[Cerebral magnetic resonance imaging in iatrogenic Creutzfeldt-Jacob disease].

Introduction: We describe here the cerebral cerebral magnetic resonance (MRI) abnormalities observed in a case of iatrogenic Creutzfeldt-Jacob disease (CD).

Case: A 37 year-old man had been treated for pituitary dwarfism during adolescence with contaminated growth hormone. Neurological symptoms nearly two decades later suggested CJD.

Nerve granulomas and vasculitis in sarcoid peripheral neuropathy: a clinicopathological study of 11 patients.

Peripheral neuropathy is a rare, yet treatable manifestation of sarcoidosis, a multisystem disorder characterized by the presence of non-caseating granulomas that are seldom found in nerve biopsy specimens. In order to learn more about the subject, we reviewed our clinical and pathological findings in a series of 11 patients (six men and five women aged 26-83 years) with symptomatic neuropathy associated with characteristic granulomas in nerve biopsy specimens. Only two patients were known to have sarcoidosis before the occurrence of the neuropathy.
