Autonomic Neuropathy and Albuminocytologic Dissociation in Cerebrospinal Fluid As the Presenting Features of Primary Amyloidosis: A Case Report.

Project description:Primary amyloidosis is a disease with a poor prognosis and multi-organ involvement. Here, we report the clinical and pathological features of a patient with primary amyloidosis featuring autonomic neuropathy as the initial symptom and albuminocytologic dissociation in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).The patient was a 60-year-old Chinese male with numbness, orthostatic hypotension, and gastrointestinal symptoms. For diagnosis, we performed an electromyogram (EMG), lumbar puncture, Bence Jones protein urine test, serum electrophoresis blood test, sural nerve and rectal membrane biopsies, transthyretin (TTR) gene sequencing, and bone marrow puncture.Congo red staining of sural nerve and rectal membrane biopsies showed amyloid deposition and apple-green birefringence was visualized under polarized light microscopy. TTR gene sequencing showed no causative mutation. Following lumbar puncture, normal CSF cell counts and elevated CSF protein concentration (1,680 mg/L) were detected. Bone marrow puncture showed that out of the total number of whole blood cells, 0.56% were abnormal plasma cells and that 87.4% of the total number of plasma cells were abnormal. EMG results showed mixed peripheral nerve damage predominately in the sensory nerve fibers.Obvious symptoms of neuropathy, particularly autonomic neuropathy, albuminocytologic dissociation, and organ function damage suggested a diagnosis of amyloidosis. In such patients, neurologists should use caution to differentiate between chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy, primary amyloidosis, and familial amyloid neuropathy.

Cerebrospinal Fluid Leak Presenting as Epiphora.

Project description:A 52-year-old woman underwent a right frontotemporal craniotomy for microsurgical clip obliteration of a ruptured right dorsal variant ophthalmic segment carotid aneurysm. During the craniotomy, a defect involving the orbital roof was inadvertently created. The patient was noted postoperatively to have fluid egressing from her OD. The fluid was analyzed and based on glucose and chloride levels was determined to be cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). CT scan of the head demonstrated the orbital roof defect created during surgery. After placement of a lumbar drain, fluid egress from the eye significantly decreased, further confirming the suspicion for CSF leak. Patient was found to have a conjunctival defect of the OD, approximately 2.5 cm × 1.5 cm, extending to the fornix from 9 to 12 o'clock. The conjunctival defect and fornix were repaired with an amniotic membrane graft and a temporary tarsorrhaphy with subsequent resolution of CSF egress. The case report is in compliance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act.

Multifocal Motor Neuropathy Presenting as Pseudodystonia.

Project description:Multifocal motor neuropathy (MMN) is an immune-mediated neuropathy. Wasting and weakness typically dominate the clinical presentation. We describe four cases presenting with prominent cramping resembling a primary movement disorder. All cases had features of focal motor conduction block on neurophysiological studies. The involuntary movements resolved in all four patients following treatment with intravenous immunoglobulin. The presented cases highlight an unusual presentation of MMN and emphasize that peripheral nerve pathology can present with movement disorders mimicking central nervous system disease. Furthermore, the movement disorder appears particularly sensitive to standard therapy.

Aberrant plasticity of peripheral sensory axons in a painful neuropathy.

Project description:Neuronal cells express considerable plasticity responding to environmental cues, in part, through subcellular mRNA regulation. Here we report on the extensive changes in distribution of mRNAs in the cell body and axon compartments of peripheral sensory neurons and the 3' untranslated region (3'UTR) landscapes after unilateral sciatic nerve entrapment (SNE) injury in rats. Neuronal cells dissociated from SNE-injured and contralateral L4 and L5 dorsal root ganglia were cultured in a compartmentalized system. Axonal and cell body RNA samples were separately subjected to high throughput RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq). The injured axons exhibited enrichment of mRNAs related to protein synthesis and nerve regeneration. Lengthening of 3'UTRs was more prevalent in the injured axons, including the newly discovered alternative cleavage and polyadenylation of NaV1.8 mRNA. Alternative polyadenylation was largely independent from the relative abundance of axonal mRNAs; but they were highly clustered in functional pathways related to RNA granule formation in the injured axons. These RNA-Seq data analyses indicate that peripheral nerve injury may result in highly selective mRNA enrichment in the affected axons with 3'UTR alterations potentially contributing to the mechanism of neuropathic pain.

Multifocal motor neuropathy, multifocal acquired demyelinating sensory and motor neuropathy, and other chronic acquired demyelinating polyneuropathy variants.

Project description:Chronic acquired demyelinating neuropathies (CADP) constitute an important group of immune neuromuscular disorders affecting myelin. This article discusses CADP with emphasis on multifocal motor neuropathy, multifocal acquired demyelinating sensory and motor neuropathy, distal acquired demyelinating symmetric neuropathy, and less common variants. Although each of these entities has distinctive laboratory and electrodiagnostic features that aid in their diagnosis, clinical characteristics are of paramount importance in diagnosing specific conditions and determining the most appropriate therapies. Knowledge regarding pathogenesis, diagnosis, and management of these disorders continues to expand, resulting in improved opportunities for identification and treatment.

Sensory phenotype and risk factors for painful diabetic neuropathy: a cross-sectional observational study.

Project description:Different sensory profiles in diabetic distal symmetrical sensory-motor polyneuropathy (DSPN) may be associated with pain and the responsiveness to analgesia. We aimed to characterize sensory phenotypes of patients with painful and painless diabetic neuropathy and to assess demographic, clinical, metabolic, and electrophysiological parameters related to the presence of neuropathic pain in a large cohort of well-defined DSPN subjects. This observational cross-sectional multi-center cohort study (performed as part of the ncRNAPain EU consortium) of 232 subjects with nonpainful (n = 74) and painful (n = 158) DSPN associated with diabetes mellitus of type 1 and 2 (median age 63 years, range 21-87 years; 92 women) comprised detailed history taking, laboratory tests, neurological examination, quantitative sensory testing, nerve conduction studies, and neuropathy severity scores. All parameters were analyzed with regard to the presence and severity of neuropathic pain. Neuropathic pain was positively correlated with the severity of neuropathy and thermal hyposensitivity (P < 0.001). A minority of patients with painful DSPN (14.6%) had a sensory profile, indicating thermal hypersensitivity that was associated with less severe neuropathy. Neuropathic pain was further linked to female sex and higher cognitive appraisal of pain as assessed by the pain catastrophizing scale (P < 0.001), while parameters related to diabetes showed no influence on neuropathic pain with the exception of laboratory signs of nephropathy. This study confirms the value of comprehensive DSPN phenotyping and underlines the importance of the severity of neuropathy for the presence of pain. Different sensory phenotypes might be useful for stratification of patients with painful DSPN for analgesic treatment and drug trials.
