Cervical vestibular evoked myogenic potentials in patients with the first episode of posterior canal benign paroxysmal positional vertigo before and after repositioning

WOS: 000586080000001PubMed: 33151115Background Cervical vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (cVEMPs) are used to assess the sacculo-collic pathways. Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is mainly a utricular disorder. Objectives To investigate cVEMPs in BPPV patients before and after repositioning maneuvers. Methods Forty patients with posterior canal BPPV with new onset symptoms underwent cVEMP testing at the time of diagnosis and a month after successful repositioning maneuver. p13, n23 latency and amplitude ratio values were compared with the results of 40 healthy controls. Results p13 and n23 latencies of the affected side were significantly longer than the healthy controls more prominent for the p13 latency. Comparison of the affected side with the non-affected side revealed delayed p13 latency on the affected side. Though a significant improvement in p13 latency was observed after repositioning, it was still prolonged when compared with the healthy controls. An abnormality regarding amplitudes was not present. Conclusions and significance cVEMP abnormalities in patients with BPPV indicate saccular dysfunction accompanying utricular dysfunction which seems to be confined to the symptomatic side at least in the early phase of the disease. Partial recovery can be seen after treatment with residual findings following even the first attack

Childhood-onset optic neuritis as the first manifestation of Behcet's disease

WOS: 000237847900007A 15-year-old girl presented with sudden blurring of vision in both eyes, which was recurring for the third time. The fundoscopy demonstrated bilateral optic disc edema with macular star exudates. The diagnosis of Behcet's disease (BD) could be made 5 months after the first visual disturbance, when the other manifestations of the disease occurred. Although ocular involvement is frequent, primer optic neuritis has rarely been reported in BD. Childhood onset of the disorder is very uncommon as well. To our knowledge, this is the first report of optic neuritis as the first manifestation of BD in the pediatric age group

Orgazm ile uyarılan nöbetler: Bir olgu sunumu ve literatürün gözden geçirilmesi

Certain types of stimuli can trigger epileptic seizures in patients with epilepsy. This phenomenon is defined as reflex seizure. Stimuli may be in visual, auditory, tactile, or cognitive forms, and orgasm may trigger epileptic seizures. A 42-year-old man was admitted to our department with orgasm-induced generalized seizures that had started 6 months ago. He was examined using electroencephalography and cranial magnetic resonance imaging, and was treated with levetiracetam and clobazam. His seizures were controlled well. In this article, we aim to present our case and review the literature on the subject

Primary Sjogren's syndrome presenting as neuromyelitis optica

WOS: 000243052700012PubMed ID: 17162200This report presents a patient with Devic's neuromyelitis optica associated with primary Sjogren's syndrome. Her first attack was right-sided optic neuritis at age 10 years. Attacks involving both optic nerves and medulla spinalis were recorded during the ensuing years. The diagnosis of Sjogren's syndrome could not be made until the second decade because it was not suspected. (c) 2007 by Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved

Steroid Responsive Inflammatory Myofibroblastic Tumor With Central Nervous System Involvement: The Case Report

WOS: 000318549800024Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is a rare benign neoplasm that consists of myofibroblastic spindle cells and inflammatory cells. It rarely emerges and affects central nervous system (CNS). CNS IMT has a high frequency of recurrence and malign transformation. There is no standard treatment protocol and response to steroid is often uncertain. In the article, a CNS IMT case where relapse is observed after resection with a response to steroids is represented
