CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM TUBERCULOSIS

Neurologic Clinics, 1999
Involvement of the central nervous system (CNS) by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, particularly meningitis, is the most severe form of tuberculous infection. Parenchymal CNS involvement can occur in the form of tuberculoma or, more rarely, abscess. Although surgery was initially advocated as the mainstay of therapy, more recent evidence suggests that ...

CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM ANOMALIES

Clinics in Perinatology, 2000
Fetal central nervous system abnormalities encompass a variety of lesions. Most of the anomalies are seen in association with an increased incidence of fetal aneuploidy and an increase in other anomalies both within and outside of the central nervous system.

Central Nervous System Infection

Neuroimaging Clinics of North America, 2010
This article outlines a practical imaging approach to CNS infection and reviews 5 basic imaging patterns commonly seen: (1) extra-axial lesion, (2) ring-enhancing lesion, (3) temporal lobe lesion, (4) basal ganglia lesion, and (5) white matter abnormality.

Central nervous system trauma

Current Opinion in Anaesthesiology, 1987
Summary The principles of anesthetic management of the patient with central nervous system trauma are derived from the pathophysiology of the injury. Optimizing cardiorespiratory systems, fluid and electrolyte balance, temperature regulation, and renal function is essential.

Central Nervous System Vasculitis

Current Treatment Options in Neurology, 2013
A patient presenting with suspected primary central nervous system (CNS) vasculitis is often difficult to manage. Once the diagnosis is suspected, the clinical course may already be severe and warrant timely aggressive treatment with potentially toxic drugs.

Central Nervous System Leukemia

Pediatric Clinics of North America, 1988
With one exception, the risk and severity of neurotoxicity is directly proportional to the number of therapeutic modalities used. Three are worse than two, and two are worse than one. Combinations of therapeutic modalities which include CNS RT appear to be the most neurotoxic.

Central nervous system tuberculoma

Journal of Clinical Neuroscience, 2012
The aim of this study was to outline the clinicoradiological features of central nervous system (CNS) tuberculoma, and highlight the importance of early treatment. We conducted a retrospective analysis between 1999 and 2008. Clinicoradiological, pathological and follow-up data of 23 patients were reviewed and analysed.

Central Nervous System Tuberculosis

1988
Many of the symptoms, signs, and sequelae of tuberculous meningitis (TBM) are the result of an immunologically directed inflammatory reaction to the infection.1 Although a mycobacterial infection is the inciting cause of the illness, it is the resulting inflammation of the meninges—which is responsible for the damage to blood vessels, scar formation ...

Central nervous system histoplasmosis

Current Treatment Options in Neurology, 2008
Involvement of the central nervous system (CNS) is recognized clinically in 5% to 10% of patients with progressive disseminated histoplasmosis. The risk of developing CNS histoplasmosis is increased in individuals with impaired cellular immunity, but not all patients with this condition are immunocompromised.

Central Nervous System Lymphomas

Continuum, 2020
Primary central nervous system (CNS) lymphoma is a rare, aggressive extranodal non-Hodgkin lymphoma confined to the brain, eyes, CSF, or spinal cord without systemic, non-CNS involvement. This article reviews the clinical presentation, imaging characteristics, diagnostic workup, novel pathophysiologic insights, and treatment of immunocompetent patients
