He was diagnosed with POEMS syndrome based on positive serum M-protein, elevated serum VEGF, and splenomegaly. MRI showed multiple cerebral infarcts in the watershed area, and MRA showed complete vascular occlusion of the right internal carotid artery and severe vascular stenosis of the left common carotid artery, suggesting hemodynamic cerebral infarction. He was referred to our department and treated with three courses of Daratumumab-Bortezomib-Dexamethasone (DBd) therapy. After normalization of VEGF was confirmed, right superficial temporal artery-middle cerebral bypass surgery was performed. He has been kept in good condition with improved muscle strength and walking ability, and normalized VEGF level under the maintenance Daratumumab-Lenalidomide-Dexamethasone (DLd) therapy. Because POEMS syndrome-associated vasculopathy can develop even in the very early stage of the disease, intensive evaluation of craniocervical vessels before treatment initiation is very important for treatment selection and risk assessment.","PeriodicalId":39292,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Neurology","volume":" ","pages":"511-515"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144369324","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Since October of X-1, she had been suffering from lower back and occipital pain. Despite undergoing medical evaluations at multiple hospitals, no discernible abnormalities were identified. As her symptoms worsened, she presented to our department in January of X, reporting severe pain in the left occipital to posterior neck that increased with both neck flexion and extension. A neurological examination revealed a left-sided deviation of the tongue (left hypoglossal nerve paralysis). A head MRI revealed signal abnormalities in the left occipital condyle and multiple nodules with contrast effects in the brain parenchyma. A computed tomography (CT) scan revealed a mass in the left lung, multiple intrahepatic masses, and bone destruction in the spine and left occipital condyle. In light of these findings, a diagnosis of lung cancer with metastasis to multiple organs and occipital condyle syndrome due to metastasis to the left occipital condyle was suspected. Subsequent cytological analysis of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and liver biopsy substantiated the diagnosis of adenocaricinoma. The subsequent administration of osimertinib, an epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor, led to a reduction in the size of the tumor, as well as improvements in the hypoglossal nerve palsy and occipital pain. It is imperative to note that occipital condyle syndrome signifies the metastasis of a malignancy to the base of the skull, necessitating meticulous observation and management.","PeriodicalId":39292,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Neurology","volume":" ","pages":"531-535"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144369328","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Only 744 responses were returned, less than 10% of the total number of members contacted. More than half answered that they generally provide treatment for adult patients with a childhood-onset disease, with many noting as reasons that the related diseases and ages in such cases are targeted by neurology specialists, and that other adult medical departments are not equipped to treat them. As for reasons given for not treating such patients, lack of knowledge related to developmental disorders, lack of support system, and difficulties with communication were noted. There were no noticeable differences in the responses of providing treatment for adult patients with a childhood-onset disease in association with the affiliated regional association or branch. These results indicate that resolution of issues related to neurologist unfamiliarity with pediatric neurological disorders and lack of relevant information are important issues to be addressed for establishment of a smooth medical care transition.","PeriodicalId":39292,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Neurology","volume":" ","pages":"503-510"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144369327","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
