Abstract

Primary CNS lymphoma (PCNSL) and its variant primary intraocular lymphoma (PIOL) are rare forms of extranodal non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma confined to the CNS including the retina and the optical nerve; histologically, most cases are diffuse large B cell lymphomas. PCNSL in immunocompetent patients display typical radiological features on MRI, i.e. intensely and homogeneously enhancing lesions with moderate edema. Here, we report a 52-year-old male with a history of a PIOL and two consecutive intracerebral relapses who presented with dysarthria, dysphagia, and gait ataxia. Gadolinium-enhanced T1 scans were unremarkable but multiple lesions with restricted water diffusivity were seen on diffusion-weighted imaging. Relapse of his PCNSL was secured histologically only on autopsy. The possible etiology of the diffusion-restricted lesions is discussed.

Niedriger diastolischer Blutdruck erhöht Risiko für schwere kardiovaskuläre Komplikationen

25.04.2024 Hypotonie Nachrichten

Wenn unter einer medikamentösen Hochdrucktherapie der diastolische Blutdruck in den Keller geht, steigt das Risiko für schwere kardiovaskuläre Ereignisse: Darauf deutet eine Sekundäranalyse der SPRINT-Studie hin.

Frühe Alzheimertherapie lohnt sich

25.04.2024 AAN-Jahrestagung 2024 Nachrichten

Ist die Tau-Last noch gering, scheint der Vorteil von Lecanemab besonders groß zu sein. Und beginnen Erkrankte verzögert mit der Behandlung, erreichen sie nicht mehr die kognitive Leistung wie bei einem früheren Start. Darauf deuten neue Analysen der Phase-3-Studie Clarity AD.

Viel Bewegung in der Parkinsonforschung

25.04.2024 Parkinson-Krankheit Nachrichten

Neue arznei- und zellbasierte Ansätze, Frühdiagnose mit Bewegungssensoren, Rückenmarkstimulation gegen Gehblockaden – in der Parkinsonforschung tut sich einiges. Auf dem Deutschen Parkinsonkongress ging es auch viel um technische Innovationen.

Demenzkranke durch Antipsychotika vielfach gefährdet

23.04.2024 Demenz Nachrichten

Wenn Demenzkranke aufgrund von Symptomen wie Agitation oder Aggressivität mit Antipsychotika behandelt werden, sind damit offenbar noch mehr Risiken verbunden als bislang angenommen.
