Brain stem toxoplasmosis complicating Hodgkin's disease.

We describe a unique case of CNS toxoplasmosis in a patient with stage IV B Hodgkin's disease. The initial neurological manifestation was Weber's syndrome. The only laboratory abnormality was moderate elevation of CSF protein level. Postmortem examination showed parenchymal toxoplasma infiltration throughout the intramedullary course of the right oculomotor nerve in the midbrain, without meningeal involvement.

Primary intracranial hypotension: the syndrome of spontaneous low cerebospinal fluid pressure with traction headache.

A case of primary Intracranial Hypotension (PIH) is described. This syndrome consists of spontaneous lowering of CSF pressure with traction headache. It is a benign disorder and is self-limited. The cause is unknown, but local choroid plexus vasospasm, possibly due to a hypothalamic disturbance, has been suggested, as has leakage of CSF through spontaneous arachnoid tears. Transient symptomatic relief was achieved with 5% CO2 inhalation, apparently due to increase in cerebral blood flow.
