[A case of multiple cranial neuropathy after Campylobacter jejuni infection].

We report a patient who developed overlapping symptoms of ophthalmoplegia and oropharyngeal palsy after Campylobacter jejuni infection. A 15-year-old man had diarrhea and fever, and developed dysarthria, diplopia and ptosis two weeks later. He did not show ataxia, weakness or abnormal tendon reflexes in the extremities during the clinical course.

A case of hypertrophic pachymeningitis with prolonged headache, attributable to Epstein-Barr virus.

Hypertrophic pachymeningitis is a condition characterized by significant chronic inflammatory thickening of the cranial dura mater, frequently presenting with symptoms such as headache and cranial neuropathy. In this report, we describe a very rare case of hypertrophic pachymeningitis, considered to be attributable to Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), which was diagnosed in a patient who visited our hospital with a complaint of ongoing severe headaches. The diagnosis was based on positive specific serum EBV antibody titers, with VCA-IgM levels of less than 1:10, VCA-IgG levels of 1:160, and EBNA levels of 1:40, as well as on the results of magnetic resonance imaging of the head with contrast media.

Parkinson's disease and fatigue.

Fatigue is one of the most common symptoms in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD), and its impact on the quality of life is substantial. However, its cause and treatment are not established. Fatigue in PD has two components, peripheral and central, which may be related to each other, but are more likely independent.
