Published: February 1999

A 25 years old female person suffered from v. Hippel-Lindau disease with three manifestations within the central nervous system (cerebellum, nerve root C1 and Medulla oblongata). Pancreatic cysts, a cyst and a tumour of the kidney were diagnosed as well. In a first operation, the large cerebella's tumour and the small haemangioblastoma of the nerve root C1 were removed via a suboccipital craniectomy. A few weeks later, after the patient had made a good recovery, the tumour at the craniocervical junction was removed through a far lateral approach. The postoperative course was without complications. The MRI control seven months after surgery was free of tumour and the young person was in a good clinical condition, without neurological deficit.

Background: Gingival recession has a multifactorial etiology, involving various predisposing and precipitating factors. Non-carious cervical lesions (NCCLs) are often associated with gingival recession and pose challenges due to their complex pathodynamics. There is limited evidence regarding tunnel-based procedures combined with connective tissue grafts (CTGs) for treating recession-associated NCCLs.

Neuropathic pain following peripheral nerve injury results from maladaptive changes in neurons and immune cells contribution to mechanisms underlying chronic pain. Specifically, in dorsal root ganglia (DRG), sensory neuron cell bodies release extracellular vesicles (EVs) which promote pro-inflammatory macrophage accumulation that facilitates nociceptive signalling. Here, we show that macrophages shuttle EVs to neurons.

Painful diabetic neuropathy (PDN) is a challenging complication of diabetes with patients experiencing a painful and burning sensation in their extremities. Existing treatments provide limited relief without addressing the underlying mechanisms of the disease. PDN involves the gradual degeneration of nerve fibers in the skin.

A unique case report on campylobacter rectus infection leading to acute motor axonal neuropathy in a pediatric patient. Campylobacter rectus is an anaerobic bacterium found in the oral cavity. While it has been linked to periodontal disease, its association with acute motor axonal neuropathy (AMAN), a variant of Guillain-Barre Syndrome, remains unverified.

Purpose: Fibrosis of muscle spindles (sensory organs) in back muscles induced by intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration could limit transmission of muscle stretch to the sensory receptor and explain the proprioceptive deficits common in back pain. Exercise reduces back muscles fibrosis. This study investigated whether targeted muscle activation via neurostimulation reverses or resolves muscle spindle fibrosis in a model of IVD injury.
