摘要:

Among 103 neuro‐Behçet's disease (NBD) patients seen in an 8‐year period, 16 patients with intracranial hypertension (IH) are presented. The main underlying cause of IH was cerebral venous thrombosis (10 patients), and one patient showed vena cava superior thrombosis, while in three patients angiographies and/or MRI studies remained negative. In the remaining two patients the investigations were not adequate to exclude cerebral venous thrombosis. In a mean follow‐up period of 5 years, three patients had one recurrence of IH, and the three cases in whom cerebral venous thrombosis could not be documented despite adequate investigation had frequent relapses. On follow‐up, none of the patients had any other types of neurologic involvement. Among the other manifestations of Behçet's disease thrombophlebitis was significantly higher, whereas uveitis was significantly lower in IH patients when compared with our remaining NBD patients. Intracranial hypertension is one of the major types of neurologic involvement in Behçet's disease, and seems to have different pathogenetic implications, usually with a better outcome than other types of neurologic i

摘要:

We report a patient who exhibited severe tremor in the right hand and fingers primarily while writing. Tremor showed no improvement with various medications, including proplanolol and clonazepam. Writing and drawing difficulties of the patient gradually decreased from the third week of lisuride treatment, and his tremor was totally abolished at the end of the eighth week. When he interrupted lisuride treatment for a few days, his tremor increased again over the next few days. He made the second full recovery after new treatment with lisuride. Regarding its response to a dopaminergic agonist, it may be suggested that primary writing tremor might arise in basal ganglia or related structures in the brain.

摘要:

Transient cortical blindness in the postpartum period is a rare neurological event. Usually bilateral occipital involvement appears as a manifestation of pre‐eclampsia or eclampsia (Royburtet al., 1991; Cunningham and Lindheimer, 1992). We report a case of isolated cortical blindness as the only manifestation of pregnancy‐induced hypertension in the postpartum per

摘要:

After a 4‐month history of intermittent headache an intrasellar benign teratoma was found and totally removed in a 19‐year‐old male patient who became symptom‐free. Three years later a third ventricle germinoma developed which was also totally removed, followed by local radiotherapy. Eight months later a spinal tumour evolved, chemotherapy and radiotherapy resulted in full recovery. Eighteen months later a frontal meningeal tumour appeared and was treated by chemotherapy. Three months later—with chemotherapy—tumorous meningitis developed and the patient died 5 years after the first operation. The results of tumour‐markers monitoring, histology, electronmicroscopy and immunohistochemistry referred to a germinoma with multiple metastases and meningeal seeding after total removal of an intrasellar ma

摘要:

We report an unusual case of Mediterranean spotted fever in a 62‐year‐old woman with encephalo‐myelo‐meningo‐polyneuritis. Cerebral dysfunction reverted completely in a few days, but a slight spastic paraparesis remains as
