[Ischemic stroke at a young age on the context of chronic myeloleukosis]. / Ishemicheskii insul't v molodom vozraste na fone khronicheskogo mieloleikoza.

The article describes the clinical search for diagnosis and treatment of a patient who developed a severe ischemic stroke at a young age, when specifying the cause of which chronic myeloleucosis was identified. The unavailability of patient compliance and non-compliance with the recommended examination at the outpatient stage led to the development of severe complications. It would seem that the diagnosis of chronic myeloid leukemia, which does not represent excessive complexity, with the development of an acute condition in a young patient, such as an ischemic stroke, results in a complex diagnostic search, complicated by developing comorbidities due to general decompensation of the body.

[Stiff-person syndrome: a clinical observation]. / Sindrom rigidnogo cheloveka: osobennosti klinicheskogo techeniia.

Stiff-person syndrome (SPS) is a rare chronic neurological disease characterized by progressing muscle rigidity and painful muscle spasms. The signs of SPS are pain and stiffness in spinal, abdominal and cervical muscles, increased muscle tonus in extensor muscles of extremities, constant stiffness of paravertebral and abdominal muscles and muscle spasms. A clinical case of a SPS patient T., aged 23 years, is presented. The peculiarity of this case is additional left-sided peripheral upper extremity monoparesis, which is most likely associated with the development of left-sided compression-ischemic brachial plexopathy resulted from profound muscular tonic syndrome in the neck and shoulder girdles.
