Abstract

OBJECTIVE To characterize the incidence, diagnostic and therapeutic trends and raise awareness of cases of Herpes Simplex Encephalitis occurring within 30 days after neurosurgery for CNS tumors. METHOD Literature search for cases meeting above criteria and meta-analysis of data. RESULTS 18 cases were studied. The most common tumor was meningitis. Encephalopathy, fever and seizure were the most common presenting symptoms (94%, 83% and 50 % respectively). 50% of cases had HSV-1, 22% had HSV-2, while 28% were unspecified. A majority of the patients (78%) received in acyclovir, with a 79% survival rate with treatment. Mortality rate was 100% without acyclovir treatment. Median time of starting acyclovir was 17 days. Most patients received steroids (78%) but steroids was not associated with a specific outcome. CONCLUSION Herpes simplex Encephalitis should be suspected after neurosurgery for tumors in patients with fever, encephalopathy or seizures and should be promptly treated with iv acyclovir. A delay in recognition and failure to treat could result in severe morbidity and mortality. In our study steroid use was not associated with improved outcome but larger studies are needed.

Abstract

Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is a type of well-differentiated thyroid cancer that accounts for the majority of thyroid malignancies. The prognosis of PTC is very good and distant metastases are rare, especially to the skull base. The authors report the case of a 47-year-old woman with biopsy-proven PTC treated with surgery and radiation therapy who presented with headache and diplopia after 5 years and was found to have clivus and cavernous sinus metastasis. Following radiation therapy for her skull base and cavernous sinus lesion, she subsequently developed sixth nerve ocular neuromyotonia. Possible causes and treatments are reviewed.

Abstract

Visual information is transduced in the retinas and transmitted via the optic nerves. At the optic chiasm some fibers decussate while others remain ipsilateral to facilitate contralateral visual field representation in post-chiasmatic structures. The anatomy and physiology facilitate localization of lesions. In turn, anatomic localization narrows the differential diagnosis of disease facilitating focused laboratory and radiographic investigation. In turn, treatments are directed based on localization and diagnosis.
