In the clinical picture of poisoning with fish poison, the appearance of symptoms from the nervous system is preceded by general symptoms of poisoning: a feeling of illness, weakness, headache, repeated vomiting, diarrhea, pain in the joints, occurring 12-24 hours after eating toxic substances.

<p>PICROTOXIN is a bitter principle of the berries of the species Mensiperum coculus and Anamirata coculus, creepers which are indigenous to the East Indies. It was first isolated in 1812, and subsequent elementary analysis showed that it contained only carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Because of its potent poisonous nature and its physiological action, together with its high oxygen content, picrotoxin has often been referred to as an “oxygen alkaloid”. It is a central nervous system stimulant and a powerful convulsant drug. It is used in medicine as an antidote to barbiturate poisoning, being still preferred for this purpose over many other drugs. It has also been used in cases of alcoholic intoxication, and as a fish poison.</p>

Epidemiological Characteristics

Aim of work – to analyze the etiological structure, epidemiological structure, social-demographic features and the nature of the development of complications of the central nervous system in aseptic meningitis in children in Khmelnitskyi region for the period 2004-2017.Materials and methods. It was conducted a prospective analysis of 208 cases of aseptic meningitis in children of whom 138 people were boys and 70 people were girls. The etiology of the disease was determined by studying cerebrospinal fluid using PCR method. Complications of the central nervous system were diagnosed on the basis of the clinical picture and CT or MRI scans. The analytical method was used to conduct the analysis of the received data.Results. The highest seasonal increase of the incidence was from August to October and it was 65.6% with its peak in September (24.0%). The clinical picture was characterized by a moderate trend in 71.2% of cases and in 28.8% by a severe course. In 100% of cases the disease began with a fever, headache (83.6%), vomiting (76.9%), abdominal pain with diarrhea (6.2%), epileptic seizures (0.9%). The average level of cytosis was 269.4±196.7 cells/mm3with a predominance of lymphocytes and the average protein level in cerebrospinal fluid was 73 ± 36 mg/dl. The etiological factor was established in 18 (8.6%) patients.Conclusions. Enterovirus remains to be the main pathogen which was determined in 72.2% of cases. The second place was taken by herpes viruses (22.2% of cases), the third place was given to the mumps virus (5.6% of cases) (in etiologically verified cases). In most cases the disease ended in complete recovery but in 47 (22.6%) patients the complications were observed. The prevalence of aseptic meningitis among children in Khmelnitskyi region was 6.2 per 100,000 children, and males outnumbered females by a 2:1 ratio.

Abstract INTRODUCTION Central nervous system hemangioblastoma (CNS HGB) is a rare neoplasm, which predominantly arise in the posterior fossa and spinal cord. The etiology is divided into sporadic and von-Hippel Lindau (VHL) disease. The difference in clinical picture of these 2 types of HGB and differentiation of treatment have not been extensively unraveled yet. METHODS Retrospective analysis of consecutive, neurosurgically managed CNS HGB at Mayo Clinic, 1988–2018. RESULTS 117 sporadic and 67 VHL HGBs were treated by Mayo Clinic. No significant difference in sex was observed. Compared with sporadic cases, VHL cases were younger (51.8 vs 36.0 years old, p&lt;0.0001), had more frequent family history (0.0 vs 41.5 %, p&lt;0.0001), and higher frequency of germline alteration (0.0 vs 84.2 %, p&lt;0.0001). Regarding imaging findings, VHL cases had multiple lesions at presentation more frequently (3.4 vs 82.1 %, p&lt;0.0001), it was more common for sporadic lesions to contain cysts (72.2 vs 51.0 %, p=0.0004), the solid portion rate in the entire lesion was larger in VHL lesions (60.2 vs 69.5 %, p=0.02), and the volume was larger in sporadic cases (15.1 vs 6.6 cc, p&lt;0.0001). Regarding treatment, 131 and 123 surgeries were performed for sporadic and VHL cases, respectively, among which the indication of surgery was preventative in 8.4 and 47.3 %, respectively (p&lt;0.0001). VHL cases had higher number of treatments per case in the follow-up (1.3 vs 2.1, p&lt;0.0001). Recurrence-free survival of sporadic cases was significantly longer than that of VHL cases (p=0.007) and overall survival was longer in sporadic cases than VHL, but not significant (p=0.07). CONCLUSION Clinical presentation and tumor appearance on imaging are highly dependent on the etiology. Differences in clinical manifestations require further study, but may reflect contrasting tumor biology that are tied to genetic differences.

AbstractIntroduction:Paragangliomas are rare tumours arising from the paraganglia of the autonomic nervous system.Case report:We present a case of a paraganglioma arising from the hypoglossal nerve and producing an unusual clinical picture at presentation.Discussion:We supply radiological evidence of a paraganglioma originating from the hypoglossal nerve, and thus extend the evidence base for this rare site of origin. Our patient presented as an emergency with long tract neurological symptoms and progressive brainstem involvement. This presentation is not characteristic of paragangliomas in general, which usually have an indolent growth pattern and often demonstrate benign symptoms for a number of years prior to diagnosis. The location of a hypoglossal paraganglioma differs significantly from more common paragangliomas described in the neck and skull base, and this should inform the surgical approach undertaken.

ABSTRACTScrub typhus is caused by Orientia tsutsugamushi characterized by focal or disseminated vasculitis and perivasculitis which may involve the lungs, heart, liver, spleen and central nervous system. It was thought to have been eradicated from India. Recently it is being reported from many areas of India. The clinical picture and severity of the symptoms varies widely. The neurological manifestations of scrub typhus are not uncommon but are diverse. Meningoencephalitis is classical manifestation of scrub typhus but cerebellitis, cranial nerve palsies, plexopathy, transverse myelitis, neuroleptic malignant syndrome and Guillan-Barré syndrome are other manifestations reported in literature. The availability of literature on the neurological manifestations of scrub typhus is limited to case reports mainly. This article reviews various neurological manifestations of scrub typhus reported in literature.

SD Bassel (Kl. Med., 6, 1929) believes that the therapeutic success of mud cakes can be increased by the combined use of certain types of electrotherapy, which is feasible in an out-of-resort setting. Favorable results are obtained with skin scars and diseases of individual joints, as well as with forms of diseases of the spinal cord, where the meningeal-radicular symptom complex predominates in the clinical picture. Favorable results in a number of diseases of the peripheral nervous system

Abstract Context.—Pseudoneoplasms of the nervous system vary greatly in nature. Ranging from inflammatory to autoimmune, infectious, malformative, reactive, degenerative, and radiation induced, they all mimic true tumors. Thus, they have the potential to mislead clinicians, radiologists, and pathologists alike. Their clinical and/or neuroimaging and histologic features are readily misinterpreted as tumor. Knowledge of the pitfalls is essential to avoid mismanagement, specifically overtreatment. In such instances, pathologists must take the entire clinical picture into consideration, acquainting themselves with presenting symptoms, physical findings, and neuroimaging. Objective.—To present 10 examples of pseudoneoplasms of the nervous system, analyze the basis for their mimicry, and discuss their differential diagnosis. Data Sources.—Review of the pertinent literature related to pseudoneoplasms of the nervous system and review of the consultation files of one of the authors (B.W.S.). Conclusions.—The identification of tumor mimics may be difficult under the best of circumstances, and maintaining a broad differential diagnosis as well as application of a variety of immunocytochemical and occasionally ultrastructural and/or molecular genetic methods is essential to arrive at a correct diagnosis.
