Post-traumatic encephalopathy is characterized by the combination of upper motor neurons, basal ganglia, cerebellar, and psychiatric disturbances. A "striatal" variant, with predominant parkinsonism, is uncommon and may be difficult to distinguish from idiopathic Parkinson's disease. A 38-year-old man, who had history of head injuries associated with brief losses of consciousness, developed a resting tremor and rigidity of the left lower extremity. Upon admission, he showed masked face and bradykinesia without dementia or other neurologic abnormalities. Brain MRI and SPECT studies showed no abnormalities. A BAEP study revealed an abnormal prolongation of inter-peak latencies between wave III and V.

Wernicke encephalopathy is usually accompanied with peripheral neuropathy, known as dry beriberi. In contrast, wet beriberi presenting as cardiovascular symptoms rarely occurs. The acute type of wet beriberi can be fatal, if untreated quickly. It is reported that the cerebellar vermis has a role of the coordination and control of cardiovascular and autonomic reflex activities. We report a 58-year-old man showing acute wet beriberi in Wernicke encephalopathy with cerebellar vermis lesion.

Acute scrotal swelling is unusual in neonates and it should be treated as an emergency, especially in case with a clear urine. Only a few cases of an infected hydrocele have been previously described in the neonateal period. We report a 29-days-old newborn who presented with acute scrotal swelling that proved to be an idiopathic infected hydrocele on surgical exploration.

6.A Case of Tuberculous Radiculomyelitis Complicating Tuberculous Meningitis in Pregnant Woman.

Although tuberculous meningitis (TBM) rarely complicates pregnancy and seldom occurs in puerperal women, the prognosis for such patients has been surprisingly poor. The neurologic complications of TBM are tuberculoma, syringomyelia, epidural abscess of spinal cord, abscess of brain and internuclear opthalmoplegia. Most reports about TBM in pregnant women are describing prognosis and treatment, and have no concern with complication except hemiplegia. Tuberculous radiculomyelitis (TBRM) is a rare complication of tuberculosis in nervous system. TBRM is characterized by the subacute onset of paraparesis. Symptoms include root pain, paresthesias, bladder disturbance, and muscle wasting. MRI and CT scan are important for diagnosis. We described a 27-year-old pregnant woman, who developed TBM. Durng the treatment of TBM, she developed motor weakness of lower extremities, muscle atrophy, impairment of sensation, voiding disturbance and loss of tendon reflex. CSF evaluation showed an active inflammatory response with a high protein level. The MRI scan of spinal cord demonstrated TBRM. She showed clinical improvement with addictive steroid therapy.

8.Isaacs' Syndrome Associated With Acetylcholine Receptor Antibodies Developed After Removal of Malignant Thymoma.

Isaacs' syndrome is a rare and heterogeneous syndrome of continuous muscle fiber activity that originates from peripheral nerves. We report a 56-year-old male patient who showed symptoms of Isaacs' syndrome after the removal of a malignant thymoma. Needle electromyography revealed spontaneously occurring repetitive myokymic discharge in the affected muscles. Acetylcholine receptor (AChR) antibodies were significantly elevated, but clinical and electrophysiologic findings did not indicate the presence of myasthenia gravis. We deduce that in Isaacs' syndrome, raised AChR antibodies may facilitate rather than inhibit cholinergic action.

9.Two Cases of Methyl Bromide Intoxication Mimicking Bickerstaff's Brainstem Encephalitis.

BACKGROUND: Methyl bromide is toxic to the central and peripheral nervous systems. Two patients with occupational exposure to this agent are described. CASE: Two cases of previously healthy young men were involved. They had worked in a fumigating plant spraying fruits using methyl bromide for several months before admission. They showed general weakness, severe ataxia, bilateral dysmetria and bilateral lateral gaze limitation. And gaze-evoked nystagmus was observed in one of them. Brain MRI showed symmetrically increased signal intensity lesions including the brainstem, cerebellum and splenium of corpus callosum. After conservative treatment, they gradually improved over the next few weeks. CONCLUSIONS: Symmetry and topography of our patients??clinical and radiographic abnormalities support the proposal that methyl bromide exposure can produce symptoms similar to Bickerstaff's brainstem encephalitis.

Congenital ocular motor apraxia is a rare syndrome characterized by rotational head thrusts that attempt to compensate for the lack of voluntary eye movements. We describe the clinical, oculographic and magnetic resonance imaging features of two children with congenital ocular motor apraxia.
