Abstract:
A 36-year-old man who was at follow-up for histiocytosis had sudden-onset symptoms of unilateral ophthalmic increased pressure. The patient was referred to the FDG PET/CT for determination of involvement with suspicion of Erdheim-Chester disease. The reduction of the FDG uptake in all of the lesions (medial temporal lobes, nasal septum, medulla spinalis in sacral region, as well as perinephritic infiltrations), which were determined by the first PET/CT, was achieved at second imaging.

Smooth endoplasmic reticulum or smooth ER is a sub-organelle with specialized functions in animal cells and plant cells. It is often associated with the tubule morphology of the endoplasmic reticulum.
The ER provides optimal conditions for synthesizing steroid hormones and lipids, such as phospholipids and triglycerides. Traditionally, lipid metabolism was considered to be a smooth ER function. However, there is no direct evidence to prove that rough ER is completely excluded from lipid...

The autonomic nervous system (ANS) is an intricate network of nerves that controls functions such as the regulation of heart rate, digestion, and blood pressure regulation. When this system malfunctions, it can lead to various disorders that affect multiple bodily functions. One common feature of many autonomic disorders is the involvement of smooth blood vessels, which play a crucial role in regulating blood flow throughout the body.
