- RM en el diagnóstico y control evolutivo de la degeneración combinada subaguda. A propósito de un caso(Gobierno de Navarra. Departamento de Salud, 2012) Garcia-de-Eulate, R. (Reyes); Irimia, P. (Pablo); Saiz-Mendiguren, R. (R.); Garcia-Lallana, A. (Amaia); Martinez-Vila, E. (Eduardo)A deficit of vitamin B12, generally resulting from pernicious anaemia, can give rise to disorders of the spinal cord, brain, optic and peripheral nerves. The principal neurological syndrome is subacute combined degeneration of the spinal cord (SCD), which can cause progressive motor and/or sensitive alterations, instability and incontinency, due to the demyelination of the posterior horn of the spinal cord. The identification by magnetic resonance (MR) of signal hyperintensity in T2 weighted sequences at the level of the posterior horns of the spinal and/or cervical cord can be of great use in diagnosising the patient with SCD, above all when the symptoms are mild or nonspecific, and the patient does not have haematological or gastrointestinal alterations. Besides, the evolution of the altered signal of the posterior horns in MR can be of use in evaluating the efficacy of treatment, since their normalization is related to clinical improvement
- Inferior lateral genicular artery injury during anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction surgery(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2012) Lamo-Espinosa, J.M. (J. M.)We report a case of inferior lateral genicular artery (ILG) injury during anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction surgery with lateral partial meniscectomy. This is a rare arthroscopy complication. A review of the literature has been made with the aim to define the anatomy of ILG across the lateral articular line and the risk of lesion during knee arthroscopy. We propose embolization as a good treatment option for this type of injuries
- Non-O1 Vibrio cholerae inguinal skin and soft tissue infection with bullous skin lesions in a patient with a penis squamous cell carcinoma(BioMed Central, 2009) Perez-Gracia, J.L. (Jose Luis); Leiva, J. (José); Portillo, M.E. (María E.); Pozo, J.L. (José Luis) del; Aguinaga, A. (Aitziber); Garcia-Tutor, E. (Emilio); Yuste, J.R. (José Ramón)Vibrio spp. is a pathogen rarely isolated in cancer patients, and in most cases it is associated with haematological diseases. Cutaneous manifestations of this organism are even rarer. We report a case of Non-O1 Vibrio cholerae inguinal skin and soft tissue infection presenting bullous skin lesions in a young type II diabetic patient with a penis squamous cell carcinoma having a seawater exposure history.
- Spinal dural arteriovenous fistula in a patient with gait disturbances(Eurorad, 2010) Garcia-de-Eulate, R. (Reyes); Domínguez-Echávarri, P.D. (Pablo Daniel); Saiz-Mendiguren, R. (R.); Zubieta, J.L. (José L.); Garcia-Lallana, A. (Amaia); Martinez-Cuesta, A. (Antonio)
- A case of labyrinthitis diagnosed with MRI(Eurorad, 2010) Garcia-de-Eulate, R. (Reyes); Slon, P. (P.); Domínguez-Echávarri, P.D. (Pablo Daniel); Saiz-Mendiguren, R. (R.); Zubieta, J.L. (José L.); Simon-Yarza, I. (Isabel); Garcia-Lallana, A. (Amaia); Etxano, J. (J.)
- Case 33-2003: A 37-year-old man with a history of alcohol and drug abuse and sudden onset of leg weakness(Massachusetts Medical Society, 2003) Hedley-Whyte, T. (Tessa); Soto, Ó. (Óscar)
- Lesions of pemphigus vulgaris on irradiated skin(Wiley-Blackwell, 2009) España, A. (Agustín); Pretel, M. (Maider); Ruiz-Carrillo, G. (G.); Aguado, L. (Leyre); Marquina, M. (Miren)Summary Pemphigus vulgaris (PV) is an autoimmune blistering disease produced by IgG autoantibodies against desmoglein (Dsg)3. Lesions on the skin and mucosa can, in rare cases, be induced by radiotherapy. We report a patient with a history of microprolactinoma and PV, who had only oral lesions from the beginning of her illness but 2 months after treatment with radiotherapy for a breast neoplasia, developed skin lesions limited to the irradiated area. Over the following few months, she also developed autoantibodies against Dsg1
- Pruritus ani in an elderly man(Springer Verlag, 1995) España, A. (Agustín); Idoate, M.A. (Miguel Ángel); Redondo-Bellón, P. (Pedro); Quintanilla, E. (Emilio)
- Disseminated epidermolytic acanthoma probably related to trauma(Wiley-Blackwell, 1999) Sanchez-Carpintero-Abad, I. (Ignacio); España, A. (Agustín); Idoate, M.A. (Miguel Ángel)Epidermolytic acanthoma is a rare benign tumour, which may occur in both isolated and disseminated forms. Only seven cases of disseminated epidermolytic acanthoma (DEA) have been described. This entity should be distinguished from other hereditary or acquired conditions which involve epidermolytic hyperkeratosis and other benign acanthomas. On the basis of the clinical history and the histological findings, we diagnosed a case of DEA which was probably secondary to repeated trauma.
- Systemic lupus erythematosus-associated anetoderma and anti-phospholipid antibodies(Wiley-Blackwell, 2003) Lloret, P. (Pedro); España, A. (Agustín); Fernadez-Galar, M. (Marta)Anetoderma is characterized by a loss of normal elastic tissue that presents clinically as localized areas of wrinkled or flaccid skin. We describe the case of a 30-year-old woman with systemic lupus erythematosus-associated anetoderma and positive anti-phospholipid antibodies. We discuss the possible role of these antibodies in the pathogenesis of anetoderma, and, when detected, the need to check for an associated anti-phospholipid syndrome in such patients.
