Successful pregnancy and delivery in a patient with neurogenic orthostatic hypotension and achalasia: a case report.

A successful pregnancy and delivery in a patient with neurogenic orthostatic hypotension and a past medical history of achalasia is described. Surprisingly, she was free from orthostatic hypotension during the last trimester, though the evaluation of adrenergic function by measurements of changes in plasma norepinephrine on standing and by the response of blood pressure to infused norepinephrine revealed no difference between function before pregnancy and that during the last trimester. Orthostatic hypotension started again just after delivery.

Leptomeningeal signet-ring cell carcinomatosis presenting with ophthalmoplegia, areflexia and ataxia.

We report a very rare case of occult leptomeningeal carcinomatosis (LC) in whom repeated cytological examination did not show malignant cells in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and the primary focus was not discovered by extensive survey. The patient presented with ophthalmoplegia, ataxia and areflexia mimicking Miller Fisher syndrome (MFS) at the initial stage, and later, the clinical profile and laboratory findings including CSF examination simulated tuberculous meningitis. Postmortem autopsy disclosed metastatic signet-ring cell carcinoma infiltrating into cranial nerves and leptomeninges. We would like to emphasize that LC sometimes shows symptoms and signs similar to MFS or tuberculous meningitis.
