Hydranencephaly is a central nervous system disorder at birth in which brain's cerebral hemispheres are absent and replaced by sacks filled with CSF. The prevalence of hydranencephaly is less than 1 in 10,000 births, with 0.2 percent of children autopsies showing the condition.

Background Chronic lymphocytic inflammation with pontine perivascular enhancement responsive to steroids (CLIPPERS) is an inflammatory central nervous system disorder, typically presenting with subacute symptoms referable to brainstem and cerebellar pathology. This is the first report of CLIPPERS presenting with a painful trigeminal neuropathy. Case report We report an unusual case of CLIPPERS presenting with facial pain and sensory symptoms, in the absence of other brainstem or cerebellar signs. Perivascular enhancement of peri-pontine structures on neuroimaging, lymphocytic infiltrate on histopathology and rapid clinical and radiological responsiveness to glucocorticosteroids were key to diagnosis. Extensive investigations excluded various differential aetiologies. Conclusion The pathogenesis of CLIPPERS is poorly understood, and the diagnostic criteria are yet to be validated. In this case, facial pain was not associated with other brainstem or cerebellar signs, broadening current understanding of how CLIPPERS may present. This has clinical implications in guiding future investigations for patients presenting with painful trigeminal neuropathy.

Workers who are exposed to evaporated organic compound from printing in the long term will have the risk for subjective symptom of central nervous system disorder in which it is the main entrance to the body through inhalation process. Workers in the production unit will have the most dominant risk for it. The objective of the research was to analyze the influence of using respirator on subjective symptom of central nervous system disorder in worker who work at digital printing industry. The research used one group pretest-posttest design. The samples were workers, taken by using purposive sampling technique. Bivariate analysis used paired t-test at the significance level of 95% (α=0.05). The result of the research showed that p-value = 0.0001 (p<0.05) which indicated that there was significant difference in the scores of Q16 questionnaires between pre and post intervention. The result of Q16 questionnaire in Swedish version showed that 20 respondents (100%) had difficulty breathing and 20 respondents (100%) had headache at least once a week. In the post-intervention with using respirators in one month, there was no complaint anymore. Respirator is equipped with organic vapor cartridge which is able to absorb gas from contaminated air before it enters the workers’ respiratory system. Using respirator as a personal protective device influences the decrease in subjective symptom of central nervous system disorder in printing workers. Using filter, cartridge, or tube in respirator should be done accurately otherwise it will cause danger for the workers.
