Hypertrophic olivary degeneration is a rare condition caused by damage within the triangle of Guillain and Mollaret. We discuss the anatomical, radiological, and clinical history of this rare condition.
A 32-year-old lady presented with sub-acute headache, photophobia, and dizziness. She also described facial tingling and itching over her nose, and a thirty-minute episode of slurred speech. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a 12.1 × 11 × 7.3 mm lesion arising from the floor of the fourth ventricle [Figure 1]. Postoperative imaging confirmed complete resection of the tumor, but changes consistent with hypertrophic olivary degeneration [Figure 2a and b].
An awareness of this complication is of importance to all clinical neuroscience to prevent misdiagnosis with the occurrence of new symptoms.
肥大性橄榄核变性是一种由吉兰-莫拉雷三角区内损伤引起的罕见病症。我们讨论这种罕见病症的解剖学、放射学及临床病史。
一名32岁女性出现亚急性头痛、畏光和头晕症状。她还描述了鼻子周围面部有刺痛和瘙痒感,以及一次持续30分钟的言语不清发作。磁共振成像显示第四脑室底部有一个12.1×11×7.3毫米的病变[图1]。术后成像证实肿瘤已完全切除,但出现了与肥大性橄榄核变性相符的变化[图2a和b]。
所有临床神经科学领域都应认识到这种并发症,以防止出现新症状时误诊。
