BACKGROUND Chronic lymphocytic inflammation with pontine perivascular enhancement responsive to steroids (CLIPPERS) is a rare chronic inflammatory disorder in the central nervous system (CNS), which is characterized by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) appearance with punctate and curvilinear gadolinium enhancement "peppering" the pons. Lesions of CLIPPERS mainly involve the pons and the cerebel...

A 37-year-old mentally retarded male patient complained of voiding difficulties. Physical examination revealed a foreign body in the urethra. The foreign body was found to be nail clippers and was removed with open surgery. This case of self-inserted nail clippers in the urethra by the patient is the first published report to our knowledge.

Chronic lymphocytic inflammation with pontine perivascular enhancement responsive to steroids (CLIPPERS) syndrome is a clinically and radiologically distinct pontine-predominant perivascular neuroinflammation showing T lymphocyte infiltration. It is assumed to have an autoimmune or other inflammatory mediated pathogenesis. We report the first known case of CLIPPERS in East Asia, characterized b...

Introduction: Chronic lymphocytic inflammation with pontine perivascular enhancement responsive to steroids (CLIPPERS) is a inflammatory central nervous system (CNS) disorder, prominently involving the brainstem and in particular the pons, characterized by perivascular pathologic reaction lymphocyte infiltration, leading to dysarthria, ataxia, diplopia, altered sensation and paraesthesias of th...

Introduction Deminers must frequently remove low-lying vegetation in order to perform subsequent demining operations such as metal detection and excavation. Vegetation clearance is accomplished both with mechanical equipment and with manual hand tools. Several types of hand tools are commonly used, such as two-handed grass shears, one-handed clippers, or secateurs, and pruning saws. Of these, t...

Background: Chronic lymphocytic inflammation with perivascular contrast enhancement in the pons responsive to steroids (CLIPPERS) is a rare and relatively new pathology magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) highly important its diagnosis.
 Clinical case description: The analysis of MRI results revealed typical changes characteristic CLIPPERS, such as contrast-positive small-point curvilinear le...

Abstract Background Few cases of primary CNS lymphoma(PCNSL) following a diagnosis chronic lymphocytic inflammation with pontine perivascular enhancement responsive to steroids (CLIPPERS) are reported in the literature. Here we explore implications this sequel for CLIPPERS follow-up and PCNSL outcome. Material Methods A systematic review meta-analysis previously described MEDLINE database was p...
