thalamic pain syndrome, a type of central post-stroke pain (cpsp), may develops after a hemorrhagic or ischemic stroke and results in impairment of the thalamus. there is limited experience about gabapentin in treatment of central pains like cpsp.in a prospective observational study, the intensity of pain was recorded using the numeric rating scale (nrs) at the entrance to the study. patients e...

A varix occurring with a cerebral venous angioma is a rare combination of cerebral vascular malformations. The most common vascular anomaly associated with a venous angioma is a cavernous angioma. We report a case of bilateral supratentorial venous angioma with 2 varices involving the angioma situated on the right frontotemporal region. Multiple subependymal veins were seen in the right suprate...

microglia is a type of glial cell located throughout the central nervous system (cns), which is sensitive to cns injury and disease. responsibility of microglia as the resident macrophage cells for injuries suggests that these cells have the potential to act as diagnostic markers of disease beginning or progression. function of microglia is strongly synchronized by the microenvironment of brain...

we present 16 years old girl with primary breast lymphoma involving the both breasts simultaneously and co-incidence of central nervous system (cns) involvement which originated from the breast, in addition to evidence of lymphoma in multi-organ such as skin, mediastinum and some abdominal viscera. bilaterality has been observed in some series, but reports are few and series are often very smal...

intracranial aspergilloma is extremely rare. the diagnosis and treatment of invasive cns aspergillosis is very difficult. early diagnosis is important for a successful treatment. here, we report a case of intracranial aspergilloma in an 11-year-old boy in 2013. good outcome was achieved by treatment with a combination of neurosurgical resection and antifungal administration, which we suggest is...

noncoding ribonucleic acids micro-rna is involved in the regulation of gene expression have major roles in the post-transcriptional level. a micro-rna alone several causes down regulation of mrna transcript of the target. thus, small changes in the expression of a micro rna may lead to significant changes in gene expression are different. micro- rna as key regulators of immune cell lineage diff...

Cutaneous angiomata of the "port wine" variety are frequently associated with angiomata elsewhere in the body and particularly in the central nervous system. Retinal and nervous system involvement by angioma serpiginosum has, however, not previously been recorded. For this reason and also because of the unusual retinal abnormality in this patient, it is felt justifiable to report this single ca...

primary angiitis of the central nervous system (pacns) is an idiopathic disorder (vasculitis) restricted to the central nervous system (cns). it often presents with focal neurological deficits suggesting stroke or a combination of confusion and headache. we herein report three cases with various combinations of fever, partial seizure, encephalopathy, paresis, headache and ataxia. one of them wa...

We present the case of a 58-year-old man who suffered a left thalamic intracerebral hemorrhage. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed an incidental venous angioma in the left frontal lobe. Further elucidated by cerebral angiography and functional MRI, this venous angioma exhibited arteriovenous shunting. The arterialized venous angioma represents an uncommon, "mixed" intracranial vasc...
