Hyper-immunoglobulin E (IgE) is a disorder of immune system characterized by assemblage symptoms including recurrent skin and pulmonary infections, skeletal anomalies elevated serum IgE (>2000 IU/ml). More recently, apart from the typical features, neurological manifestations have also been described central nervous facial nerve palsy demyelinating disorders. Here we describe three patients ...

Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) is an autoimmune demyelinating disorder of the central nervous system and can present following influenza A infections as multifocal neurological deficits. ADEM remains a challenging diagnosis, and high clinical suspicious coupled with laboratory investigations and neuroimaging is required to exclude other primary and secondary demyelinating disorders.

Multiple sclerosis is a chronic autoimmune demyelinating disease, one of the most common symptoms which are urinary disorders. The review article provides information on epidemiology, pathogenesis, symptoms, clinical course and diagnostic features neurogenic dysfunctions lower tract in patients with multiple sclerosis. Attention drawn to need for early diagnosis dysfunctions, predetermines time...

Abstract Monocyte recruitment into the central nervous system (CNS) is critical for driving pathology in neuroinflammatory diseases such as MS. The monocytic influx well activation of resident myeloid cells contribute to and subsequent re-activation autoreactive T cells, ultimately leading demyelinating lesions, axonal damage, progressive paralysis. Using murine model MS, experimental autoimmun...

myelodysplastic syndromes (mds) are a group of hematological disorders ranging from chronic refractory anemia to leukemia. there are some reports about association of mds with autoimmune disorders and vasculitis. in this study we describe a patient with mds and vasculitis presenting with central nervous system (cns) involvement. a clinical response to immunosuppressive therapy was also observed...

Deregulated lipid metabolism may be of particular importance for CNS injuries and disorders, as this organ has the highest lipid concentration next to adipose tissue. Atherosclerosis (a risk factor for ischemic stroke) results from accumulation of LDL-derived lipids in the arterial wall. Pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-alpha and IL-1), secretory phospholipase A2 IIA and lipoprotein-PLA2 are imp...

T cell infiltration into the CNS is a significant underlying pathogenesis in autoimmune inflammatory demyelinating diseases. Several lines of evidence suggest that glutamate dysregulation in the CNS is an important consequence of immune cell infiltration in neuroinflammatory demyelinating diseases; yet, the causal link between inflammation and glutamate dysregulation is not well understood. A m...

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system (CNS) with varied clinical presentations and heterogeneous histopathological features. The underlying immunological abnormalities in MS lead to various neurological and autoimmune manifestations. There is strong evidence that MS is, at least in part, an immune-mediated disease. There is less evidence ...

Neuromyelitis optica (NMO) is a rare and severe inflammatory disease of the central nervous system (CNS), which constitutes up to 5% of pediatric aquired demyelinating diseases. The optic nerves and the spinal cord are the most affected sites. The discovery of an autoantibody called NMO-IgG, which targets aquaporin-4, the main water channel in the CNS, gave a new direction to understanding the ...

CLINICAL PROCEDURE MRI. SPECIALTY Neurology. OBJECTIVE Rare disease. BACKGROUND There are several categories of primary inflammatory demyelinating disorders, which comprise clinically similar neu...
