BACKGROUND The uveo-meningeal syndromes are a group of disorders that share involvement of the uvea, retina, and meninges. REVIEW SUMMARY We review the clinical manifestations of uveitis and describe the infectious, inflammatory, and neoplastic conditions associated with the uveo-meningeal syndrome. CONCLUSIONS Inflammatory or autoimmune diseases are probably the most common clinically reco...

Background & objective:Primary pleural neoplasms are rare entities compared with the pleural involvement by metastatic carcinoma. The current study aimed at investigating the complete spectrum of pleural neoplasms and differentiating between them with the aid of immunohistochemistry (IHC). Methods: Consecutive pleu...

* Current address: Department of Neurology Drammen Hospital Vestre Viken Health Authority Headache with increased cell number in the spinal fluid, fever and meningeal thickening immediately gives rise to associations with bacterial meningitis. When there is sub-acute onset of symptoms and an atypical course of disease with poor response to antibiotics, however, differential diagnostic possibili...

Hemangioblastomas are sporadic tumors found in the cerebellum or spinal cord. Supratentorial hemangioblastomas are rare, and those with meningeal involvement are extremely rare and have been reported in only approximately 130 patients. Here, we report the case of a 51-year-old female patient with supratentorial meningeal hemangioblastoma detected 5 years after surgical resection of an infratent...

Behçet disease is a systemic inflammatory perivasculitis characterized by recurrent episodes of oral and genital ulcers associated with skin and ocular lesions. Neurological involvement occurs in 5 to 10% of the cases, and isolated meningeal involvement is very uncommon. We report a 21 years old man with a Behçet disease and a history of acute meningeal syndrome in two previous crises and menin...

Polymeric micelle of the A₃B-type lactosome comprising (poly(sarcosine))₃-b-poly(l-lactic acid) was labeled with 111In. The 111In-labeled A₃B-type lactosome was administered to the model mice bearing meningeal dissemination and bone metastasis at mandible. With single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) imaging, the meningeal dissemination was identified successfully by 111In-labeled A₃...

Mesenchymal tumors in the liver, whether primary or metastatic, are rare. Meningeal hemangiopericytoma (HPC) is characteristically associated with delayed metastasis and the liver is one of the most common sites. Despite its consistent histological features, a pathological diagnosis of HPC in the liver is sometimes not straightforward due to its rarity and usually remote medical history of the ...

1. an instance of an abnormal artery arising from the middle meningeal is described. 2. the embryologic and possible clinical significances of this anomaly are discussed.

The antigenic character of a filterable agent which induces leukemia in adult mice has been investigated. Mice and rabbits injected with filtrate yielded sera which specifically neutralized infectivity of the agent. Normal sera, sera from mice with other neoplasms-including leukemias from which no causative agent has as yet been obtained,-and sera from leukemic human beings contained no such ne...
