A 57-year-old woman experienced bilateral acute ischemic optic neuropathy after spine surgery. Routine MR imaging sequence, T2-weighted image, showed subtle high signal intensity on bilateral optic nerves. A contrast-enhanced T1 weighted image showed enhancement along the bilateral optic nerve sheath. Moreover, diffusion-weighted image (DWI) and an apparent diffusion coefficient map showed mark...

Optic disc drusen (ODD) are calcific deposits that form in the optic nerve head secondary to abnormalities in axonal metabolism and degeneration. Anterior ischemic optic neuropathy, central retinal artery, and vein occlusion are among the rare vascular complications of disc drusen. We reported the clinical course of a 51-year-old patient with a unilateral acute nonarteritic anterior ischemic op...

INTRODUCTION Dengue haemorrhagic fever is known for its haemorrhagic and neurologic complications. Neurologic complications are caused by three mechanism namely neurotropism, systemic complications causing encephalopathy and postinfectious immune-mediated mechanisms. However acute compressive neuropathy due to haemorrhage is not frequent and we could find no literature describing this. CASE R...

BACKGROUND In October 2004, Manam Island volcano in Papua New Guinea erupted, causing over 10 000 villagers to flee to internally displaced person (IDP) camps, including 550 from Dugulaba village. Following violence over land access in March 2010, the IDPs fled the camps, and four months later concurrent outbreaks of acute watery diarrhea and unusual neurological complaints were reported in thi...

Diabetes is now one of the most common chronic diseases. Its incidence increasing, and thus number people suffering from its health complications increasing. In 2015, 3 million in Poland suffered diabetes, it estimated that this will increase to 4 by 2040. Acute diabetes include i.a. hypoglycemic or lactate hypermolar comas. Chronic include, for example, microangiopathies (retinopathies, nephro...

Compressive optic neuropathy with acute or chronic vision loss has been associated with various skull base tumors, aneurysms, Graves disease, trauma, and, less commonly, fibrous dysplasia and osteopetrosis. The authors present a case of acute visual deterioration in a 25-year-old woman who had massive calvarial hypertrophy with optic canal stenosis secondary to renal osteodystrophy (uremic leon...

Optic neuropathy is a group of diseases the optic nerve. Using diagnostic techniques such as ophthalmoscopy and perimetry diagnosis are insufficient, found abnormalities not specific for either inflammation or ischemia. Establishing predominant factor in pathogenesis crucial determining method treatment.
 The aim study: to investigate features nerve damage using optical coherent tomography...

Uremic neuropathy is the most common neurologic complication of uremia, and it affects more than 60% of patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) who undergo dialysis.(1) This type of neuropathy symmetrically involves the distal extremities, especially the lower limbs. On electrophysiological assessment, an axonal pattern is dominant. The clinical course and the intensity of uremic neuropath...
