Baló’S Concentric Sclerosis

Baló’s concentric sclerosis is a rare variant of multiple sclerosis. It belongs to the group of primary inflammatory central nervous system demyelinating diseases having no clear etiology. Peculiar radiological findings on magnetic resonance imaging are alternating rings of demyelinated and myelinated axons resembling an “onion bulb.” We report on a case of a patient with cocaine abuse who presented with Balò’s-like acute multifocal leukoencephalopathy supported by histological and radiological findings. The abuse of cocaine and its most frequent adulterant, levamisole, may induce ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke and metabolic or multifocal inflammatory leukoencephalopathy. Only a few studies described levamisole-induced leukoencephalopathy mimicking Balò round lesions. Nevertheless, it has not yet been established the correlation between them; it might also be possible that the cocaine/levamisole addiction represents just a coincidence in some of those patients affected by Balò sclerosis disease.

Wegener's Granuloma

The involvement of the central nervous system in case of Wegener granulomatosis (WG) is infrequent and usually leads to cranial nerve abnormalities, cerebrovascular events, and seizures. Meningeal involvement is quite rare and usually is due to the spreading from adjacent disease in the skull base. We described the case of a remote intraparenchymal Wegener’s granuloma in a 55-year-old man presenting with seizures and a history of severe generalized WG. The radiological findings were not useful for the diagnosis, and the pharmacological treatment was ineffective. The importance of a surgery in case of localized WG has been emphasized, in order to confirm the diagnosis and to avoid additional medicaments, like antiepileptic drugs, potentially harmful in immunosuppressed patients.

The annual incidence of tumors of the central nervous system ranges from 10 to 17 per 100,000 persons for intracranial tumors and 1 to 2 per 100,000 persons for intraspinal tumors. Tumors of the CNS account for nearly 20% of all cancers of childhood. Seventy percent of childhood CNS tumors arise in the posterior fossa; a comparable number of tumors in adults arise within the cerebral hemispheres above the tentorium

The radiological findings fulfilling the criteria of neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) were reviewed. NF2 is a rare disease with few cutaneous but frequent, typical radiological findings in the central nervous system. The presenting symptom is most commonly hearing loss due to acoustic schwannomas, although symptoms emanating from other intracranial or tumors are not uncommon. The discovery of multiple spinal neurofibromas or multiple meningiomas without cutaneous lesions should initiate a search for acoustic schwannomas even when the patient has normal hearing as in our case patient who actually presented for weakness of all four limbs.

Abstract Background: If the brain tumor is suspected to be a primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) on radiological findings, it is general to perform biopsy to obtain the pathological diagnosis. Glioblastomas (GBs) must be distinguished from PCNSLs. In addition to commonly used contrast-enhanced T1-weighted imaging, diffusion-weighted image (DWI), and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) value, the following characteristics of PCNSLs were reported to be essential for this purpose: 1) no increase in blood flow on perfusion images obtained by the arterial spin labeling (ASL) method; 2) less microbleeding on T2*-weighted images (T2*). However, we experienced some exceptional cases. Purpose: To clarify the histopathological features of PCNSLs those had atypical radiological findings. Method: 62 consecutive PCNSL cases (40 males, 22 females, mean age 65.4 years, range 35–84) treated in our department from April 2013 to March 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. We compared the following features between 47 biopsy cases showing typical image findings as PCNSLs (Group A) and 15 surgically resected cases with atypical findings (Group B), 1) number of blood vessels per hyper 10 fields, 2) occupying area of blood vessels per unit area, 3) immunoreactivity of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and 4) germinal center B-cell (GCB) subtype. Results: In Group A, the number of blood vessels in the tumor was 39.3 on average, and the area occupied by blood vessels was 3.8%. In Group B, the former was 133.2, and the latter was 9.9%. There was no significant difference in VEGF expression and GCB subtype. Conclusion: In PCNSLs showing with high blood flow and microbleeds, the blood vessels were rich and partial bleeding was confirmed histologically. We should analyze much more cases to set the threshold both of the ADC value and the absolute value of blood flow calculated by the ASL method to distinguish between PCNSLs and GBs.

Introduction. Turner syndrome is a chromosomal abnormality where all or a part of one of the X chromosomes is absent or it has other abnormalities. Besides characteristic abnormalities of short stature and infertility, women with Turner syndrome have increased risks for tumors of the central nervous system, especially meningioma and an otologic disease. Meningioma involving the middle ear is extremely rare, and this condition has never been published in association with Turner syndrome. Case Report. We present an otologic manifestation associated with other abnormalities in a patient with Turner syndrome and discuss diagnosis and possible treatment options. Conclusion. Multidisciplinary team approach is essential in these patients in order to evaluate their vulnerability and define therapeutic priorities.
