Ann Clin Transl Neurol

June 2024

Internal Medicine Department, Reference Centre for Lysosomal Diseases, Groupe Hospitalier Diaconesses Croix Saint-Simon, Paris, France.

Article Synopsis
  • Fabry disease results from a deficiency in the enzyme alpha-galactosidase A, leading to a buildup of glycosphingolipids and causing various health issues, including neurologic symptoms like neuropathic pain and strokes, with aseptic meningitis being a potential complication.
  • A study reviewed patients from 1995 to 2023, finding that 3.7% experienced aseptic meningitis, with additional data from published cases leading to a total of 29 patients analyzed, predominantly young adults.
  • The findings indicate that many of these patients were unaware they had Fabry disease before their meningitis episode, and the underlying causes of the inflammation in these cases are still not fully understood.

Management of musculoskeletal (MSK) tumours has traditionally been delivered by surgeons and medical oncologists. However, in recent years, image-guided interventional oncology (IO) has significantly impacted the clinical management of MSK tumours. With the rapid evolution of relevant technologies and the expanding range of clinical indications, it is likely that the impact of IO will significantly grow and further evolve in the near future.

In the last few decades, thermal ablation (TA) techniques have been increasingly applied to treat small localised renal cell carcinomas. Despite this trend, there is still an underuse of TA compared to surgery and a substantial lack of high-quality evidence derived from large, prospective, randomised controlled trials comparing the long-term oncologic outcomes of TA and surgery. Therefore, in this narrative review, we assess published guidelines and recent literature concerning the diagnosis and management of kidney-confined renal cell carcinoma to understand whether percutaneous image-guided TA is ready to be proposed as a first-line treatment.
