Dear editor, Lesions involving the hypothalamus with various etiologies such as tumors, stroke, neurosarcoidosis, Wernicke’s encephalopathy, encephalitis, traumatic brain injury, and hydrocephalus can disrupt normal thermoregulation. There have been rare reports of demyelination in the hypothalamus presenting with dysregulated thermoregulation. For instance, hypothermia has been reported in mul...
متن کاملSuccessful trabeculotomy in a patient with corticosteroid-induced glaucoma with anti-aquaporin 4 antibody-positive neuromyelitis optica: a case report
INTRODUCTION Corticosteroid therapy is a first-choice treatment for anti-aquaporin 4 antibody-positive neuromyelitis optica. Although we expected corticosteroid-induced glaucoma as a potential complication of the therapy, there are no reports in the literature describing it. In this report, we describe a case of successful trabeculotomy performed on a patient with corticosteroid-induced glaucom...

متن کاملAquaporin-4 antibody positive neuromyelitis optica with syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion.
Neuromyelitis optica (NMO) has been reported to be associated with endocrinopathies, such as amenorrhea, galactorrhea, and diabetes mellitus. However, its association with the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH) is extremely rare. We herein report an adult case of NMO with SIADH in a female Chinese patient. The patient was aquaporin-4 antibody positive, and her hypo...
متن کاملHypercomplementemia at relapse in patients with anti-aquaporin-4 antibody.
OBJECTIVE Because Asian patients with opticospinal multiple sclerosis (OSMS) frequently have anti-aquaporin-4 (AQP4) antibody, complement-mediated disruption of astrocyte foot processes is proposed but not yet proven. We aimed to clarify whether complement consumption occurs at relapse in anti-AQP4 antibody-positive patients. METHODS We analyzed serum CH50, C3, C4, and C-reactive protein (CRP...
