In this presentation we report a case of seizures following the administration of pethidine

Diffusion-Weighted MRI Predicts Prognosis in Hypoglycemic Encephalopathy: Case Report

Hypoglycemia may present with neurological symptoms. Diffusion weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) may be useful for prediction of prognosis. We report a comatose patient who had severe hypoglycemia due to sepsis with lesions on MRI. The localization of lesions on MRI and prognosis of hypoglycemia were discussed. The hypoglycemia associated MRI lesions located in diffuse cerebral cortex is associated with worse prognosis. [Dis Mol Med 2015; 3(1.000): 8-10

A Rare Entity in Multiple Myeloma: Six Nerve Paralysis

Ophthalmic involvement appears rarely in multiple myeloma (MM). Ophthalmic findings are mostly noted as complications caused by disease or treatment. MM-associated with 6th nerve paralysis is a rare entity. Bortezomib, one of the novel agents used to treat MM, has neurotoxic effect and may cause permanent nerve damage. Herein, we report a 50-year-old male patient with MM who developed the 6th nerve paralysis while receiving bortezomib and discuss its relevant causes

Bilateral Thalamic Infarction

Bilateral thalamic infarction is a rare cerebral vascular disease. The most common findings are acute impairment of consciousness, vertical gaze paresis, cognitive disturbances, and abnormal behavioral symptoms. In this paper, we report a case of bilateral thalamic infarction that resulted in abnormal behavior

BURNING MOUTH SYNDROME: EVALUATION OF CLINICAL AND LABORATORY FINDINGS

Background and purpose Burning mouth syndrome is a chronic and persistent painful condition characterized by burning sensation in the oral mucosa. We investigated the etiological factors of patients presented with the history of burning in the mouth who admitted our outpatient clinics over the 8-years period and who had no underlying identifiable local factors. We also tried to determine their demographic and clinical characteristics. Our aim was to investigate the association between burning mouth and psychiatric disorders such as depression and anxiety, chronic diseases like diabetes mellitus (DM) and other laboratory studies in patients complaining of solely burning in the mouth
