Cerebellar Mutism Syndrome in a Patient With Hypertensive Urgency and Ischemia: A Case Report.
Cureus
December 2024
Department of Neurology, St. Joseph Medical Center, Stockton, USA.
Cerebellar mutism syndrome (also known as posterior fossa syndrome) has been mostly seen in pediatric patients after surgery for neoplastic disease and is characterized by mutism, with variable symptoms such as emotional lability, ataxia, apraxia, and hypotonia. While the mechanism is not precisely defined, it is thought to result from disconnections between the cortical and cerebellar brain networks. Presentation in adult patients is rare, with various etiologies including posterior fossa ischemia, hemorrhage, and tumors being most reported.

Department of Cardiovascular Medicine, Graduate School of Medical Sciences, Kyushu University.
Article Synopsis
- An 18-year-old man with refractory cardiogenic shock from dilated cardiomyopathy was treated at the hospital through a paracorporeal left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation.
- Post-surgery, he experienced loss of consciousness and was diagnosed with propionic acidemia after further evaluations revealed metabolic issues and brain imaging findings.
- Following treatment for both his heart failure and propionic acidemia, his neurological and cardiac functions improved, leading to the successful removal of the LVAD; this case highlights the rare association between propionic acidemia and dilated cardiomyopathy in adults.
Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura in a patient with adult-onset Still's disease: report of a rare entity.

Hematology/Oncology, Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center Shreveport, Shreveport, Louisiana, USA.
Adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD) is a rare, systemic inflammatory disorder characterised by daily fever, arthritis, a salmon-pink rash and leucocytosis. Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is included in the class of thrombotic microangiopathies and manifests clinically as microangiopathic haemolytic anaemia (MAHA), thrombocytopenia and ischaemic tissue injury secondary to microthrombi. TTP is caused by either an autoimmune, congenital or idiopathic deficiency of ADAMTS13 and carries a high mortality rate.
