SUMMARY We report two patients with suspected primary angiitis of the CNS who underwent serial contrast-enhanced MR imaging of the spinal cord. MR abnormalities were multiple and enhancing, and located within the cervical and thoracic cord. Brain MR findings and brain biopsy specimens were positive for primary angiitis of the CNS. On follow-up MR studies, obtained after steroid and immunosuppre...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE There is only limited information about late neurological complications after bone marrow transplantation (BMT). The purpose of this study is to describe a cerebral angiitis-like syndrome after allogeneic BMT. METHODS Clinical and diagnostic findings of 5 BMT patients with chronic graft versus host disease and neuropathological data of 1 patient were reported. RESULTS...

Frosted glass is a common, low cost material. Its roughness can be used to control how it wet by water. In this paper, the wetting properties of silicone oil and water are investigated. For oil, total since oleophilic character enhanced its roughness. Due remarkable optical frosted glass, spreading droplets on surface was recorded over three months. parahydrophilic because large contact angle h...

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...

The magnetic compass orientation of birds is light dependent. The respective directional information, originating in radical pair processes, is mediated by the right eye. These findings suggest possible interactions between magnetoreception and vision, in particular with the perception of contours, because the right eye has been found to be dominant in discrimination tasks requiring object visi...

Isolated angiitis of the CNS (IACNS) commonly presents with recurrent ischaemic or haemorrhagic infarcts, but subarachnoid haemorrhage is rare. Three patients with IACNS and subarachnoid haemorrhage are reported. Florid granulomatous angiitis with Langhans and foreign body type giant cells was found at necropsy in a child with sudden death. In two other patients the diagnosis was made angiograp...

A clinicopathologic case of Hughes-Stovin syndrome with pulmonary eosinophilic angiitis and focal proliferative extracapillary glomerulonephritis is reported.

A 70-year-old man, with regional herpes zoster (C2) of 10 weeks duration, died following subarachnoid hemorrhage caused by the rupture of an aneurysm in the basilar artery. Granulomatous angiitis, with multinucleated giant cells, was found at autopsy in the wall of the aneurysm. Electron microscopy of the basilar artery disclosed intracytoplasmic viral particles with an envelope which measured ...
