[The coexistence of Tolosa-Hunt syndrome and diabetic cranial mononeuropathy: a case report and a review of literature].

Tolosa-Hunt syndrome (THS) is described as painful ophtalmoplegia caused by nonspesific inflammation of cavernous sinus or superior orbital fissure, which is response to steroid theraphy. Cranial neuropathies in diabetic patients are extremely rare and occur in older patients with poorly controlled diabetes. A 56-year-old diabetic female patient who developed simultaneous right VI.

The coexistence of multiple sclerosis and hereditary spastic paraparesis in a patient.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic disease characterized by multiple areas of central nervous system inflammation, demyelination and axonal loss. Hereditary spastic paraparesis (HSP) is characterized clinically by progressive spasticity and weakness of the lower limbs and pathologically by retrograd axonal degeneration of the corticospinal tracts and posterior columns. We identified a patient with clinical history and investigation findings consistent with the concurrence of both MS and HSP.

The presentation of headache in neuro-Behçet's disease: a case-series.

Introduction: Behçet's disease (BD) is a chronic, relapsing, multisystemic, inflammatory disorder with unknown etiology. Neurological involvement is observed in about 5% of the patients with BD and headache is a frequently reported symptom with or without neurological involvement. In this case-series, we aim to demonstrate the secondary headaches associated with neuro-Behçet's disease in consecutive BD patients who had been referred for neurologic evaluation.

Clustering of organ-specific autoimmunity: a case presentation of multiple sclerosis and connective tissue disorders.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the most common demyelinating disease caused by an autoimmune inflammatory process in the central nervous system (CNS) and is associated with aberrant immune response to myelin selfantigens. Coexistence of MS with other autoimmune disorders, including connective tissue disorders including systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, Sjögren's syndrome and scleroderma have been reported previously. In the present article we report the coexistence of MS, familial mediterranean fever and ankylosing spondylitis in a patient and review the clinical presentation, neurologic findings, cerebrospinal fluid and radiologic characteristics and treatment options.
