Neurocysticercosis (NCC) is a prevalent parasitic infection of the central nervous system (CNS) caused by Taenia solium larvae. It commonly found in developing countries with high incidence both NCC and CNS tuberculosis. In cases where patients have history pulmonary tuberculosis, lesions arising from can be misdiagnosed as tuberculomas. Furthermore, when papilledema (a sign raised intracranial...

Oral isotretinoin is a well-known, effective medication used in the treatment of severe cystic acne. While efficacious, potential side effects are often discussed and may cause concern for patients. Although most this mild, other more concerning adverse have been reported. Of note, has to affect central nervous system (CNS), causing headaches, pseudotumor cerebri, fetal CNS malformations. In co...

Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is a complex clinical syndrome which its components are less clearly recognized and includes heterogeneous demonstrations engaging both central and peripheral nervous system along with disabling effects. This disease is called "thousand faces" due to these heterogeneous demonstrations. This gap exists while 75% of adults and children with SLE may dea...

BackgroundLimited literature exists on Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) findings in COVID-19 patients with neurological symptoms. In this review, we conducted a descriptive analysis of CSF to understand prognosis and explore therapeutic options.MethodsWe searched PubMed, Google Scholar, Scopus databases using the keywords “SARS-CoV-2 cerebrospinal fluid” CNS Complications”" for reports related manifes...

in this investigation the effects of excess vitamin a administration during the early embryonic period were studied. intramuscular injection of a single dose of 15000,20000 or 25000 iu/kg vitamin a to pregnant balb/c strain mice on either day 7,8,9 or 10 of gestation (vaginal plug= day 0 of gestation) produced major malformations in the central nervous system (cns) including exencephaly, hydroc...

Polyomaviruses may cause human disease, particularly in immunocompromised hosts. JCV, one of the members of polyomaviridae family, is the causative agent of the neurological disease progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML), which occurs mostly in immunocompromised patients. Progressive Multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) is a progressive demyelinating disorder of the central nervous sy...

neuromuscular diseases are abnormal processes involving cns (central nervous system), pns (peripheral nervous system), nmj (neuromuscular junction), muscle or any combination of these. our goals in neuromuscular disease are maintenance of function, quality of life, educate patient and family, anticipate needs, expect change and prevent or delay complications. limb contractures and scoliosis, we...

PURPOSE To determine the characteristics, treatments and outcomes of patients with glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) or gliosarcoma (GS) and metastases outside of the central nervous system (CNS). METHODS PubMed and Web of Science searches for peer-reviewed articles pertaining to GBM/ GS patients with metastatic dissemination were conducted using the keywords gliosarcoma, glioblastoma, GBM, metas...

The present report discusses the immune and clearance system of central nervous (CNS) in terms its anatomical, physiological, biochemical properties. There is now a growing body evidence that progressive dysfunction meningeal lymphatic should be considered as risk factor for aging-related brain disorders. In addition, activity lymphatics may alter access CSF-carried neuromodulators to parenchym...
