Albright Syndrome

Forbes Albright syndrome is a hyperprolactinemia syndrome characterised by galactorrhea and amenorrhea associated with a pituitary tumour. Here we report a case of 30 years female who was admitted with menstrual irregularities for 4 months, galatorrhea and headache with recurrent episodes of loss of consciousness for 3months. Her serum prolactin level was highly raised. MRI brain (plain plus contrast) showed enlarged pituitary gland- pituitary macroadenoma. She was diagnosed as a case of Forbes Albright Syndrome and was treated with Tablet Cabergoline. With the medication, size of her tumour markedly reduced and symptoms resolved as she was followed up after 3 months.

A child of 2.5 years old had an intractable seizure, clinically had megalencephaly and mental retardation. On evaluation, video EEG showed fronto-central seizures and dysfunction R 1, scalp EEG showed bilateral paroxysmal bursts, MRI brain showed prominent vascular spaces in the hemisphere, GE reflux scan showed GERD. Other investigations were within normal limits. The child was treated with antiepileptics and antireflux measures and also rehabilitation.

Central tuberculomas, occurring because of the haematogenous spread of  M. tuberculosis, can present variably with the symptoms ranging from headache, decreased level of consciousness, neck stiffness to altered mental status, seizures and focal deficits. Diagnostic investigations include but are not limited to CSF analysis, MRI Brain, CT head, and AFB smear, mycobacterial cultures or CBNAAT of the CSF sample. Magnetic resonance spectroscopy can help distinguishing the tuberculoma from its differentials by showing a peculiar lipid peak. Treatment with the antituberculosis drugs over a prolonged period of time along with dexamethasone usually shows significant clinical improvement. Authors present to you the case report of an 8 year old boy who presented to the pediatric emergency with generalized tonic clonic seizures and was subsequently detected with the tuberculoma with the help of MRI Brain and CBNAAT (cartridge based nucleic acid amplification test) of CSF sample. The objective of this case report is to discuss the symptoms, pathogenesis, detection and management of tuberculomas, which are still quite common in the developing countries and if left untreated are associated with high morbidity and mortality.

New Onset

Abstract IntroductionAs more novel COVID-19 vaccines are being rolled out in a frantic pace globally, any complication that might be related to COVID-19 vaccines should be highlighted, especially since COVID-19 vaccines are relatively new, and side effects may yet to be fully elucidated. We report a case of a healthy 18-year-old male who presented with new onset focal seizures 5 days after receiving 1st dose of Oxford/AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine. Case PresentationThe patient was treated with intravenous phenytoin and oral levetiracetam 250mg twice daily with no further events. There was no documented fever. CT venogram and EEG were unremarkable. MRI brain revealed generalised atrophy including mild bilateral hippocampal atrophy with no evidence of sclerosis. There was no predilection for seizures identified from the patient’s history. The patient was discharged the following day on levetiracetam and advised to proceed with the 2nd dose of Oxford/AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccination in 3 months’ time.ConclusionSeizures following COVID-19 vaccination have only been reported in a handful of cases. COVID-19 vaccination could lower seizure threshold, or unmask an underlying predisposition for epilepsy. As most COVID-19 vaccines worldwide are given in 2 doses, clinicians should consider maintaining patients on anti-seizure drugs if vaccination was thought to be a provoking factor.

AbstractMetronidazole-induced encephalopathy is a rare toxic encephalopathy secondary to the common use to this antimicrobial drug. It has been reported mainly in adult patients but only rarely in children. Owing to possible devastating complication of this disease, clinicians should have a higher index of suspicion for encephalopathic patients on metronidazole therapy. Here, we report a 5-month-old infant with metronidazole-induced encephalopathy presenting with nonconvulsive status epilepticus. A review of the literature in pediatric, as well as adult metronidazole-induced encephalopathy, is also provided.

TB of CNS is an uncommon yet highly devastating manifestation of TB. It has a hematogenous spread manifesting as meningitis, cerebritis,TB abscess, Tuberculomas and spinal arachnoiditis. We are reporting a case of 26yr old female person presented with short duration of headache, vomiting, neck pain and altered sensorium .Examination revealed left eye Ptosis and right sided classical hemiplegia . Investigations revealed multiple intracranial tuberculomas in MRI brain and feautures suggestive of miliary TB on CTchest . Multiple tuberculomas are rare presentation of intracranial TB and prognosis is poor in patients with multiple tuberculomas . But in our case clinical improvement is observed with Anti Tubercular Therapy

Abstract Background During the recent outbreak of COVID-19, various atypical extrapulmonary manifestations are being seen, including neurological ones. Reported cases mainly include encephalopathy, myelitis, and cranial nerve involvement. This case describes uncommon neuroradiological finding in the context of COVID-19. Case presentation We report an atypical case of COVID-19 presenting with stroke-like episode, with MRI brain showing isolated bilateral posterior internal capsule involvement. This has rarely been reported in literature. Conclusion As the numbers of COVID-19 cases are increasing, such atypical presentations should be kept in mind.
