Nitish Agarwal, Shashank S Kale, Kalpana KumariNeurology India 2019 67(5):1334-1340 Tumor-induced osteomalacia (TIO) is a rare paraneoplastic syndrome of certain mesenchymal tumors which secrete fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF-23) responsible for causing features of hypophosphatemia and osteomalacia in these patients. Most of them involve the appendicular skeleton and occasionally the craniofacial regions. Involvement of spine is exceedingly rare. Through this paper, the authors present a rare...

Kanwaljeet Garg, Ravi Sharma, Chinmaya Dash, Deepak Agrawal, Bhawani S SharmaNeurology India 2019 67(5):1352-1357 Dorsolumbar intradural extramedullary ependymoma is a rare entity. Spinal metastases in patients with intracranial ependymoma are well described, but it is extremely rare for a spinal ependymoma to metastasize to brain. We describe a case of aggressive dorsolumbar intradural extramedullary ependymoma mimicking arachnoid cyst radiologically, which developed intracranial metastasis.

Apart from psychotropic substances, alcohol and nicotine remain the common addictive materials responsible for the majority of deaths. Conventional conservative therapies are beneficial to certain populations, but the majority may require interventional treatments such as deep brain stimulation (DBS) in view of increasing mortality from drug abuse in recent years.
