The frequency of central nervous system complications in the Cypriot cohort of ATTRV30M neuropathy transplanted patients.

Background: Hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTR) is a hereditary, sensorimotor and autonomic neuropathy caused by deposits of mutated transthyretin (TTR). The commonest TTR mutation is V30M (ATTRV30M) with patients usually living for about 10 years after disease onset. Liver transplantation (LT) until recently was considered the standard treatment.

Acute adrenal insufficiency as a first presentation of myelodysplastic syndrome and sigmoid colon adenocarcinoma: a case report.

Acute adrenal failure due to bilateral adrenal haemorrhage is rare and may initially present with non-specific symptoms. It can rapidly progress into a life-threatening condition if not diagnosed promptly. Both traumatic and non-traumatic conditions have been implicated in the aetiology, with the latter been even rarer.

Morvan's syndrome associated with antibodies to multiple components of the voltage-gated potassium channel complex.

We describe a patient presenting with a combination of muscle fasciculations, paresthesias, hyperhidrosis, as well as insomnia, agitation and confusion. He went on to develop psychosis and respiratory failure requiring intensive care. Electromyography confirmed the presence of neuromyotonia and CSF showed mild pleocytosis.
