Neuromyelitis optica in a patient with pemphigus foliaceus. Salazar R, Cerghet M, Farhat E, Lim HW
OBJECTIVES: Spinal cord compression may be associated with a fusiform cord lesion on T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images, leading to confusion with transverse myelitis and delaying effective surgical treatment. RESULTS: We describe 5 patients referred for evaluation of suspected neuromyelitis optica in whom the final diagnosis was symptomatic cervical spinal stenosis.
OBJECTIVE: To analyze the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) characteristics of neuromyelitis optica (NMO) in Chinese patients. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed the MRI films of 61 patients with NMO (including 57 female and 4 male patients) admitted in our department
Objetive: To demonstrate the occurrence of intractable hiccup and nausea (IHN) as first symptoms in Neuromyelitis optica (NMO) patients who developed cervical myelitis. Background: IHN are unique symptoms of NMO, which is a neurological disorder mainly characterized by optic neuritis and myelitis. Methods: We reviewed the medical records of 25 cases of relapsing NMO seen at the Ramos Mejia Hospital in Argentina during the period from 2006 to 2010.
Introduction: Vaccination in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) is generally considered to be safe. Riskbenefit analysis favors vaccination in MS patients, even though several reports of acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM), post-vaccination encephalitis, Guillain- Barr? syndrome or MS exacerbations following vaccination appear in literature. Quadrivalent HPV vaccination (Gardasil) is a relatively new vaccine, designed to prevent infection with HPV types 6, 11, 16 and 18 that has proven efficacy in the prevention of cervical, vulval and vaginal dysplasia, genital warts and cervical cancer
