Ventriculoperitoneal Shunting

Syringomyelia is an uncommon late complication of tuberculous meningitis with a latency period of up to 18 years. Acute hydromyelia is exceedingly rare with few case reports occuring within the first 6 weeks. We present a case and magnetic resonance imaging of a 38-year-old immunocompetent woman with this rare complication of early hydromyelia due to tuberculous meningitis which responded to ventriculoperitoneal shunting, highlighting that early detection and treatment may improve prognosis.

Vascular Compartment

Abstract An 18-year-old woman presented during the 2nd month of her pregnancy with noncommunicating hydrocephalus due to a cerebellar hemangioblastoma. The tumor rapidly enlarged over a 12-day period after ventriculoperitoneal shunting, probably because of expansion of the vascular compartment. Serial computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging observations support previous speculations in the literature that vascular engorgement of hemangioblastomas probably accounts for the rapid deterioration of some patients during pregnancy.

The increasing use of radiological examination, especially magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), will probably increase the risk of unintended discovery of bone marrow abnormalities in patients where a hematologic disease would not be expected. In this paper we present four patients with different hematologic malignancies of nonplasma cell types. In all patients the MRI bone marrow abnormalities represent an initial presentation of the disease. These case reports illustrate the importance of a careful diagnostic follow-up without delay of patients with MRI bone marrow abnormalities, because such abnormalities can represent the first sign of both acute promyelocytic leukemia as well as other variants of acute leukemia.
