Tendon Ruptures

Fluoroquinolone antibiotics (such as ciprofloxacin, pefloxacin, ofloxacin, norfloxacin, temafloxacin, etc.) have recently been implicated in the etiology of Achilles tendinitis and subsequent tendon rupture. We report on a patient with bilateral partial Achilles tendon ruptures associated with ciprofloxacin therapy and present a review of the current literature on this increasingly recognized complication. Treatment with fluoroquinolones should be discontinued at the first sign of tendon inflammation so as to reduce the risk of subsequent rupture. Magnetic resonance imaging is useful in distinguishing between Achilles tendinitis and partial tendon rupture.

Global Amnesia

Hippocampal infarction is relatively rare. Many different diseases can mimic hippocampal infarction including transient global amnesia, Alzheimer’s disease, epilepsy, encephalitis, and encephalopathies. An 89-year-old man was transported to our hospital for altered consciousness. Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging revealed slightly intense signals in the hippocampus with a mildly decreased apparent diffusion coefficient. Serial magnetic resonance imaging revealed features of hippocampal infarction. Symptoms and cognitive function gradually improved with rehabilitation, and he was transferred to a rehabilitation facility on Hospital Day 38. Hippocampal infarction is rare in patients with altered mental status, but should be considered when magnetic resonance imaging shows findings suggestive of this condition. Other differential diseases should be ruled out by serial magnetic resonance imaging and observation of the clinical course.
