Recurrent Stroke in a Young Woman with a Single Pulmonary Arteriovenous Fistula...
Sousa, S; Vasco Costa, N; Carmona, C; Coimbra, E; Pita, FINTRODUCTION: Cryptogenic stroke is present in about 40% of ischemic stroke patients. Extracardiac shunt related to pulmonary arteriovenous fistula (PAVF) could be a rare potential risk factor for embolic stroke. Most PAVFs are multiple, congenital, and associated with hereditary conditions. On the other hand, isolated PAVFs are rare conditions and an uncommon cause of cryptogenic stoke. CASE REPORT: We describ...
Neuropathy in Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia.
Coimbra, J; Costa, A P; Pita, F; Rosado, P; de Almeida, L BThe association of a neuropathy and a paraproteinaemia such as Waldenström's macroglobulinaemia is frequent and not fortuitous. This paper reports a slowly progressive, predominantly sensory neuropathy, occurring in a 69-year-old man, as the first sign of a Waldenström's macroglobulinaemia. A saphenous [correction of sural] nerve biopsy revealed a mixed process of primary demyelination and axonal degeneration. ...
