Cutaneous sarcoidosis complicated by hydrocephalus due to neurosarcoidosis
Neurosarcoidosis is a relatively rare manifestation of sarcoidosis. Complication by hydrocephalus is even rarer and can be life threatening. While cutaneous sarcoidosis is considered relatively common by dermatologists, a combination of cutaneous sarcoidosis and hydrocephalus is extremely rare and there are only scattered case reports published to date. Moreover, cutaneous sarcoidosis having two different types (plaque and subcutaneous types) associated with hydrocephalus is very uncommon. A 56-year-old Japanese male presented with hard subcutaneous nodules of the buttocks.

The Utility of Neuroimaging Parameters in Discriminating Patients of Normal-Pressure Hydrocephalus with Positive Cerebrospinal Fluid Tap Test Response from Healthy Controls
Conclusion: The results of our study support the use of neuroimaging parameters as an alternative method for CSF tap test. We suggest that in the presence of narrow high convexity sulci and/or narrowing of callosal angle, the decision of shunt surgery may be made in patients with suspicion of NPH, without performing CSF tap test. Confirmation of these results, in the future, large-scale studies may certainly provide critical perspectives to be used in the clinical practice.

Normal-pressure hydrocephalus: A rare cause of reversible dementia
Normal-pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) is characterized by the clinical triad of dementia, gait instability, and urinary incontinence. The estimated annual incidence is 1.8 cases in 100,000 persons, making NPH a rare diagnosis and uncommon cause of dementia. NPH is a form of communicating hydrocephalus that can easily be missed in older adults with multiple comorbidities, so clinicians must exclude reversible causes of dementia before diagnosing irreversible causes such as Alzheimer disease.

Practice guideline: Idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus: Response to shunting and predictors of response: Report of the Guideline Development, Dissemination, and Implementation Subcommittee of the American Academy of Neurology
Conclusions: Shunting is possibly effective in iNPH (96% chance subjective improvement, 83% chance improvement on timed walk test at 6 months) (3 Class III). Serious adverse event risk was 11% (1 Class III). Predictors of success included elevated Ro (1 Class I, multiple Class II), impaired cerebral blood flow reactivity to acetazolamide (by SPECT) (1 Class I), and positive response to either external lumbar drainage (1 Class III) or repeated lumbar punctures. Age may not be a prognostic factor (1 Class II). Data are insufficient to judge efficacy of radionuclide cisternography or aqueductal flow measurement by MRI. Recom...

Unusual idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus patient with marked asymmetric and upper body parkinsonism
We report an unusual INPH patient with marked asymmetric and upper body parkinsonism. An 83-year-old man presented with gait impairment and asymmetric clumsiness of movement. According to the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS), the motor subscore was 12 in the left limb and 8 in the right. The score was 14 for both the upper and lower body. After the cerebrospinal fluid tap test (CSFTT), he showed marked improvement in the upper body score. A loss of asymmetry of parkinsonian signs, with greater improvement in the left limb, was presented. Fluorinated N-3-fluoropropyl-2β-carbomethoxy-3&...

Increased plasmin-mediated proteolysis of L1CAM in a mouse model of idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus Neuroscience
Idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) is a common neurological disorder that is characterized by enlarged cerebral ventricles, gait difficulty, incontinence, and dementia. iNPH usually develops after the sixth decade of life in previously asymptomatic individuals. We recently reported that loss-of-function deletions in CWH43 lead to the development of iNPH in...

The overlap in neuroimaging findings between idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus and progressive supranuclear palsy
Conclusions: We found that the neuroimaging features of iNPH and PSP highly overlapped between these patient groups. These results may provide indirect evidence regarding the coexistence of PSP and iNPH pathophysiology that has been deliberated in several recent reports.

Varadi Papp syndrome, an unusual variant of oral-facial-digital syndrome: Report of a rare case
Soumya Patra, Radheshyam Purkait, Tryambak Samanta, Ramchandra BhadraAnnals of Indian Academy of Neurology 2013 16(2):289-291Varadi Papp syndrome or oral-facial-digital syndrome type VI (OFDS VI) is a rare autosomal-recessive disorder distinguished from other OFDSs by metacarpal abnormalities with central polydactyly and by cerebellar abnormalities. Our patient had a broad forehead, arched eyebrows, left-sided squint, hypertelorism, epicanthic folds, fleshy nodular tongue, midline upper lip cleft, high arched palate, both pre-axial and post-axial polydactyly of limbs, hypotonia and cerebellar hypoplasia with molar tooth si...

Cecal perforation: A rare complication of a ventriculoperitoneal shunt
Hydrocephalus can be the result of an infection, obstruction, impaired reabsorption of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), or an abnormal increase in CSF. Ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunting is the gold standard treatment for hydrocephalus despite its high rate of complications, including catheter obstruction and infection. Spontaneous cecal perforation by a VP shunt is extremely rare. Headache or subtle change in personality may indicate a VP shunt infection. Early recognition of the infection is critical for optimal patient outcomes.

Dr. Rollas: a humble and persistent man.
Abstract Dr. Zinnur Rollas is the founder of the Department of Neurosurgery at the Gulhane Military Medical Academy (GMMA). He was educated in the United States and returned to Turkey in order to practice neurosurgery. He is also the first surgeon who performed pediatric neurosurgical procedures at GMMA. Dr. Rollas operated on many pediatric cases of meningocele, myelomeningocele, encephalocele, hydrocephalus and trauma. He not only performed the surgeries but also took the pictures and recorded the data of the patients. Unfortunately, he did not publish any of these cases. In this paper, we tried to document his ...

Cerebral tubercular thrombophlebitis presenting as venous infarct: Magnetic resonance imaging and pathologic correlation
We present imaging and pathological features of two autopsy proven cases of tuberculous thrombophlebitis with venous infarcts involving superficial venous system in one and deep venous system in the other. This is the first study presenting radiopathologic correlation of this rare complication. Tuberculous thrombophlebitis should be suspected if basal exudates and multiple white matter T2 hyperintensities are seen on neuroimaging and the imaging protocol should include both magnetic resonance arteriogram and venogram.
