Iodine-induced hyperthyroidism as combination of different etiologies: an overlooked entity in the elderly.
We report the case of an elderly man who was diagnosed with tachyfibrillation secondary to hyperthyroidism. Thyroid hyperfunction was subsequently related both to previous amiodarone therapy (probably mixed form) and the recent use of iodinated contrast medium for computed tomography scan. Thyroid ultrasonography showed a plongeant multinodular goitre. After initial worsening, thyroid function improved slowly but progressively on high-dose thyreostatic therapy combined with steroid therapy; tachyfibrillation caused heart failure and a thrombus in the left atrium, and proved initially resistant to combined antiarrhythmic tr...

Extra- and Intracranial Cerebral Vasculitis in Giant Cell Arteritis: An Observational Study
Abstract: Recognizing giant cell arteritis (GCA) in patients with stroke may be challenging. We aimed to highlight the clinical spectrum and long-term follow-up of GCA-specific cerebrovascular accidents. Medical charts of all patients followed in a French Department of Internal Medicine for GCA between January 2008 and January 2014 were retrospectively reviewed. Patients with cerebrovascular accidents at GCA diagnosis were included. Diagnosis of GCA was based on American College of Rheumatology criteria. Transient ischemic attacks and stroke resulting from an atherosclerotic or cardioembolic mechanism were excluded. Clinic...

Probable bilateral posterior cerebral artery dissection
We present the clinical features of this highly unusual case and discuss the radiological findings. In the absence of another identified cause and given the proximity to tentorium, we presume the cause is bilateral PCA dissection.

Venous thromboembolism in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia
Abstract Venous thromboembolism (VTE) occurs in 0.95–36 % of children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia almost exclusively during chemotherapy. It is most commonly associated with concurrent l-asparaginase and steroid therapy, central venous line use, and inherited thrombophilia. Clinical manifestations regarding the location of VTE include central nervous system thrombosis (sinus venous thrombosis, cerebral infarct/stroke), upper-/lower-limb deep venous thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, and right atrial/intracardiac and superficial venous thrombosis and can be both symptomatic and asymptomatic. The majority of ...

Successful Treatment of Cerebral Venous Thrombosis Associated with Ulcerative Colitis
Thromboembolic complications, such as deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, are well described in patients with inflammatory bowel disease, but cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) is a rare but potentially devastating complication. The authors describe the case of a 36-year-old Japanese man presenting with CVT associated with ulcerative colitis (UC) that was successfully treated with a combination of continuous anticoagulant and pulse steroid therapy. Our observations suggest that aggressive therapy for inducing acute UC remission is vitally important for CVT associated with UC.

Contralateral Recurrence of Carotidynia during Steroid Therapy
A 44-year-old woman presented with contralateral recurrence of carotidynia during steroid therapy at 1 month after onset. Carotidynia can present with a multiphasic clinical course and can affect the neck bilaterally. Therefore, patients with carotidynia should be observed even after remission.
