| 5 | Variant of multiple sclerosis with dementia and tumefactive demyelinating brain lesions显示文摘We describe an unusual clinical and diagnostic featureof a patient with multiple sclerosis(MS). A 25-yearold woman was admitted to the Neurology department(December 2009) with one month history of rapid cognitive deterioration. She had poor cognition, dysphasia, reduction in visual acuity and temporal pallor of the optic discs. She had prolonged latencies of P100 component of visual evoked potentials(VEPs). Magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)-brain showed multifocal large(≥ 3 cm) white-matter hypointense lesions in T1 W and hyperintense in T2 W and fluid-attenuated inversion recovery images and patchy enhancement. A diagnosis of tumefactive MS was given. She received two consecutive 5-d courses of 1 g daily intravenous methylprednisolone for 2 mo and oral prednisolone in dose of 80 mg twice/daily in between. At the 3rd month, Mini Mental State Examination and VEPs returned to normal but not the MRI. Patient continued oral steroids after hospital discharge(March 2010) for 9 mo with significant MRI improvement after which tapering of steroids started for a year. The patient refused immunomodulation therapy due to her low socioeconomic status. Neither clinical relapse nor new MRI lesions were observed throughout the next 4 years. In spite of the aggressive course of tumefactive MS variant, good prognosis may be seen in some patients. | Sherifa A Hamed | 2015 | World Journal of Clinical Cases2015,3,6: | 1 |
| 6 | Differential diagnosis of a vanishing brain space occupying lesion in a child显示文摘We describe clinical, diagnostic features and follow up of a patient with a vanishing brain lesion. A 14-yearold child admitted to the department of Neurology at September 2009 with a history of subacute onset of fever, anorexia, vomiting, blurring of vision and right hemiparesis since one month. Magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) of the brain revealed presence of intraaxial large mass(25 mm × 19 mm) in the left temporal lobe and the brainstem which showed hypointense signal in T1 W and hyperintense signals in T2 W and fluid attenuated inversion recovery(FLAIR) images and homogenously enhanced with gadolinium(Gd). It was surrounded by vasogenic edema with mass effect. Intravenous antibiotics, mannitol(2 g/12 h per 2 d) and dexamethasone(8 mg/12 h) were given to relief manifestations of increased intracranial pressure. Whole craniospinal radiotherapy(brain = 4000 CGy/20 settings per 4 wk; Spinal = 2600/13 settings per 3 wk) was given based on the high suspicion of neoplastic lesion(lymphoma or glioma). Marked clinical improvement(up to complete recovery) occurred within 15 d. Tapering of the steroid dose was done over the next 4 mo. Follow up with MRI after 3 mo showed small lesion in the left antero-medial temporal region with hypointense signal in T1 W and hyperintense signals in T2 W and FLAIR images but did not enhance with Gd. At August 2012, the patient developed recurrent generalized epilepsy. His electroencephalography showed the presence of left temporal focus of epileptic activity. MRI showed the same lesion as described in the follow up. The diffusion weighted images were normal. The seizures frequency was decreased with carbamazepine therapy(300 mg/12 h). At October 2014, single voxel proton(1H) MR spectroscopy(MRS) showedreduced N-acetyl-aspartate(NAA)/creatine(Cr), choline(Cho)/Cr, NAA/Cho ratios consistent with absence of a neoplasm and highly suggested presence of gliosis. A solitary brain mass in a child poses a considerable diagnostic difficulty. MRS provided valuable diagnostic differentiation between tumor and pseudotumor lesions. | Sherifa A Hamed Mohamad A Mekkawy Hosam Abozaid | 2015 | World Journal of Clinical Cases2015,3,11: | 0 |
| 7 | Risks of suicidality in adult patients with epilepsy显示文摘AIM: To determine the prevalence and risks of suicidality in a group of patients with epilepsy. METHODS: Included were 200 adult patients and 100 matched healthy subjects. The clinical interview using The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders(4th edition), Beck Depression Inventory(2nd edition)(BDI-Ⅱ), Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale(HAM-A), Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale(Y-BOCS) and Eysenck Personality Questionnaire-Revised Rating Scale testings were used for diagnosis and assessment of severity of psychiatric symptoms. Blood concentrations of serotonin, catecholamines and dopamine were also measured.RESULTS: Suicidality was reported in 35%(compared to 9% for controls), of them 80%, 72.86%, 55.71% and 52.9% had depression, anxiety, obsession and aggression respectively. Patients with suicidality had higher scores of BDI-Ⅱ(P = 0.0001), HAM-A(P = 0.0001), and Y-BOCS(P = 0.037) and lower scores of psychotic(P = 0.0001) and extroversion(P = 0.025) personality traits. Regardless the presence or absence of suicidality, patients with epilepsy had low serotonin(P = 0.006), noradrenaline(P = 0.019) and adrenaline(P = 0.0001) levels. With suicidality, significant correlations were identified between:(1) age and scores of BDI-Ⅱ(r = 0.235, P = 0.0001) and HAM-A(r = 0.241, P = 0.046);(2) age at onset and concentrations of noradrenaline(r =-0.502, P = 0.024);(3) duration of illness and scores of BDI-Ⅱ(r = 0.247, P = 0.041), Y-BOCS(r = 0.270, P = 0.025) and neurotic personality trait(r =-0.284, P = 0.018); and(4) doses of antiepileptic drugs and scores of psychotic personality traits(r =-0.495, P = 0.006 for carbamazepine; r =-0.508, P = 0.0001 for valproate).CONCLUSION: This is the first study which systematically estimated the prevalence and risks of suicidality in a homogenous group of patients with epilepsy. This study emphasizes the importance of epilepsy itself as a risk for suicidality and not its treatment. | Sherifa A Hamed Yaser BE Elserogy Madleen A Abdou Mostafa M Abdellah | 2012 | World Journal of Psychiatry2012,2,2: | 0 |
