Clinical Reasoning: An Unusual Etiology of Lumbosacral Plexopathy in a Patient With HIV.
Neurology
November 2024
From the Departments of Neurology (B.M., A.J.S., N.B.K., R.S.S.), and Pathology (M.S.U.), Nizam's Institute of Medical Sciences.
Article Synopsis
- A case study describes a patient with uncontrolled diabetes who initially showed symptoms resembling diabetic lumbosacral radiculoplexus neuropathy (DLRPN), including lower limb pain, weakness, and sensory loss.
- The patient was also found to be HIV-1 positive, prompting further diagnostic testing that revealed abnormal results in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and a nerve biopsy that suggested an alternative diagnosis.
- The study emphasizes the need for thorough diagnostic evaluations in cases where atypical presentations of neuropathy occur, especially when multiple medical conditions are present.
Trans-obliquus inferior capitis course of the greater occipital nerve: A potential cause of occipital neuralgia?

Department of Anatomy, Faculty of Medicine, Khon Kaen University, Khon Kaen, Thailand.
Article Synopsis
- * A study involving 72 adult cadavers found that the GON rarely pierces the OIC, but when it does, it shows signs of chronic compression affecting nerve health.
- * This research highlights a potentially overlooked cause of occipital neuralgia, suggesting that GON entrapment by the OIC may be more common than previously thought.

[A case of post-surgical inflammatory neuropathy with lower-extremity weakness after surgery for anorectal malignant melanoma that showed the effectiveness of immunotherapy].

November 2020
Department of Neurology, University of Fukui Hospital.
Article Synopsis
- A 59-year-old man with a history of asthma and sinusitis experienced weakness and sensory loss in his lower limbs three days after undergoing surgery for malignant melanoma.
- Laboratory tests showed elevated eosinophils and immunoglobulin E levels, raising initial suspicion of eosinophilic polyangiitis granulomatosis (EGPA) as the cause of his symptoms.
- A nerve biopsy indicated lymphocyte-dominated inflammation but ruled out EGPA, leading to a diagnosis of early onset post-surgical inflammatory neuropathy (PIN), which improved significantly with treatment using prednisolone.
Epineurial Pseudocyst of the Intratemporal Facial Nerve: A Case Series Study.
J Int Adv Otol
August 2020
Department of Radiology, Sint-Lucas Hospital, Ghent, Belgium;Department of Diagnostic Sciences, Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, Ghent University, Ghent, Belgium.
Objectives: The goal of this case series was to describe the clinical and radiological characteristics of epineurial pseudocysts of the intratemporal facial nerve (EPIFs) and to discuss the relevance in clinical practice.
Materials And Methods: A retrospective case series of 10 consecutive patients with EPIFs identified through computed tomography (CT), between 2009 and 2018. Morphological characteristics, coexisting pathology, facial nerve function, and evolution over time were analyzed.
