摘要:

We present a patient with palsy of the third nerve nuclear complex secondary to cerebral toxoplasmosis. There was a unique lesion by magnetic resonance and there were no other neurological symptoms. A complete radiographic and clinical resolution was obtained by specific treatment. Such neurological symptoms in cases of toxoplasmosis have not been reported previously.

摘要:

An 8 year old sister of a patient undergoing investigations for Niemann‐Pick type IIS was observed to have mild difficulties in making downward saccades. She had no other symptoms apart from longstanding mild learning difficulties. Detailed eye movement assessment, using horizontal and vertical electro‐oculography and video monitoring, revealed normal horizontal but abnormal vertical eye movements. Vertical downward saccades were absent and could only be achieved by mobilizing the bead to allow for headthrusts. Upward saccades were present at initial presentation, however a subsequent recording after 10 months revealed an inability to make upward saccades unless accompanied by blinks. Vertical optokinetic nystagmus was absent, although vertical smooth pursuit and vestibular ocular reflex were present. Cultured skin fibroblasts showed defective cholesterol esterification which confirmed the diagnosis of Niemann‐Pick type IIS (previously known as type C). Vertical saccade palsy has been described as part of the neurological deficits, however it has not been previously reported as the presenting sign of Niemann‐Pick t

摘要:

We report a patient with a chronic paraparesis associated with human T‐lymphotropic virus I infection (HTLV‐I antibodies were present in blood and CSF), which began after a dental extraction. We suggest the possible relation of the dental procedure with the triggering of the dise
