An unusual cause for cerebellar syndrome – case report
Journal Title: Revista de Medicină Militară - Year 2014, Vol 0, Issue 1
Abstract
A male from rural area, S.M., aged 77 years, was admitted in our department for discontinuous headache. His medical history was irrelevant. He has been experiencing intermittent right parietal-occipital headaches during the last 3 months. Neurologic exam revealed a slight right limb ataxia. Initial laboratory findings revealed a white blood cell count of 6500/mm3 with 75% polymorphonuclear leukocytes, 15% lymphocytes and 8% monocytes. His serum glucose was 90 mg/dL. Non Gadolinium CT scan shows rounded, inhomogenous spontaneous hyperdense area (40-45 UH) between 5-12 mm diameter, localized frontal, temporal, occipital and cerebellar bilaterally. The question was whether the lesions were metastasis or parasitic infection?
