Foix-Alajouanine syndrome mimicking a spinal cord tumor

Summary Subacute necrotizing myelopathy (SNM) or Foix-Alajouanine syndrome is a rare disease characterized by progressive neurological dysfunction caused by a spinal dural arteriovenous fistula (AVF). Radiological diagnosis is usually suspected when there is intramedullary nonspecific enhancement and per...

Intramedullary Spinal Capillary Hemangioma: Case Report

Arq. bras. neurocir; 36 (2), 2017
Capillary hemangiomas involving the neuraxis are very uncommon. In the spinal cord, they are located mainly intradural and extramedullary. To our knowledge, only four cases in conus medullaris have been previously described. In our case, a 46-year-old man was admitted with back pain, sphincter disturbanc...

Exogenous neuregulin-1 attenuates STZ-induced diabetic peripheral neuropathic pain in rats

Acta cir. bras; 32 (1), 2017
Abstract Purpose: To investigate whether modulating NRG1 could attenuate diabetic neuropathic pain and analyze the underlying mechanism. Methods: Male SD rats were randomly divided into control group, diabetic group, NRG1 intervention group. After STZ-induced 2 weeks, NRG1 intervention daily for consec...

N-acetylcysteine downregulates phosphorylated p-38 expression but does not reverse the increased superoxide anion levels in the spinal cord of rats with neuropathic pain

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 50 (2), 2017
We determined the effect of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) on the expression of the phosphorylated p38 (p-p38) protein and superoxide anion generation (SAG), two important players in the processing of neuropathic pain, in the lumbosacral spinal cord of rats with chronic constriction injury (CCI)-induced neuropat...

Conus medullaris position in an adult population: analysis of magnetic resonance imaging

Int. j. morphol; 34 (4), 2016
The objective of this study was to evaluate the variation in position of the conus medullaris (CM) in male and female patients without spinal deformity, to correlate the termination level in magnetic resonance (MR) images of the lumbar spine. 921 patients consisted of 607 men and 314 women were evaluated...

Expression and distribution of kinin B2 receptor in medulla and spinal cord tissues of Rats treated with capsaicin

Int. j. morphol; 34 (4), 2016
Kinins are vasoactive peptides that promote pain and inflammation, yet centrally believed to participate to cardiovascular defensive reflexes produced by noxious stimuli. These peptides signal through the activation of two transmembrane G-protein-coupled receptors named B1 and B2 receptors (B1R and B2R)....
