Singh; D. KishoreDopa-responsive dystonias are rare. We report a 14-year-old male who was diagnosed as a case of limb girdle dystrophy and had features suggestive of dopa-responsive dystonia.PublicationArticle Polyneuropathy with osteosclerotic myeloma - POEMS syndrome(2004) P. Kumar; Archana Verma; D. Kishore; L.D. Parhi; D. Joshi; S. MisraA 55-years-old male, who presented with insidious onset gradually progressive sensorimotor polyneuropathy, POEMS-syndrome was diagnosed based on polyneuropathy, splenomegaly, hypothyroidism, the presence of IgG-monoclonal serum protein with osteosclerotic lesions and hyperpigmention of skin. Biopsy of the osteosclerotic lesion from the right superior pubic rami was consistent with plasmocytoma. Electrophysiological studies revealed demyelinating sensorimotor neuropathy and biopsy from sural nerve showed demyelinating neuropathy with secondary axonopathy. The patient showed improvement with radiotherapy. This is a rare systemic disease from the clinical spectrum of plasma cell dyscrasias with polyneuropathy. The importance of POEMS syndrome in the differential diagnosis of polyneuropathies has been emphasized. © JAPI 2004.PublicationArticle Short course of oral prednisolone on disappearance of lesion and seizure recurrence in patients of solitary cysticercal granuloma with single small enhancing CT lesion: An open label randomized prospective study(2007) D. Kishore; S. MisraObjective : To evaluate the effect of a short course of oral prednisolone on disappearance of lesion and seizure recurrence in newly diagnosed patients with single small enhancing CT lesion. Methods : In this open-label, randomized, prospective follow-up study, 100 patients of new-onset seizures and a cysticercus granuloma presenting as single enhancing computed tomography detected lesion were randomly divided in two groups to receive either antiepileptic monotherapy (Group A) or antiepileptic drugs with oral prednisolone in a dose of 1 mg/kg body weight for 7 days and tapering off dose in next 3 days (Group B). Repeat CT scan was performed on 8th-12th week to know radiological state of lesion. The patients were followed up for 1 year for seizure recurrence. Results : The majority of patients were in second decade. Male : female ratio 1.56:1. Mean number of seizure episodes was 4.33 ± 3.50 in group A and 4.23 ± 3.97 in group B. Partial seizure were the most common presentation (85%). 72% patients presented with single seizure or seizure in cluster. Solitary ring lesion was the commonest (69%) CT finding, most of them were located in parietal lobe (52%). Follow up CT scan showed complete resolution of lesion in 60.86% of total [group A (n=47), 32 patients, 68.08%; group B (n=45), 24 patients, 53.33%]. Significant difference in group A and B regarding lesion resolution was observed (?2=5.926, d.f. = 1) p<0.05. Clinical follow up showed seizure recurrence in group A - 5 patients (10.63%), in group B - 12 patients (26.66%). Statistically significant higher number of seizure recurrences were noted in group B as compared to group A (?2=3.93, d.f. = 1) p<0.05. Conclusions : Short term oral prednisolone along with antiepileptic drugs helps in rapid resolution of single small enhancing lesions in patient with newly diagnosed seizure disorder with good clinical outcome. © JAPI 2007.PublicationArticle Spinal tuberculosis.(2002) D.
