Summary

We describe a case of chronic lymphocytic inflammation with pontine perivascular enhancement responsive to steroids (CLIPPERS) syndrome. Brain MRI revealed characteristic lesions, confirming this rare neurological condition.

Area of Science:

Neurology
Neuroimmunology
Radiology

Background:

CLIPPERS syndrome is a rare inflammatory neurological disorder.
It is characterized by specific brain lesions and responsiveness to steroids.

Purpose of the Study:

To present a clinical case of CLIPPERS syndrome.
To highlight the typical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings.

Main Methods:

Clinical case presentation.
Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) analysis.

Main Results:

The patient presented with symptoms consistent with CLIPPERS syndrome.
MRI scans showed characteristic pontine and perivascular enhancing lesions.

Conclusions:

This case illustrates the diagnostic features of CLIPPERS syndrome.
MRI is crucial for identifying the typical lesions associated with this steroid-responsive condition.

Keywords:

Clipper Circuit

Clipper Circuit

A clipper circuit is a fundamental wave-shaping device that harnesses the unique properties of diodes to alter and control waveform characteristics. This technology is widely used in electronic devices, especially in television and radar communication systems, where it enhances waveform modulation in both transmitters and receivers.
The operation of a clipper circuit can be exemplified by analyzing a dual-clipper configuration setup that integrates two ideal diodes, each paired with a biasing...

Clamper Circuit

Clamper Circuit

A clamper circuit, also known as a DC restorer, represents a specialized variant of the rectifier circuit, notable for its method of taking the output across the diode rather than the capacitor. This configuration lends to several distinctive applications, particularly in handling square wave inputs.
Within this circuit, the diode's orientation prompts the capacitor to charge up to the level of the most negative peak of the input signal. Upon reaching this state, the diode ceases to...

Patch Clamp

Patch Clamp

Many fundamental cell functions such as muscle contraction and nerve transmission rely on the electrical signals produced by the movement of positively and negatively charged ions across the cell membrane. One competent method to record current flowing across the whole cell or single ion channel is the patch-clamp technique.
In this method, a glass micropipette containing electrolyte solution is tightly sealed against a small portion of the cell membrane. As a result, a patch of the cell...

Clathrin Coated Vesicles

Clathrin Coated Vesicles

Clathrin-coated vesicles use endocytosis to transport receptors and lysosomal hydrolases from the Golgi to the lysosome in the late secretory pathway. Clathrin-mediated endocytosis was the first described endocytic process, and Clathrin-coated vesicles remain one of the most well-studied transport vesicles. The molecular machinery that generates clathrin-coated vesicles comprises over 50 proteins that precisely coordinate vesicle formation. Cell surface receptors concentrated in indented sites...

Clot Retraction and Fibrinolysis

Clot Retraction and Fibrinolysis

After a fibrin clot is formed, the next step is clot retraction, a vital process facilitated by platelet contractile proteins, such as actin and myosin. These proteins pull the fibrin strands closer together and condense the clot. This action reduces the size of the clot, creating a smaller, denser structure that effectively seals off the damaged vessel. Clot retraction consolidates the clot and helps with wound healing by bringing the edges of the damaged blood vessel closer together.
