Concomitant abducens and facial nerve palsies following bone temporal fracture: Case report.

Project description:IntroductionLesions of the nervus abducens, the 6th cranial nerve tend to be rare, usually occur suddenly following head injuries. The existence of the association of several lesions of the cranial pairs in spite of their rarity must lead the clinician to establish a complete lesion assessment before any cranial trauma.Case reportWe describe an illustrative case of sixth nerve palsy associated to facial nerve palsy following a motor vehicle accident. A 36-year-old man had temporal bone fracture after a motor vehicle accident and developed horizontal diplopia and left-sided facial droop, Cranial tomography demonstrated left translabyrinthique bone temporal fracture and fracture of the petrous apex.DiscussionThe petrous apex is an anatomical area rich in vascular and nervous elements. Any damage to this area, whether inflammatory, tumoral or traumatic, as described in this manuscript, can have an irreversible effect if a rapid diagnosis and management is not established.Conclusionwe report our experience with head trauma with exceptional manifestations, for a better knowledge of these affections, studies with a large number of patients are necessary.

Clinical Approach to Supranuclear Brainstem Saccadic Gaze Palsies.

Project description:Failure of brainstem supranuclear centers for saccadic eye movements results in the clinical presence of a brainstem-mediated supranuclear saccadic gaze palsy (SGP), which is manifested as slowing of saccades with or without range of motion limitation of eye movements and as loss of quick phases of optokinetic nystagmus. Limitation in the range of motion of eye movements is typically worse with saccades than with smooth pursuit and is overcome with vestibular-ocular reflexive eye movements. The differential diagnosis of SGPs is broad, although acute-onset SGP is most often from brainstem infarction and chronic vertical SGP is most commonly caused by the neurodegenerative condition progressive supranuclear palsy. In this review, we discuss the brainstem anatomy and physiology of the brainstem saccade-generating network; we discuss the clinical features of SGPs, with an emphasis on insights from quantitative ocular motor recordings; and we consider the broad differential diagnosis of SGPs.

Teaching NeuroImages: sacral spine chloroma.

Project description:A 23-year-old man with recurrent acute myeloid leukemia (AML) underwent successful reinduction and was judged posttherapy to be in complete remission. Soon thereafter, he complained of pain in his left buttock radiating into his left posterior thigh. Neurologic examination was unremarkable. Radiographic evaluation demonstrated a left S2 lesion suggestive of a nerve sheath tumor (figure 1). An open biopsy was performed that revealed a chloroma pathologically (figure 2), sometimes referred to as a myeloid sarcoma.(1,2) Most chloromas are found in patients with recurrent AML and are overwhelmingly intracranial.(1) Infrequently, chloromas are paraspinal, and in this location present with epidural spinal cord compression.(2) Intraspinal invasion by a chloroma is rare. Systemic evaluation confirmed recurrent AML, for which he was successfully treated with reinduction and whole-body irradiation followed by an allogeneic transplant. He is currently disease-free and neurologically asymptomatic 1 year posttransplant.

A Case of Aqueductal Stenosis with Bilateral Papilledema and Abducens Nerve Palsies without Headache.

Project description:IntroductionWe report a case of aqueductal stenosis presenting with bilateral papilledema and diplopia, notably without headache.Case presentationA 16-year-old girl with no relevant medical history presented with a 1-week history of binocular diplopia without any loss of visual acuity in either eye. At the time of her visit, she had no symptoms of headache or vomiting. Examination of eye movements revealed bilateral abduction deficits and fundoscopic examination showed bilateral optic disc swelling. Non-contrast computed tomography of the head indicated hydrocephalus. Contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging of the head revealed significant dilatation of the lateral and third ventricles but not in the fourth ventricle. Sagittal T2-weighted imaging with constructive interference in the steady state showed membranous occlusion of the cerebral aqueduct. The patient underwent an endoscopic third ventriculostomy. Binocular diplopia improved during the early postoperative period.ConclusionAqueductal stenosis should be considered in the differential diagnosis for patients presenting with bilateral papilledema and abducens nerve palsies, even in the absence of headache or other neurological findings.
