Examined are changes in the acid mucopolysacharides contents (AMPS) in the brain of rat after I. P. application of 2 X 10(6) iu/kg of Na benzyl penicillin inducing epileptic-convulsive phenomenon with grand mal. Decreased AMPS were found in all examined cerebral regions except in cerebellum.

A 14-month-old male castrated domestic shorthair cat, which 2 months prior to presentation underwent hindlimb amputation following a road traffic accident, presented for investigation of four suspected generalised tonic-clonic seizures. Neurological examination was unremarkable.

Genistein reduces lysosomal storage in peripheral tissues of mucopolysaccharide IIIB mice.

Only registered users can translate articles

Mucopolysaccharidosis type IIIB (Sanfilippo syndrome) is a lysosomal storage disease caused by a genetic defect in the production of alpha-N-acetylglucosaminidase. This results in lysosomal and extracellular accumulation of the undegraded glycosaminoglycan (GAG) substrate, heparan sulphate. Affected

Macular cherry-red spots and beta-galactosidase deficiency in an adult. An autopsy case with progressive cerebellar ataxia, myoclonus, thrombocytopathy, and accumulation of polysaccharide in liver.

Only registered users can translate articles

An adult patient with macular cherry-red spots, a gargoyle-like physical appearance, cerebellar ataxia, myoclonus, convulsive seizures, and pyramidal tract signs showed a profound deficiency of beta-galactosidase in liver and brain. Thrombocytopathy of undetermined etiology was evident since

Striopallidodentate calcifications: nosographic, neuropathological and clinical proposal. Case report.

Only registered users can translate articles

The case of a 52-year-old man with an ataxicspastic syndrome associated with dystonia, faciobuccolingual dyskinesias and partial epileptic seizures is reported. Neurological imaging showed aspecific brain stem parenchymal alterations. Cerebellar biopsy revealed calcifications and the accumulation of

In 1971 and again in 1977, Costello reported on two unrelated children with multiple congenital malformations associated with growth and developmental retardation and nasal papillomata (Costello, NZ Med J 74:397, 1971; Costello, Aust Paediatr J 13:114-118, 1977). Subsequently, two similar cases were

In-flight incapacitation and cystic medial necrosis.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND The major causes of in-flight fatal incapacitation in civil pilots are acute coronary events, new onset idiopathic epilepsy, and physiological problems. Less than 1% of all air accidents are due to sudden incapacitaion. The problem with acute coronary disease is very serious when

[Calcification of the basal nuclei in hypoparathyroidism. The computed and magnetic resonance tomographic aspects].

Only registered users can translate articles

Six female patients with hypoparathyroidism (2 idiopathic and 4 postoperative cases following total thyroidectomy) were examined with brain CT scans; 4 of them underwent MR exams too. Two patients presented with no symptoms, 4 exhibited extrapyramidal syndrome, tetany, fainting seizures or ischemic

Familial juvenile neuronal storage disease. New disease or variant of juvenile lipidosis?

Only registered users can translate articles

Two patients had an illness characterized by a positive family history, juvenile onset, macular cherry-red spots, myoclonus, generalized convulsions, and cerebellar ataxia. Neither had dementia, gargoyle facies, bone or joint deformities, or visceromegaly. Vacuolated lymphocytes were not seen in the

Rathke's Cleft Cyst Apoplexy in Two Teenage Sisters.

Only registered users can translate articles

Rathke's cleft cysts (RCC) are sellar-suprasellar cysts that are usually discovered incidentally given their indolent clinical course. When symptoms do arise, the most common clinical presentation is headache, visual field deficits due to visual pathway compression, diplopia due to cavernous sinus

Dementia associated with scleromyxoedema reversed by high-dose intravenous immunoglobulin.

Only registered users can translate articles

Scleromyxoedema is a rare skin disease, characterized by deposition of acid mucopolysaccharides in the dermis. Although the disease primarily affects the skin, cardiovascular, renal and rheumatological manifestations have been described. In addition to these noncutaneous manifestations, about 15% of

beta-mannosidase deficiency in a female infant with epileptic encephalopathy.

Only registered users can translate articles

We report a female infant with an isolated deficiency of beta-mannosidase activity. At nine months of age dysmorphism was absent except for brachecephaly. There was moderate developmental delay and a startle response to sound. At 12 months there was a sudden onset of tonic-clonic seizures which were
