High Level

Ethylene glycol, methanol, and diethylene glycol are readily available in many household and commercially available products. While these alcohols are relatively nontoxic themselves, their acidic metabolites are toxic and can result in significant morbidity and mortality. Herein we report a lethal case of massive ethylene glycol ingestion in a suicide with a record high level (1254 mg/dL) and images of the histologic examination of the kidneys revealing impressive calcium oxalate crystal deposition. Autopsy findings also showed evidence of mild cerebral edema.

The Central Nervous System

Placement of ventricular reservoirs is a common practice to treat various tumors of the central nervous system (CNS). Ventricular catheter-reservoir-associated edema has been noted in the literature, but a thorough review of this literature identified no articles that examine this particular complication in neurooncology patients, specifically. We report two cases of ventricular catheter-reservoir-associated edema in patients receiving treatment for CNS metastasis.

Abstract Female patient, 44 years old, admitted with symptoms of COVID-19. She presented elevation of cardiac troponin I, as well as diffuse hypokinesia in transthoracic echocardiography, which suggested the diagnosis of myocarditis. Next, a skull tomography showed diffuse cerebral edema and tonsilar herniation, and the patient evolved with brain death

We report a case of a middle aged lady who presented with alteration of consciousness and dysphasia. She was found to have hyponatremia which was corrected rapidly. After initial improvement, she subsequently developed marked deterioration of conscious level with upper motor sign signs in all four limbs. Osmotic demyelination syndrome was diagnosed by MRI. Severe hyponatremia carries a risk of cerebral edema with a significant mortality, but correcting it too rapidly can result in even more disastrous condition- osmotic demyelination syndrome. doi: 10.3329/taj.v21i2.3800   TAJ 2008; 21(2): 170-173
