Opioid-Induced Leukoencephalopathies: A Report of Two Cases.

Acute toxic leukoencephalopathy (ATL) and delayed post-hypoxic leukoencephalopathy (DPHL) are two possible adverse entities related to opioid intoxication (OI), each having a distinct clinical course. While ATL shows a monophasic course with gradual neurological deterioration, DPHL has a distinct biphasic course. We report a case of ATL along with a case of DPHL happening in young male patients with OI, including their clinical courses as well as imaging characteristics with comparable time intervals.

[Renal venous thrombosis as a complication of nephrotic syndrome].

Venous thromboembolism is a very common complication of nephrotic syndrome (NS). This case report concerns a 19-year-old male, who had known NS and was admitted two times in a short period, first presenting with recurrent symptoms of NS and later with an acute abdomen, which was diagnosed as renal venous thrombosis (RVT) and pulmonary thromboembolism. The patient was treated with prednisolone and therapeutic doses of dalteparin and warfarin.
