Primary oxalosis is a rare disorder of oxalate metabolism, characterized by nephrocalcinosis, nephrolithiasis, and extrarenal deposition of calcium oxalate in several tissues, including the heart. We report the case of a 34-year-old man with sudden right hemiparesis and aphasia from the occlusion of the left middle cerebral artery. Clinical features and the results of laboratory investigations ...

We report on a middle-aged man with end-stage renal failure apparently secondary to recurrent renal stones. He developed systemic oxalosis soon after commencing dialysis. The diagnosis of primary hyperoxaluria type 1 was supported by the finding of high dialysate glycolate excretion. The patient subsequently received an isolated cadaveric renal transplant, but the outcome was a rapid recurrence...

A case of primary hyperoxaluria and oxalosis with chronic renal failure, crystalline myocarditis, and disseminated calcium oxalate crystal deposition in various tissues including the brain and meninges is described. Deposition of crystals in brain and meninges is exceptionally rare in primary oxalosis.

UNLABELLED Ethylene glycol toxicity can have various clinical presentations with different organ system involvements. These presentations are independent of the level of toxicity. We describe a 31 years old male who presented with ethylene glycol toxicity manifesting as anuric renal failure who subsequently developed neurological sequela of its toxicity. Ethylene glycol is known to be metaboliz...

This reports crystallographic and light and electron microscopic findings in a previously undescribed entity: calcium oxalate retinopathy associated with generalized oxalosis. The affected patient was a 66-year-old vohite male with a previous history of mild hypertensive renal disease who had undergone prolonged abdominal surgery under methoxyfiurane (MOF; Penthrane) anesthesia. He subsequently...

A 28-year-old woman presented with pancytopenia. Her past medical history was significant for primary hyperoxaluria. She had recurrent renal stones and urinary tract infections since the age of 5 years. Subsequently she developed uremic symptoms with end-stage renal disease. For the past 5 years she required regular hemodialysis and transfusions. There was no history of joint pain, cardiac prob...
