Abstract

Bickerstaff's brainstem encephalitis is a monophasic, post-viral inflammatory disease characterized by ophthalmoplegia, ataxia, and disturbance of consciousness. A 4 year-old boy was admitted to hospital because of fever and verbal difficulties. Cranial magnetic resonans imaging (MRI) revealed hyperintensity in pons and mesencephalon. Patient's anti-GQlb Ab was negative, whereas anti-mycoplasma IgG and IgM Ab was positive. He was treated succesfully with prednisolone. His control MRI was normal. We present here a case of Bickerstaff encephalitis with anti-gQlb Ab caused by mycoplasma infection due to its rarity.

Özet

Bickerstaff's beyin sapı ensefaliti genellikle monofazik olan, oftalmopleji, ataksi ve bilinç değişiklikleri ile karakterize, post-viral inflamatuar bir hastalıktır. Ateş yüksekliği, konuşmada güçlük yakınmaları ile başvuran ve ensefalit ön tanısı ile yatırılan 4 yaşında erkek olgunun beyin manyetik rezonans incelemesinde pons ve mezensefalon tutulumu saptandı. Anti GQlb Ab negatif ve mycoplazma İg G ve M Ab pozitif gelen hasta prednizolon tedavisine dramatik olarak yanıt verdi, kontrol manyetik rezonans incelemesi normal olarak tespit edildi. Mycoplazma enfeksiyonunun neden olduğu, anti GQlb Ab'nın negatif olduğu bu Bickerstaff ensefaliti olgusunu, nadir görülen bir antite olduğundan sunuma değer bulunmuştur.
