Recurrent unilateral facial nerve palsy in acute lymphocytic leukaemia.
A man in his mid-20s developed three episodes of right facial weakness over 5 months. He had a history of B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) in remission following allogenic stem cell transplantation. MR scan of brain during the second presentation showed facial nerve enhancement; cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) cytology and flow cytometry were negative. Re-assessment at the third presentation identified CSF B-lymphoblasts, and he was subsequently treated for central nervous system relapse of leukaemia. This case highlights an infrequent presenting symptom of ALL relapse and a rare cause of recurrent facial nerve palsy.
期刊介绍:
The essential point of Practical Neurology is that it is practical in the sense of being useful for everyone who sees neurological patients and who wants to keep up to date, and safe, in managing them. In other words this is a journal for jobbing neurologists - which most of us are for at least part of our time - who plough through the tension headaches and funny turns week in and week out. Primary research literature potentially relevant to routine clinical practice is far too much for any neurologist to read, let alone understand, critically appraise and assimilate. Therefore, if research is to influence clinical practice appropriately and quickly it has to be digested and provided to neurologists in an informative and convenient way.
