Shrinking lung syndrome mimicking diaphragmatic palsy in systemic lupus erythematosus
Pract Neurol. 2024 Feb 29:pn-2023-003989. doi: 10.1136/pn-2023-003989. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTA 25-year-old woman presented with 1 year of progressive orthopnoea, initially explained as bilateral diaphragmatic paresis caused by seronegative myasthenia gravis. She required assisted ventilation and received pyridostigmine and corticosteroids. She had minimal (particularly proximal) symmetrical tetraparesis with apparent bilateral diaphragmatic weakness, but had normal sensation. Further investigation suggested an overlap myositis with shrinking lung syndrome from systemic lupus erythematosus. She improved following im...

Encephalitis associated with anti-mGluR5 antibodies
Pract Neurol. 2024 Feb 29:pn-2024-004089. doi: 10.1136/pn-2024-004089. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTA 30-year-old woman had 5 days of visual hallucinations, nystagmus, memory impairment and mutism. On examination, she was disorientated with reduced attention span, gaze-evoked nystagmus, paratonia and abnormal frontal reflexes. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) showed 80 cells, protein 0.41 g/L and glucose 3.2 mmol/L (plasma glucose 5.0 mmol/L). MR scan of the brain showed involvement of limbic and extra-limbic regions and brainstem. Commercial cell-based assays were negative, but tissue-based assays showed neuropil staining, and ...
