Description
Summary:Hemoglobin, total and differential leucocyte counts, liver, renal, and thyroid function tests, serum and urine electrophoresis, serum antinuclear and antineutrophilic cytoplasmic antibodies, serum calcium and phosphorus, as well as serum sodium and potassium were normal. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain was unremarkable, and fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) revealed hypometabolism in bilateral temporo-parieto-occipital and right inferior frontal cortices [Figure 1]. [...]Morvan's syndrome should be considered in every patient who presents in a confusional state along with evidence of peripheral nervous system hyperexcitability.
