Breast Cancer Presenting As Onconeural Antibody Negative Opsoclonus-Myoclonus Syndrome.

Breast cancer can rarely present with or be preceded by paraneoplastic syndromes such as opsoclonus-myoclonus syndrome (OMS). OMS is a rare neurological syndrome that commonly presents with symptoms of rapid, chaotic eye movements (opsoclonus), jerking involuntary muscle movements (myoclonus) and is frequently associated with ataxia. We describe a case of a woman in her early 50s who presented to the emergency room (ER) with vertigo, jerking movements, loss of fine motor skills and gait abnormalities. She was initially thought to have likely vestibular neuritis and was treated symptomatically …

Audiological involvement in patients with systemic sclerosis.

OBJECTIVES: The aim of the present study was to evaluate hearing loss in patients diagnosed with systemic sclerosis (SSc) and to investigate the relation between hearing loss, subtypes of the disease, its duration and clinical findings, and antibody positivity. METHODS: The study included 47 patients with SSc and 44 healthy controls. Audiometric, tympanometric, and otoacoustic emission measurements were applied to both groups. RESULTS: The evaluation of the participants medical history showed that among the patients with SSc, 19.1% experienced ear fullness, 27.7% experienced vertigo, and 36.…

Acetylation turns leucine into a drug by membrane transporter switching.

Small changes to molecules can have profound effects on their pharmacological activity as exemplified by the addition of the two-carbon acetyl group to make drugs more effective by enhancing their pharmacokinetic or pharmacodynamic properties. N-acetyl-D,L-leucine is approved in France for vertigo and its L-enantiomer is being developed as a drug for rare and common neurological disorders. However, the precise mechanistic details of how acetylation converts leucine into a drug are unknown. Here we show that acetylation of leucine switches its uptake into cells from the L-type amino acid transp…

Relationship between headaches and tinnitus in a Swedish study.

The heterogeneity of tinnitus is likely accounting for the lack of effective treatment approaches. Headaches have been related to tinnitus, … any tinnitus. With increasing tinnitus severity, fewer differences were found, the major ones being vertigo, neck pain and other pain syndromes, as well as stress and anxiety. Our study suggests that headaches could contribute to tinnitus distress and potentially its severity.

Evaluation of high frequency horizontal VOR parameters in patients with chronic bilateral and unilateral peripheral vestibulopathy: a preliminary study.

BACKGROUND: Caloric test is one of the tests which evaluates the low frequency component of vestibular system for both diagnosis of the BPV and UPV. AIMS: The main objectives are to determine and increase the diagnostic value of BPV and UPV by evaluating the high frequency horizontal VOR parameters with HIMP, SHIMP and fHIT, to compare test results with healthy controls, and to evaluate correlation of these tests with vertigo dizziness imbalance (VDI) questionnaire results in these patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Six patients with BPV, ten patients with UPV and fifteen healthy controls were …

Pituitary macroadenoma resulting from primary hypothyroidism; a 16-year-old girl.

BACKGROUND: Primary hypothyroidism is a common medical condition. It can lead to pituitary adenoma which is usually asymptomatic, but it can also lead to symptomatic macroadenomas which are hard to diagnose due to different clinical presentations. CASE PRESENTATION: A 16-year-old girl presented for endocrinology consultation prior to neurosurgical operation. She had galactorrhea which was accompanied by vertigo & low grade blurred vision without a headache and was diagnosed with pituitary macroadenoma and was planned for a surgery. She had TSH level of more than 100 mU/L, free thyroxine of 1.…

Retrosigmoid Transmeatal Endoscope-Assisted Approach in Semi-Sitting Position for Resection of Vestibular Schwannoma: 2-D operative Video.

We present a case of a mid-sized vestibular schwannoma (T3b according to the Hannover classification) that was resected through a retrosigmoid transmeatal approach in semi-sitting position under endoscopic assistance. The patient is a 52-year-old male with acute loss of functional hearing on the right side. Audiometry confirmed a loss of up to 60 dB and lost speech discrimination, there were no associated symptoms such as tinnitus or vertigo. This 2D video demonstrates positioning, OR set-up, anatomical and surgical nuances of the skull base approach and the operative technique for microdissec…

Low Concentration Intra-Tympanic Gentamicin Treatment for Menière's Disease: A Long-Term Follow Up.

Magnetic Vestibular Stimulation (MVS) As a Technique for Understanding the Normal and Diseased Labyrinth.

Humans often experience dizziness and vertigo around strong static magnetic fields such as those present in an MRI scanner. Recent evidence supports the idea that this effect is the result of inner ear vestibular stimulation and that the mechanism is a magnetohydrodynamic force (Lorentz force) that is generated by the interactions between normal ionic currents in the inner ear endolymph and the strong static magnetic field of MRI machines. While in the MRI, the Lorentz force displaces the cupula of the lateral and anterior semicircular canals, as if the head was rotating with a constant accele…

In vivo assessment of neurological channelopathies: Application of peripheral nerve excitability studies.

With the rapid evolution of understanding of neurological channelopathies comes a need for sensitive tools to evaluate patients in clinical practice. Neurological channelopathies with a single-gene basis can manifest as seizures, headache, ataxia, vertigo, confusion, weakness and neuropathic pain and it is likely that other genetic factors contribute to the phenotype of many of these disorders. Ion channel dysfunction can result in abnormal cell membrane excitability but utilisation of advanced neurophysiology techniques has lagged behind developments in clinical, genetic and imaging evaluatio…
