Article Synopsis
  • A 2-year-old female Golden Retriever exhibited sudden non-ambulatory paraparesis after initially unremarkable examinations, prompting further investigation.
  • MRI revealed an intradural-extramedullary mass causing significant spinal cord compression, indicating a hemorrhagic process, and CSF analysis showed signs of inflammation.
  • Following surgery for decompression, the dog showed gradual improvement and regained mobility, and the diagnosis of steroid responsive meningitis-arteritis (SRMA) was supported by clinical findings and treatment response.

The authors present a case of an orbital apex venous malformation that presented with an intermittent oculomotor nerve palsy over a 15-year period. Radiologically, the lesion presented as a well-circumscribed orbital mass with T2 hyperintensity and enhancement that could only be demonstrated on 2-hour delayed phase imaging. The venous malformation was initially steroid-responsive but eventually became refractory to medical treatment alone.

Introduction: Biallelic variants in QARS1, a house-keeping gene involved in protein synthesis, cause a rare encephalopathy classically characterized by severe developmental delay, drug-resistant neonatal-onset epilepsy, microcephaly, and brain atrophy. We aim to raise awareness on mild QARS1-related phenotypes describing a 6-year-old patient.

Steroid-responsive encephalopathy associated with autoimmune thyroiditis (SREAT) is a rare condition that can present with multiple neurological and psychiatric manifestations. SREAT diagnosis poses a challenge due to the nature of its nonspecific symptomatology and its overlap with numerous autoimmune, metabolic, infectious, and neuropsychiatric disorders. It is associated with elevated anti-thyroid antibodies, occurs in correspondence with autoimmune thyroiditis, and shows great response to corticosteroid treatment.
