OBJECTIVE: Intravascular large B-cell lymphoma (IVLBCL) is a rare and aggressive lymphoma that can have heterogeneous central nervous system involvement and cerebrovascular complications. The development of IVLBCL can be fatal. Although relatively rare, the development of specific clinical syndromes, such as IVLBCL, has been implicated following infection and vaccination. To our knowledge, this is the first comprehensive neuropsychological evaluation assessing neurocognitive and psychological status after IVLBCL diagnosis. METHODS: The current study presents a right-handed mid-60-year-old male with a university-level education, who was diagnosed with IVLBCL following viral vector SARS-CoV-2 vaccination. He presented with a complex medical history including antiphospholipid syndrome, deafness (prior to cochlear implant), and cardiovascular complications secondary to lymphoma. Brain magnetic resonance imaging showed parietal, frontal, and cerebellar infarcts; encephalomalacia; and periventricular deep chronic ischemic changes. A comprehensive neuropsychological evaluation was completed. RESULTS: In consideration of an individual with an estimated above-average baseline, his neurocognitive profile demonstrated impairments across multiple domains that were more lateralized to the non-dominant hemisphere including visual attention, visual processing speed, visuo-construction, memory, motor dexterity, and right-sided ataxia (e.g., dysmetria). Clinical elevations for depression, hopelessness, and anxiety were also found. CONCLUSIONS: The current study highlights a novel cognitive profile of IVLBCL and comorbidities with the patient having more predominant nondominant hemispheric-related deficits. There was evidence of disruption to visual processing networks, largely consistent with neuroimaging lesions. The current case also describes the unique experience of an individual coping with a rare condition, especially when resulting in functional decline (e.g., loss of audition). Implications are discussed.
目的:血管内大B细胞淋巴瘤(IVLBCL)是一种罕见且侵袭性强的淋巴瘤,可累及中枢神经系统且表现多样,并伴有脑血管并发症。IVLBCL的进展可能是致命的。尽管相对罕见,但感染和接种疫苗后已出现特定临床综合征(如IVLBCL)。据我们所知,这是首次对IVLBCL诊断后的神经认知和心理状态进行全面的神经心理学评估。 方法:本研究报告了一名60岁左右的右利手男性,受过大学教育,在接种新冠病毒载体疫苗后被诊断为IVLBCL。他有复杂的病史,包括抗磷脂综合征、耳聋(人工耳蜗植入术前)以及淋巴瘤继发的心血管并发症。脑部磁共振成像显示顶叶、额叶和小脑梗死;脑软化;以及脑室周围深部慢性缺血性改变。完成了全面的神经心理学评估。 结果:考虑到该个体基线估计高于平均水平,其神经认知概况显示多个领域存在损伤,且更多地偏向于非优势半球,包括视觉注意力、视觉处理速度、视觉构建、记忆、运动灵活性和右侧共济失调(如辨距不良)。还发现抑郁、绝望和焦虑的临床指标升高。 结论:本研究突出了IVLBCL的一种新的认知概况及其合并症,患者主要存在与非优势半球相关的缺陷。有证据表明视觉处理网络受到破坏,这在很大程度上与神经影像学病变一致。本病例还描述了一个人应对罕见疾病的独特经历,尤其是当导致功能下降(如听力丧失)时。讨论了相关影响。
