Multiple cranial nerve palsies as the initial presentation of peripheral T-cell lymphoma.
Primary non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) rarely affects the sinonasal tract and represents approximately 1.5% of all lymphomas, with a higher incidence in Asia and South America.1-3 In the United States, sinonasal lymphomas are more prevalent in elderly men and are located in the paranasal sinuses. In addition, they are usually of the B-cell subtype,1-2,4-5 in contrast to the T-cell subtype that is m...
متن کاملThe Effect of Glatiramer Acetate on Spinal Cord Volume in Relapsing‐Remitting Multiple Sclerosis
BACKGROUND Spinal cord atrophy occurs early in the multiple sclerosis (MS) disease course, is closely related to physical disability, and is a putative neuroprotective therapeutic outcome measure. OBJECTIVE This pilot study explored glatiramer acetate (GA)'s effect on spinal cord volume in patients with relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS). METHODS Fifteen patients receiving daily subcutaneous GA ...
متن کاملSpinal cord compression as the initial presentation of colorectal cancer
Background: Malignant spinal cord compression (MSCC) is most frequently seen in patients with breast, prostate and lung cancer. Five percent to 25% of MSCC cases occur as the initial presentation of malignancy. Case report: We report the case of a 43-year-old male patient with sudden onset of incomplete paraplegia. Imaging revealed spinal cord compression at the level TH 3/4 and TH 8. Emergency...
متن کاملThe effect of intramuscular interferon beta-1a on spinal cord volume in relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis
BACKGROUND Spinal cord atrophy occurs early in multiple sclerosis (MS) and impacts disability. The therapeutic effect of interferon beta-1a (IFNβ-1a) on spinal cord atrophy in patients with relapsing-remitting (RR) MS has not been explored. METHODS We retrospectively identified 16 consecutive patients receiving weekly intramuscular IFNβ-1a for 2 years [baseline age (mean ± SD) 47.7 ± 7.5 year...
متن کاملMultiple cranial neuropathies.
Patients presenting with multiple cranial neuropathies are not uncommon in neurologic clinical practice. The evaluation of these patients can often be overwhelming due to the vast and complicated etiologies as well as the potential for devastating neurologic outcomes. Dysfunction of the cranial nerves can occur anywhere in their course from intrinsic brainstem dysfunction to their peripheral co...
