BACKGROUND
The prevalence, risk factors, and clinical implication of seizure development were investigated in patients with metastatic brain tumors.
METHODS
Medical records and radiological findings were analyzed retrospectively in 258 patients with brain metastasis from lung cancer who underwent
DNA pooling in combination with high-throughput sequencing was done as a part of the Sequenom-Genefinder project. In the pilot study, we tested 83,715 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP), located primarily in gene-based regions, to identify polymorphic susceptibility variants for lung cancer. For
We report an adult female with a small cell lung cancer (SCLC) pituitary metastasis who presented with seizures and headache. While headache is a common presentation of pituitary metastases, seizures have been very rarely reported. The patient was found on MRI to have a suprasellar tumor with
Paraneoplastic cerebellar degeneration may occur in association with Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome (LEMS), but to our knowledge, the co-occurrence of paraneoplastic opsoclonus-myoclonus syndrome and LEMS has not been previously reported. A 67-year-old woman presented with a complex partial
BACKGROUND
Paraneoplastic limbic encephalitis is a rare neurological syndrome and clinically characterized by cognitive dysfunction, memory impairment, seizures and psychiatric symptoms. Paraneoplastic limbic encephalitis is most frequently found in small-cell lung cancer, among various
A 75-year-old woman received a diagnosis of small-cell lung cancer (T1N2M0, stage IIIA, limited disease) in January 2009. She received 4 cycles of chemotherapy with etoposide and carboplatin and concurrent radiotherapy (50 Gy/25 Fr) which yielded a complete response. However, recurrence of her
The distribution of cis-diamminedichloroplatinum (CDDP) was studied in 23 patients undergoing surgical resection of brain tumors metastatic from lung cancer. CDDP (100 mg/m2) was administered intravenously (i.v.) or intra-arterially (IA) at the time of surgery, and various fluids and tissues were
Hyponatremia is a frequent electrolyte abnormality in patients with small cell lung cancer (SCLC). Being usually asymptomatic, hyponatremia may cause symptoms like nausea, fatigue, disorientation, headache, muscle cramps, or even seizures, particularly if severe and rapid decrease of serum sodium
A few series in the literature were published before 1987 on syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH) in small cell lung cancer (SCLC). This study examines the outcome in more recent era. From 1981-1998, there were 1417 new cases of SCLC diagnosed in the provincial registry,
Anti-γ-aminobutyric acid B receptor (anti-GABABR) encephalitis is a rare type of autoimmune encephalitis (AE). Although it responds well to immunomodulating therapy and has favorable prognosis, anti-GABABR AE has often been misdiagnosed as infectious encephalitis. Herein, we
To assess whether therapeutic efficacy is related to intra-arterial (IA) mannitol infusion prior to ACNU and cisplatin (CDDP) for brain metastases from lung cancer, clinical results of patients with and without IA mannitol infusion were compared. Thirty-nine patients were randomly assigned to either
Introduction: Encephalitis with gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-B receptor antibodies (GABA-B receptor encephalitis) is known to have underlying neoplastic condition in half of the cases; however, there could be an additional event that
