OBJECTIVE
Postictal pulmonary edema (PPE) is almost invariably present in human and animal cases of sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) coming to autopsy. PPE may be a contributing factor in SUDEP. The incidence of postictal PPE is unknown. We retrospectively investigated PPE following
Diffuse alveolar hemorrhage (DAH) with negative-pressure pulmonary edema (NPPE) is an uncommon yet life-threatening condition. We aimed at describing the circumstances, clinical, radiological, and bronchoscopic features, as well as the outcome of patients with NPPE-related DAH.
We performed a
BACKGROUND
Human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6), a widespread virus and causative agent of exanthema subitum in children, has been associated with a number of neurologic disorders including cranial nerve palsies, seizures, encephalitis, meningitis, and multiple sclerosis.
METHODS
A 31-year-old man presented
A 13-year-old boy fell off a tree and developed an acute subdural hematoma (SDH) which was treated conservatively because the patient was fully conscious. After a generalized tonic-clonic seizure, he manifested signs of uncal herniation and neurogenic pulmonary edema (NPE). The patient made a good
Cardiopulmonary complications associated with epilepsy are generally associated with generalized tonic-clonic seizures, as a consequence of systemic adrenergic discharge and release of inflammatory mediators. We present a case of a 34-year-old woman with a history of Focal epilepsy since
BACKGROUND
Organochlorine insecticides are highly toxic compounds that are responsible for a number of severe intoxications worldwide with several deaths. Despite their widespread use in agriculture during the 1940s to 1960s and the well-known signs and symptoms of intoxication, the clinical picture
We report a 7-month-old boy with Menkes disease who presented West syndrome. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed atrophy of the frontal and parietal lobes, subdural hematoma on the right side, and left temporal lobe lesion (low intensity in T1-weighted imaging (T1-WI), high intensity in
The present study describes a new test of tonic pain to be used as an animal model of persistent pain. First, pain responses and edema produced by subcutaneous injection of increasing doses of honey bee venom into the hind paw of the rat were quantified. Second, the effect of morphine and aspirin on
Pulmonary edema complicating generalized tonic-clonic seizures has rarely been reported in children, although it has been well documented in adults. We report two patients, aged 8 and 9 years, who developed clinical and radiographic evidence of the condition. Fever, leukocytosis, and arterial
A 16 year old patient with the typical clinical signs of Albright's hereditary dystrophia developed series of epileptic seizures with loss of consciousness, tonic muscle contractions and bite of the tongue. After termination of the seizures there was coma without focal neurological signs. CT scan
This study determined whether a rise in tonic secretion of LH occurred before long day-induced precocious puberty of the female ferret. Twenty immature females were assigned to 1 of 2 photoperiods at 15 weeks of age. Ten ferrets were placed in a long day, stimulatory photoperiod (16 h of light, 8 h

Primary intracranial leiomyosarcomas (LMSs) are unusual tumors of the central nervous system (CNS) affecting all age groups, and are recently, becoming more prevalent in immunosuppressive conditions such as in patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. However, only a few
A 63-year-old patient presented with cerebral hyperperfusion manifesting as transient aphasia and general tonic convulsions 3 and 4 days after superficial temporal artery to middle cerebral artery (STA-MCA) anastomosis. Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance (MR) imaging revealed a focal
