- From juvenile parkinsonism to encephalitis lethargica, a new phenotype of post-streptococcal disorders: case report.Publication . Beleza, P; Soares-Fernandes, J; Jordão, MJ; Almeida, FWe report the case of a 16-year-old boy presented with a mild akinetic-rigid parkinsonism shortly after a post-streptococcal infection. After stopping corticoids, he had a rapid neurological deterioration to a fatal encephalitis lethargica-like syndrome. Serum analysis demonstrated consistently elevated anti-streptolysin-O. This case illustrates a new severe phenotype in the spectrum of the post-streptococcal disorders. This etiology should be considered in the differential diagnosis of a movement disorder with a rapid detrimental evolution.
- Giant cell glioblastoma: review of the literature and illustrated casePublication . Valle-Folgueral, JM; Mascarenhas, L; Costa, JA; Vieira, F; Soares-Fernandes, J; Beleza, P; Alegria, CGiant cell glioblastoma is an infrequent variety of glioblastoma (5% of the cases). It has deserved a separate category in the World Health Organization classification of grade IV tumors. The clinical, imaging, histological and immunohistochemical characteristics, and the genetic alterations are reviewed. Treatment and prognosis are discussed and updated. The case of a patient that survived 19 months and died of spinal leptomeningeal metastases is illustrated.
- Hypertrophic olivary degeneration and cerebrovascular disease: movement in a triangle.Publication . Santos, AF; Rocha, S; Varanda, S; Pinho, J; Rodrigues, M; Ramalho Fontes, J; Soares-Fernandes, J; Ferreira, CHypertrophic olivary degeneration is a rare kind of trans-synaptic degeneration that occurs after lesions of the dentatorubro-olivary pathway. The lesions, commonly unilateral, may result from hemorrhage due to vascular malformation, trauma, surgical intervention or hypertension, tumor, or ischemia. Bilateral cases are extremely rare. This condition is classically associated with development of palatal tremor, but clinical manifestations can include other involuntary movements. We describe 2 cases: unilateral hypertrophic olivary degeneration in a 60-year-old man with contralateral athetosis and neurologic worsening developing several years after a pontine hemorrhage and bilateral hypertrophic olivary degeneration in a 77-year-old woman with development of palatal tremor, probably secondary to pontine ischemic lesions (small vessel disease).
