Trigeminal sensory neuropathy and bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome: the initial manifestation of mixed connective tissue disease.

A patient is described who devloped a bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome and a trigeminal sensory neuropathy as the initial manifestations of mixed connective tissue disease. Either condition can occur in other connective tissue diseases, but this combination has not been reported previously in mixed connective tissue disease, in which, however, trigeminal sensory neuropathy is frequently seen.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome↗

Cerebellar astrocytoma presenting as a cerebellar hemorrhage in a child.

An acute cerebellar hemorrhage in a 14-year-old girl was found to be caused by bleeding that had occured in an occult cerebellar astrocytoma. Such symptomatic hemorrhage into tumors, whether of metastatic or primary brain origin, occurs rarely but must be considered in patients of all ages who present with atypical strokes of presumed hemorrhagic etiology.

Subarachnoid hemorrhage--the initial manifestation of bacterial endocarditis. Report of a case with negative arteriography and computed tomography.

The case of a patient who suffered a nontraumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) associated with normal angiography is reported. Three weeks later he developed an embolic stroke secondary to a nonhemolytic Staphylococcus epidermidis endocarditis of the mitral valve; thus, the SAH was the initial manifestation of bacterial endocarditis. Bacterial endocarditis should be considered a possible cause of SAH, especially in the 7% of patients with angiographically negative SAH.
