests. MATERIALS AND METHODS Data from 147 embolizations of supratentorial AVMs following Amytal tests in 30 awake patients were analyzed retrospectively. RESULTS Of five embolizations done after a positive Amytal test, t...

Study Design Case report. Objective To report a case of remote cerebellar hemorrhage (RCH) without intraoperative dural tear after revision lumbar spine surgery. RCH is a rare postoperative complication following spine surgery. RCH has previously been reported only in cases with intraoperative dural tear or durotomy. Methods Case report and literature review. Results A 58-year-old woman underwe...
