Superior ophthalmic vein thrombosis may be unilateral or bilateral and may or may not be associated with cavernous sinus thrombosis. Thirty-year old male presented with headache, altered sensorium and mild neck stiffness. He had conjunctival congestion and mild restriction of ocular movements on examination without any orbital bruit. No visual impairment or field defects were noted. CT and cont...
TLR2 signaling participates in the pathogenesis of pneumococcal meningitis. In infant rats, the TLR2 agonist Pam(3)CysSK(4) was applied intracisternally (0.5 microg in 10 microl saline) alone or after induction of pneumococcal meningitis to investigate the effect of TLR2 activation on cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) inflammation and hippocampal apoptosis. A dose effect of Pam(3)CysSK(4) on apoptosis ...
BACKGROUND Immune mechanisms are included in stroke pathophysiologic factors, but the frequency and role of intrathecal antibodies is unclear and diagnostic tests are not routinely performed on cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). OBJECTIVE To determine the frequency of intrathecal immunoglobulin synthesis in a well-characterized cohort of patients who experienced “noninflammatory”acute stroke. DESIG...
We studied 35 patients with chronic meningitis. The neurological abnormalities included aseptic meningitis, cranial neuropathy (mostly facial palsy), motor and sensory peripheral radiculoneuropathy, and myelitis. Neurological symptoms were sometimes preceded by erythema chronicum migrans or an insect bite and were often accompanied by fever, malaise, profound fatigue, and weight loss. The cereb...
BACKGROUND We evaluated the frequency and prognostic impact of meningeal dissemination (MD) in immunocompetent adult patients with primary central nervous system lymphoma treated in a randomized phase III trial. PATIENTS AND METHODS MD was evaluated at study entry and defined by lymphoma proof in the meningeal compartment detected by at least one of the following methods: cerebrospinal fluid ...
Endocannabinoids (ECs) are involved in immunomodulation, neuroprotection and control of inflammation in the central nervous system (CNS). Activation of cannabinoid type 2 receptors (CB2) is known to diminish the release of pro-inflammatory factors and enhance the secretion of anti-inflammatory cytokines. Furthermore, the endocannabinoid 2-arachidonoyl glycerol (2-AG) has been proved to induce t...
omas, and is limited to the cranial-spinal axis, without systemic disease. A known high-risk group for PCNSL comprises patients with immunosuppression, but in the last 15-20 years there has been a threefold increase in patients who are immunocompetent, and the causative factors for this increase are unknown [l-31. PCNSL commonly presents as a rapidly space-occupying lesion. Rarely, patients wit...
Anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (anti-NMDAR) encephalitis, a recently defined and frequently misdiagnosed disease characterized by psychiatric symptoms, seizures, movement disorders and autonomic dysfunction, has been observed predominantly in young females with ovarian teratoma. Conventional imaging techniques, including computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), are oft...
A 62-year-old woman presented with insidious onset of depressive mood and progressive difficulties with daily activities. She had no diarrhea, abdominal cramps, arthralgia, weight loss, or palpable lymphadenopathy. Physical examination revealed fever, delirium, bilateral upper motor neuron signs, and myorhythmic movements1 (see the video on the Neurology Web site [www. neurology.org]). Supranuc...
Shyam S. Moudgil, MD Three weeks after developing zoster rash, a 34-yearold, previously healthy woman presented with right arm weakness and gait dysfunction. MRI of the cervical spine revealed abnormal cord signal (figure). CSF demonstrated lymphocytic pleocytosis, elevated immunoglobulin G (IgG) index, and anti–varicella zoster virus (VZV) IgG antibodies. VZV DNA was not detected. She was trea...
