adenocarcinoma/seizures

A right-handed man had recurrent episodes of speech arrest that were focal epileptic seizures. A metastatic adenocarcinoma was identified and removed from the left supplementary motor area. The similarity of these rare seizures to transient ischemic attacks may lead to an erroneous and hazardous

A 38-year-old woman with adenocarcinoma of unknown origin was treated with cisplatin and etoposide. After the 4th course of chemotherapy she complained of blindness and had a seizure with spontaneous recovery in 4 days. The relationship between these events and the known neurotoxicity of other heavy

Introduction Calcification in brain metastasis occurs rarely so it is reported in approximately 1% of surgical and 6.6% of autopsy specimens. Here we report a new case of brain metastasis with calcification. Case presentation A 44-year-old woman presented with a generalized tonic-clonic seizure with

BACKGROUND Brain metastasis from pancreatic cancer is extremely rare. Because pancreatic cancer usually has a rapidly progressive nature, the majority of affected patients die from primary lesions before exhibiting clinical signs suggestive of brain metastases. METHODS The patient was a 62-year-old

A patient with metastatic gastric adenocarcinoma had progressive microangiopathic red blood cell changes, thrombocytopenia with increased marrow megakaryocytes, bleeding, altered mentation, and seizure. Coagulation parameters were inconsistent with disseminated intravascular coagulation; a clinical

BACKGROUND Signet ring cell (SRC) gastric adenocarcinoma is an aggressive histotype associated with poor prognosis, especially in advanced gastric cancer. Dural metastasis is rarely described in the literature, and clinical manifestations are generally related to subdural hematoma. Here we present a

We describe a case of neurologic manifestations including coma, convulsion and eye movement disorders, associated with hypomagnesemia and hypocalcemia in a patient treated with cisplatin for an ovarian adenocarcinoma. Pathophysiological mechanisms involve renal tubular damage leading to renal

Two patients with parenchymal brain metastases from adenocarcinoma of the prostate (CaP) are presented. Both patients had the diagnosis made antemortem by biopsy, and tumor immunoreactivity for prostatic phosphatase and prostate specific antigen confirmed prostatic origin. Brain metastases from

While reportedly a relatively common finding at the autopsy of decedents with metastatic neoplasms, dural metastases are infrequently described in the medical literature and only 55 cases of subdural hemorrhage associated with dural metastases have been described, with only one of these cases

Olfactory neuroblastoma (ONB) is a rare malignant neoplasm arising from the superior aspect of the nasal vault. Cases are characterised by insidious clinical presentation and high rates of recurrence despite surgical resection and adjuvant radiotherapy. There are a small number of reports showing

BACKGROUND Vitamin B12 deficiency leads to abnormal myelination or demyelination, resulting in sub-acute combined degeneration, peripheral neuropathy, and psychiatric problems, including delusions, hallucinations, cognitive changes, depression, and dementia. Vitamin B12 deficiency also leads to

A dog with tonoclonic seizures, disorientation, and tetraparesis was evaluated by use of skull radiography. An advanced, highly aggressive process was centered within the caudal portion of the right nasal cavity. X-ray computed tomography further defined the mass to be occupying the caudal portion

A 55-year-old female presented to the emergency department with seizures, left hemiparesis, and memory loss. Her past medical history was notable for a right triple-negative breast adenocarcinoma that was diagnosed approximately two years prior. She underwent treatment with chemotherapy, right

Tumor-to-tumor metastasis (T2Tmets) is an established entity but often overlooked and underdiagnosed. Merely 84 such cases are reported in literature till date. The authors here describe a 65-year-old man presenting with first episode of focal seizure and incidentally turned out to be a case of
