  • A 64-year-old man with treated hypertension presented with acute left arm and leg weakness. A brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and neck magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) were performed. There was restricted diffusion in the right internal capsule posterior limb consistent with an acute lacunar infarct. The MRA demonstrated aplastic bilateral cervical vertebral arteries (V1 and V2 segments). bilaterally, a variant artery arose from the external carotid just above its origin, extended superiorly then medially, and forming the vertebral artery (V3 and V4 segments). bilaterally, the occipital artery arose from the variant artery at the juncture where it turned medially. The right variant artery terminated intracranially in the right posterior inferior cerebellar artery. The left variant artery continued intracranially to supply the basilar. The appearance was consistent with bilateral persistent proatlantal intersegmental arteries (PPIA) type II.

  • Objective:

    To determine whether different health care systems may affect reproductive decision-making among patients with Multiple Sclerosis (MS), we describe the reproductive practices and attitudes of Canadian MS patients ascertained from the multidisciplinary MS Clinic at Hôpital Notre-Dame in Montreal, Quebec (NDMSC), in comparison to those of matched American selfregistrants from the database of the North American Research Committee on Multiple Sclerosis (NARCOMS).

    Methods:

    A total of 665 self-administered questionnaires on reproductive practices were sent out to eligible attendees attending the NDMSC. The short questionnaires were completed and returned to the authors in an anonymous format for analysis.

    Results:

    A total of 459 completed questionnaires were returned. The majority of NDMSC respondents (72.5%) and NARCOMS subset (75.2% females), did not encounter a pregnancy following diagnosis of MS. The most common MS-related reason for this decision was “symptoms interfering with parenting” (75.0% for the NDMSC, 72.6% for the NARCOMS). The most commonly reported non-MS-related reason was “a completed family” by the time of diagnosis in both the NDMSC and NARCOMS subset (58.0%, 40.4%, respectively). Concerns about financial issues both related and unrelated to MS were also commonly reported by males and females in both cohorts but significantly more so among the NARCOMS participants.

    Conclusion:

    These results indicate that reproductive decisions of MS patients are highly affected by their illness and its associated disability, regardless of the available health care program. Health care providers should discuss their patients' reproductive needs and perceptions to help them make more informed decisions.

  • Muscular dystrophies can show clinical and muscle biopsy features that mimic or overlap the changes seen in a primary myositis, particularly in the early stages of disease or when the clinical onset is abrupt. We present a child who was eventually diagnosed with limb girdle muscular dystrophy type 2I (LGMD2i). she presented with mild hip-girdle weakness and post-infectious myalgia. although her clinical symptoms favoured a muscular dystrophy, her muscle biopsy showed inflammatory infiltrates within muscle fibres and around blood vessels that were more typical of juvenile polymyositis. additional immunocytochemical antibody tests and genetic sequencing were key to obtaining an accurate diagnosis and avoiding immunosuppressant therapy.
