RESUMO
Palinacousis is a rare auditory phenomenon characterized by the persistence of sounds beyond their actual duration. It has been associated with various brain conditions such as stroke, tumor, and seizure in the temporoparietal lobe. We present a case report of a 43-yearold man who developed palinacousis following cerebral venous thrombosis and seizure with lesions including the left auditory cortex. This case highlights the intriguing relationship between cerebral venous infarction, seizure, and the development of palinacousis in specific brain regions.
RESUMO
Anti-3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase (anti-HMGCR) antibody related immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy (IMNM) are usually associated with statin use. The disease has features of persistent muscle weakness and creatine kinase (CK) elevation after statin discontinuation. This report describes a 65-year-old female taking atorvastatin, presenting with both proximal lower extremity weakness. IMNM feature were detected on muscle biopsy and high anti-HMGCR autoantibody titer on enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). This patient was treated with corticosteroid. Muscle weakness and CK are improved after immunosuppressive therapy.
