  • Background/Objective

    Herpes simplex encephalitis usually has a progressive cause. Sudden neurological deficits are unusual.

    Method

    Case study.

    Results

    A 17-year-old girl presented with an acute onset focal neurological deficit followed one week later by the more classical feature of altered level of consciousness, fever and focal seizures. The diagnosis of hepetic encephalitis was made by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and by the significant increase in cerebrospinal fluid titres of antibodies against herpes simplex type I.

    Conclusion

    Herpetic encephalitis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of acute stroke in young patients even in the absence of encephalitic features, if common etiological factors such as embolization and intracerebral bleed are excluded.

  • Writer’s cramp is frequently associated with hand tremor and with other focal dystonias. Sometimes brain infarction, haemorrhage, arterio-venous malformations or tumors are found to cause symptomatic focal dystonias. A 44-year-old man came to our attention due to writer’s cramp of his right hand and postural 6-8 Hz tremor. About three months after the onset of the disease the tremor and dystonia disappeared, while a right hemiparesis gradually appeared. Cranial computed tomography showed a hypodense nonhomogeneous lesion in the left cerebral hemisphere parietally, that was assumed to represent a cystic tumor. The patient underwent craniotomy and the histological diagnosis revealed an astrocytoma (Grade II-III). In conclusion our findings confirm the common anatomical basis of symptomatic focal dystonia and tremor. Both can appear after disruption of the pathways within and adjacent to the basal ganglia.

  • The magnitude of the problems faced by Canadian society as a result of an aging population has been identified. Perhaps the most important concern related to this greying of Canada is the increasing incidence of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. Therapeutic options for these disorders have been limited to date. Advances in biotechnology and molecular biology will offer novel approaches to treatment. These and the expansion of more traditional therapeutic avenues require guidelines with the aim of optimizing their development.
