Background: Area postrema syndrome is considered as one of the most typical presentations of neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSDs) (Wingerchuk et al., 2015). The involvement of area postrema is rarely seen in multiple sclerosis
The case of a young woman who presented with nausea, vomiting and diarrhea is outlined; the etiology turned out to be a first attack of multiple sclerosis. Plausible mechanisms are discussed.
The present paper describes the historical use of cannabis, starting with its use in Assyria and China. Recent advances in the understanding of the molecular basis of cannabis action are explained, including the identification of the cannabinoid receptors CB(1) and CB(2), as well as the isolation of
A 49-year-old woman, with a two-year-history of multiple screlosis (MS), noticed postural dizziness, intractable hiccups and vomiting. On admission, she had mild quadriparesis, hypesthesia below the C5 level, and a girdle sensation at the T5 and L1 levels. A CSF examination showed slight increases
Cyclophosphamide (Cyc) is an alkylating agent used to treat malignancies and autoimmune diseases, such as lupus nephritis, rheumatoid arthritis and immune-mediated neuropathies. Over the past 40 years, Cyc has also been applied to treat multiple sclerosis (MS) and the effective stabilisation of
Background: Mitoxantrone (MTX) has been used as an effective disease modifying treatment (DMT) in multiple sclerosis (MS). Evidence from studies demonstrates benefits of reduced relapse rates, MRI disease activity and disability
Scleroderma is a disease characterized by excessive deposition of collagen and extracellular matrix proteins in affected organ systems, which results in tissue fibrosis and organ dysfunction. It is estimated that 90% of patients with systemic sclerosis have gastrointestinal
One hundred sixty-four patients with chronic progressive multiple sclerosis (MS) have been treated with a regimen of high-dose IV cyclophosphamide and ACTH over the past 6 years. Their status was reviewed to determine complications associated with treatment, dosage of medication used to induce a
We present a case of meningitis caused by Cryptococcus neoformans var. grubii in a 46-year old non-HIV-infected patient with multiple sclerosis, treated with dimethyl fumarate monotherapy. We identified no other risk factors for developing cryptococcal meningitis.
Multiple sclerosis (MS) causes dizziness and vertigo. Reports suggest responsible lesions are often in the intra-pontine 8th nerve fascicle. We sought to determine frequency and clinical features of demyelinating acute vestibular syndrome (AVS). This is a prospective observational study (1999-2011).
Few studies have indicated the efficacy of plasmapheresis in children with multiple sclerosis (MS). We report a 10-year-old girl with MS who was successfully treated with plasmapheresis. She experienced the first episode (vomiting and unconsciousness) at the age of eight years. After two years and
