Article Synopsis
- MCAP (Megalencephaly-capillary malformation-polymicrogyria syndrome) is a rare neurological disorder caused by mutations in the PIK3CA gene, leading to abnormal brain growth, vascular issues, and body overgrowth.
- A clinical report details an infant diagnosed with MCAP, who showed signs of the disorder from prenatal imaging, which identified megalencephaly and a confirmed PIK3CA mutation postnatally, followed by early medical interventions.
- Despite these interventions, the patient faced ongoing challenges such as macrocrania, hydrocephalus, and neurodevelopmental delays, highlighting the importance of multidisciplinary care and monitoring to manage the complexities of the disorder and emphasizing potential future therapies for better outcomes.
Unlabelled: Central nervous system (CNS) lymphoma is a rare and aggressive primary neoplasm that comprises a small proportion of brain tumours and non-Hodgkin lymphomas. We present a case report of a 64-year-old woman with CNS lymphoma, who exhibited cognitive changes, weight loss and neurological symptoms. Imaging scans revealed multiple lesions in the brain and thrombosis in the venous sinuses.
