Dr. Felipe Slaviero – Serviço de Neurologia e Neurocirurgia Rua Teixeira Soares 640 99010-901 Passo Fundo RS Brasil. E-mail: [email protected] The malignant atrophic papulosis (MAP) was first described by Köhlmeier in 1941 and recognized as a specific entity by Degos in 1942. This rare disorder is an obstructive vasculopathy of unknown origin, characterized by vascular lesions of the s...

Legionella pneumophila is a major cause of atypical community-acquired pneumonia, which is commonly severe enough to require hospitalization. Though primarily a respiratory infection, Legionellosis involves the central nervous system (CNS) in up to 50% of patients, and diagnosis can be obscured by the absence of obvious respiratory symptomatology. A reversible diffuse encephalopathy is the most...

Goodpasture's syndrome is a rare autoimmune disorder characterized by rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis (RPGN) and alveolar hemorrhage in the presence of antiglomerular basement membrane (anti-GBM) antibodies. Central nervous system involvement is highly unusual in the absence of anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies. We report the case of a 20-year-old man with RPGN accompanied by bloody...

Introduction Localized Scleroderma (LS) has been associated with central and peripheral nervous system involvement. Facial palsy, extra-ocular movement disorders, trigeminal neuralgia and hemi-masticatory spams are described as primary neurologic involvement. Romberg hypothesized that sympathetic regulation has pathogenic relevance in facial hemiatrophy, which was reproduced experimentally by s...

is a rare and fatal hereditary disorder of unknown cause with multisystem involvement. Involvement of the central nervous system (CNS) is reported in approximately 30% of cases. Leptomeningitis, gliosis, demyelination, and lymphocyte and histiocyte infiltration of the cerebrum and cerebellum are the characteristic neuropathologic findings. We describe the serial brain MRI findings and neurologi...

Atrial myxomas are the most common primary tumors of the heart. Neurologic involvement usually occurs as a stroke with ischemic episodes. Following excision of cardiac myxomas, delayed neurologic events owing to aneurysms are rare and have not been reported from India. We report an operated case of left atrial myxoma. The patient initially presented with a stroke and 6 months after the surgery,...
