Clinical Reasoning: an unusual cause of multiple cranial nerve impairment.
SECTION 1 In January 2009, an 89-year-old Caucasian man was referred to our hospital for progressive multiple cranial neuropathies. His past medical history included arterial hypertension, acute pancreatitis, heart failure, and in situ cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) in the left temporal scalp, which was treated with total local excision (negative margin) in 2001. Two years later (2003)...
متن کاملNasal cause of sixth cranial nerve palsy.
Anatomically the cavernous sinus is closely related to the sphenoid sinus and the nasopharynx. Sphenoid sinusitis, as demonstrated in the case can affect the nerves which are contained within it. Apart from the sinus, a direct extension from a nasopharyngeal lesion is commonly encountered to cause diplopia, owing to the sixth nerve involvement. The provisional diagnosis should be a nasopharynge...
متن کاملAn Unusual Cause of Pseudomedian Nerve Palsy
We describe a patient who presented with an acute paresis of her distal right hand suggesting a peripheral median nerve lesion. However, on clinical examination a peripheral origin could not be verified, prompting further investigation. Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging revealed an acute ischaemic lesion in the hand knob area of the motor cortex. Isolated hand palsy in association w...
متن کاملNecrotising otitis externa: an unusual cause of cranial nerve palsy in a diabetic haemodialysis patient.
We present an unusual case of necrotising otitis externa (NOE) causing a lower motor neurone facial nerve palsy in a patient with diabetes mellitus and receiving maintenance haemodialysis for end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Pseudomonas aeruginosa is the most common pathogen isolated in NOE, although our case involved the non-typical pathogens Aspergillus flavus and Proteus mirabilis. We discuss...
متن کاملA case of neurosarcoidosis presenting with multiple cranial nerve palsy.
Sarcoidosis is a multisystem disease with neurological involvement seen in only 5% of patients. Cranial neuropathy is a common mode of presentation. Out of the cranial nerves, seventh cranial nerve either unilateral or bilateral, is usually involved though sarcoidal lesions may implicate every cranial nerve. Other cranial nerves, commonly involved are optic, sensory component of trigeminal and ...
