GBS and its MFS variant are acute polyneuropathies that are considered to represent a continuum rather than distinct entities, due to the overlap in their clinical features. Enhancement of the CE roots represents the neuroradiologic hallmark of GBS, while findings of neuroimaging studies in MFS are usually unremarkable. Our purpose was to evaluate the MR imaging findings of polyneuropathy in 17...

Neurosyphilis (NS) is a rarely reported disease, with neurological manifestations occurring in the late stages of infection. The incidence NS has steadily increased, particularly increased cases human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection among homosexual partners, and can occur at any stage disease. In this case report, we present 53-year-old man HIV who presented gradual onset vertigo over c...

In the article “The Evaluation of Polyneuropathies” by Burns et al.,1 legend for figure 1 should say that “blue font indicates predominantly axonal polyneuropathies.” The authors regret error.

This study was undertaken to determine whether anti-GM1 titres are raised in polyneuropathies of unknown origin and whether determination of these titres is useful for diagnosing these conditions. The study population comprised 20 controls (aged 36-88 years), 12 patients with polyneuropathies of known origin (aged 31-81 years) and 15 patients with polyneuropathies of unknown origin (aged 40-77 ...

Only a few studies have been reported describing polyneuropathies in a series of children. To study the clinical and neurophysiological spectrum of polyneuropathies in a large series of children and obtain an overview of their etiologies, this retrospective study reevaluated all electromyograms and electrophysiologic studies performed between 1995 and 2004 in children under 17 years of age at t...

INTRODUCTION In this investigation we studied clinical and laboratory features of polyneuropathies in patients with serum IgM binding to the trisulfated disaccharide IdoA2S-GlcNS-6S (TS-HDS). METHODS We retrospectively compared 58 patients with selective IgM binding to TS-HDS to 41 consecutive patients with polyneuropathies without TS-HDS binding. RESULTS Patients with IgM vs. TS-HDS common...

Primary intraosseous hemangiomas are benign, vascular malformations that account for approximately 1% of all primary bone neoplasms. These tumors are mostly found in vertebral bodies and are rarely seen in the calvarium, where they represent 0.2% of bony neoplasms. When found in the skull, they tend to present with vague symptoms and do not have the typical radiological findings suggestive of h...
