Terbutaline Sulfate

Terbutaline sulfate is a β2 adrenergic agonist agent used in treatment of asthma. Terbutaline’s adverse effects such as skeletal muscle tremor, tachycardia, hyperglicemia and various metabolic effects are mediated by beta-adrenoceptor stimulation .Terbutaline is not recommend use for children younger than 2 years of age.The case of a 44-day-old girl who experienced focal seizure following oral terbutaline sulfate use is presented.For exclusion of other causes of focal seizure, we used brain magnetic resonance imaging, and electroencephalography and it is concluded that focal seizure developed as a result of terbutaline sulfate use

Pituitary Lesion

Pituitary hormone testing is recommended in refractory cluster headache (CH), but supporting evidence is limited. We present a patient with cluster-like headaches and a negative brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) 1 year after headache onset. He failed multiple medication trials. Three years after headache onset, additional workup showed abnormal pituitary labs including hyperprolactinemia and a brain MRI with a 15 × 15 × 14 mm3 enhancing pituitary lesion. With cabergoline 0.25 mg twice weekly, the patient has been headache-free for over 2 years. This case supports the recommendations for pituitary testing in refractory CH, even if imaging is initially negative for a pituitary tumor.

Anterior Compartment

We present a case report of newly diagnosed neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) with associated myocarditis and diffuse oedema of the pelvic and anterior compartment thigh muscles on magnetic resonance imaging. Aquaporin 4 antibodies are expressed in skeletal myofibres but involvement of skeletal muscle is rarely reported in NMOSD and myocarditis has not previously been described in this context. This case highlights the need for further research into the involvement of cardiac and skeletal muscle in NMOSD.

Pol Iii

Pol III-related leukodystrophy is a recently recognized category of leukodystrophy with characteristic clinical presentation and imaging findings. These cases are diagnosed by the combination of typical clinical presentation, brain magnetic resonance imaging findings, and the presence of biallelic pathogenic mutations in three specific genes. We present the case of a 6-year-old girl who demonstrated the classic clinical and imaging features of this disorder. This case report aims to raise awareness of this disorder so that it is easily recognized in the appropriate setting.
