ObjectiveTo report a case of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) that presented atypical initial manifestations and highlight the importance of complementary investigation to avoid diagnosis delay.PatientsA 54-year-old female patient who presented with vertigo with positional nystagmus, nausea, and vomiting as initial CJD manifestations.InterventionNeuro-otological and brain magnetic resonance images, which showed abnormal hyperintense cortical signal in both hemispheres.Main Outcome MeasureWe reached a presumptive diagnosis of the prion disease after the first magnetic resonance imaging. Eventually, the patient presented with typical neurological findings and met the criteria for probable CJD.ResultsOur case report presents a patient with sporadic CJD who experienced dizziness as an initial manifestation and met the diagnostic criteria for probable CJD a few weeks after symptoms onset.ConclusionWe believe that this case may serve to help otolaryngologists pay better attention to cases of dizziness associated with neurological signs and highlight the importance of complementary investigation using magnetic resonance imaging and neuro-otological tests to prevent delayed or incorrect diagnosis.
Inverted papilloma is a rare sinonasal neoplasm. It can be locally invasive and potentially degenerate to a malignant tumor.We present a case report of a 36-year-old woman who was treated for nasal inverted papilloma for over 10 years and presented bilateral temporal bone, and pulmonary involvement. Several procedures were performed to completely remove the tumor. Even without evidence of malignant degeneration, the patient continued battling tumor recurrences. To the best of our knowledge, this report presents the first case of a multicentric inverted papilloma with nasal, bilateral temporal bone, and pulmonary metachronous localization.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
