Concurrence of Multiple Sclerosis and Brain Tumors

Concurrence of Multiple Sclerosis and Brain Tumors

INTRODUCTION Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic demyelinating inflammatory disease of the central nervous system (CNS) with multifactorial pathogenesis that includes genetic and environmental factors. A primary brain tumor is a neoplasm developing from the cells of the brain. There is high heterogeneity of primary brain tumors (about 100 different types); however, most of them develop from th...

Concurrence of multiple sclerosis and glioma.

Three cases are reported of concurrence of malignant gliomas (astrocytomas and glioblastomas) with multiple sclerosis (MS). This situation may lead to considerable diagnostic difficulties, yet an accurate appraisal is of prognostic, if not therapeutic, value. There is suggestive but inconclusive evidence that the two conditions may be causally related, malignant astrocytic tumours arising from ...

Concurrence of Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis and Multiple Sclerosis

We report a 21-year-old female patient known to have Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) who later developed multiple sclerosis (MS). The disease was documented on the brain and cerebral magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and the visual evoked potential. Our case emphasizes the need to evaluate the symptoms and brain MRI carefully. The concurrence of MS and JIA is uncommon. The possible relations...

brain radiation and possible presentation of multiple sclerosis

normal 0 false false false en-us x-none ar-sa radiation therapies are commonly used for malignant or metastatic brain tumors for curative and palliative use. the radiation-induced neurotoxicity includes both parenchymal and vascular damage. here we report the case of a 43-year-old woman who developed multiple sclerosis (ms) 9 months after she underwent the last session of radiotherapy for the d...
