Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy Syndrome (PRES) refers to a clinicoradiologic entity with characteristic features on neuro-imaging and non-specific symptoms comprising headache, confusion, visual disturbances and seizures. The lesions in PRES are thought to be due to vasogenic oedema, predominantly in the posterior cerebral hemispheres, and are reversible with appropriate management. We rep...

Tuberosclerosis complex (TSC) is one of the most frequent genetic causes of epilepsy. A 3-year-old boy was reffered to Soetomo Hospital, Surabaya, Indonesia with chief complain of intractable seizures. The seizures were frequent and various in type.

Among three recognised clinical phenotypes, type 3a Gaucher's disease is characterised by mild to severe systemic disease, neurological manifestations and myoclonic seizures. We report the long term clinical and electrophysiological follow-up of a 27-year old man with a diagnosis of type 3a Gaucher's disease, which was confirmed by bone marrow biopsy examination and leukocyte glucocerebrosidase...

We wish to show our experiance with threating a rare congenital brain malformation-encephalocele. It is a protusion of brain matter with greater incidence in the Far East. Our case is even more curious because of the site of occurrence-frontobasal. Most of encephalocele occur in the occipital region. In this article we report a case of a 57-year-old woman, without deformations on the face, whic...
