[Myasthenia gravis should be considered in cases of Parkinson's disease and progressive dysphagia].

We report on four consecutive patients with Parkinson's disease, in whom anti-acetylcholine receptor (AChR) antibody positive bulbar myasthenia gravis (MG) turned out to be responsible for progressive dysphagia.

Central nervous system involvement in adults with epidemic hemolytic uremic syndrome.

Hemolytic uremic syndrome is a multisystem disorder that is caused by infection with Shiga-toxin-producing Escherichia coli. HUS affects mainly children and is rare among adults. This retrospective case series analyzes clinical signs and MR imaging findings of 11 adult patients with HUS associated nervous system involvement during the epidemic EHEC outbreak in northern Europe with its epicenter in Hamburg in May 2011.

[Thrombosis of developmental venous anomaly and consecutive venous infarction].

Developmental venous anomalies (DVA) are congenital aberrations in the cerebral venous system reflecting failure of normal embryogenesis. They are considered the most common intracranial vascular malformation. Although they are generally regarded as benign entities, their clinical significance remains controversial--case reports do exist considering DVA to be the origin of thrombosis, cerebral ischemia, and hemorrhage.
