Hyperglycemia is associated with poor survival in primary central nervous system lymphoma patients.

Purpose: Primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) is a type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), and it has been postulated that metabolic disorder may contribute to NHL etiology. We retrospectively investigated the prognostic significance of hyperglycemia in patients with PCNSL. We evaluated glucose transporter type 1 (GLUT1) expression by immunohistochemistry and analyzed its association with hyperglycemia and survival.

Intra-arterial indocyanine green angiography in the management of spinal arteriovenous fistulae: technical case reports.

Study Design: We first present 2 cases of spinal arteriovenous fistulae (AVFs) successfully treated with the help of intra-arterial indocyanine green (ICG) angiography.

Objective: To demonstrate the efficacy of intra-arterial ICG angiography in spinal AVFs compared with the role of intravenous ICG injection and intraoperative digital subtraction angiography (DSA).

Summary Of Background Data: Intravenous ICG fluorescent angiography is an emerging intraoperative tool to recognize vascular anatomy.

[Spontaneous cervical epidural hematoma presenting with hemiparesis following neck extension: a case report].

A 42-year-old woman suddenly developed weakness in her left extremities when stretching her neck two days after the onset of a nuchal pain. Because computed tomography (CT) of the brain did not show any apparent lesion, the patient had initially been treated as having a cerebral infarction until magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the cervical spine revealed a presence of a cervical epidural hematoma the next day. She was therefore transferred to our hospital, and a neurological examination showed moderate left hemiparesis, dissociated sensory loss under C6 on the right side, urinary incontinence, and left miosis and ptosis.
