Neurological manifestations associated with COVID-19 remain partially described, mainly in low- and middle-income countries where diagnostic tools are limited. To address this, we assembled medical centers Brazil the goal of describing neurological syndromes during first wave pandemic. From June 1st, 2020 to 2021, non-consecutive adult patients new onset six up 60 days after confirmed were included. Data compiled from four tertiary compared general local data, as well a previous cohort...
A novel leukoencephalopathy was recently identified based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and proton spectroscopy (¹H-MRS) findings. Leukoencephalopathy with brainstem spinal cord involvement high lactate (LBSL) is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by early onset of symptoms slowly progressive cerebellar, pyramidal dorsal column dysfunction. MRI ¹H-MRS typically show abnormalities within cerebral cerebellar white matter, a characteristic tracts elevated in the abnormal...
Excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) and sudden sleep onset (SOS) episodes are frequent in Parkinson׳s disease (PD). The objectives to identify clinical characteristics factors associated with EDS SOS episodes. Clinical demographic data were recorded (N=100, mean age=65.0±10.4). was identified by the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS>10) registered. Disease severity evaluated Unified Rating (UPDRS, I, II, III), disturbances Sleep (PDSS<100), depressive symptoms Beck Depression Inventory (BDI>10)...
Parkinson's disease (PD) patients frequently present visual hallucinations (VHs) that have been associated with depression, old age, and cognitive impairment. Sleep abnormalities are also related to these factors. The aim of this study is evaluate risk factors, particularly sleep alterations, VHs in PD.
Sjögren-Larsson syndrome (SLS) is a rare autosomal recessive neurocutaneous disorder caused by deficiency of the microsomal enzyme fatty aldehyde dehydrogenase. Patients present classical triad congenital ichthyosis, mental retardation and spastic di- or tetraplegia. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) brain usually shows hypomyelination involving periventricular white matter. Cerebral proton MR spectroscopy ((1)H-MRS) reveals characteristic abnormal lipid peak. We report three cases SLS from...
OBJETIVOS: Determinar se há evidências de uma relação causal entre forame oval patente (FOP) e acidente vascular cerebral isquêmico (AVCI) criptogênico em jovens. Analisar essa à luz dos critérios causalidade. MÉTODOS: Avaliaram-se, retrospectivamente, 168 pacientes jovens com AVCI, divididos dois grupos: causa definida. Como parte da rotina, os foram submetidos a pesquisa FOP por ecocardiograma transesofágico e/ou Doppler transcraniano, ambos associados ao teste bolhas. Demonstrada...
Developmental venous anomaly (DVA), also known as angioma, is becoming the most commonly encountered intracranial vascular malformation in central nervous system (CNS) imaging1,2. It thought that DVA develops during development of which results preservation primitive embryological medullary veins, draining into a single longer vein3. Thrombosis collector vein rare complication leading to cerebral infarction (CVI)4 […] Thrombosed developmental Associated with infarct
Lipofuscinose ceróide neuronal (LCN) constitui um grupo de doenças neurodegenerativas caracterizadas pelo depósito anormal uma substância autofluorescente lipopigmentos, que lembra e lipofuscina, dentro dos lisossomos neurônios outros tipos células. Os principais subtipos fenotípicos, baseando-se na idade início, curso clínico morfologia ultraestrutural, são classificados em formas infantil, infantil tardia, juvenil adulta. Seis genes associados a lipofuscinose foram identificados...
A dorsal thoracic arachnoid web represents an intradural extramedullary transverse band of tissue that causes mass effect and cord indentation, can or cannot be associated with spinal altered signal. On sagittal MR imaging, this focal indentation the resembles a scalpel its blade pointing posteriorly (called “scalpel sign”). Although very suggestive web, sign is not specific should differentiated from other ventral displacement (eg, idiopathic herniation cyst). In herniation, protrudes...
Magnetic resonance neurography is a technique for identifying anatomy and pathologic lesions of nerves, has emerged as helpful localizing elucidating the underlying etiology. Ganglioneuromas are highly differentiated benign tumors. This lesion rare exhibits undetermined symptoms, features using magnetic great ally to determine its diagnosis. The authors illustrate case retroperitoneal ganglioneuroma emphasizing image characteristics with diagnosis confirmed by histopathological examination.
To determine gallbladder volume with sonography during fasting and in response to a fatty meal patients spinal cord injuries (SCIs) compare the results those obtained healthy controls.Forty-three SCI 40 volunteers without clinical evidence of disease underwent before 30 60 minutes after ingestion standard meal. The volume, resting contractility were calculated, compared. Correlation between level lesion, time since injury, use oxybutynin, body mass index (BMI) was also assessed.The mean...
Background: Primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) is an uncommon lesion and represent 4% of all (CNS) cancers. There have been few reports localized isolated developing in the fourth ventricle, with only 8 previous cases described. We present a case immunocompetent patient ventricle who did not diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) restriction. Case Description: A 45-year-old man presented history headache, vomiting weigh loss. Upon clinical examination, he bilateral papilledema,...
Abstract Introduction Cerebral metastases are the most common cancer of central nervous system (CNS). Meningeal infiltration by neoplasms that did not originate in CNS is a rare fact present 0.02% autopsies. Epidemiologically, radiological presentation mimicking subdural hematoma even more uncommon. We report case meningeal carcinomatosis an adenocarcinoma prostate chronic hematoma. Case Report A 60-year-old male patient was diagnosed with 2011. He underwent radical resection prostate, as...
