patient referred to the Division of Neurology of Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre presenting with spinal cord compression
symptoms for two months. The diagnosis of spinal tuberculosis was rapidly done by a computerized tomography guided
biopsy. The patient was submitted to abscess surgical draining and complementary RHZ treatment. with recovery of neurological
symptoms. This case illustrates that even patients with severe neurological deficits due to spinal tuberculosis may
have a good outcome with the appropriate treatment.

MSmetrix (icometrix) is an easy-to-use platform, specific for MS magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain. It provides data on total brain volume, grey matter volume and lesion load volume. The objective of the present study was to assess whether disability and the number of relapses during the previous year correlated with brain volume measurements from MSmetrix. Data on 185 icometrix reports from patients with MS were used to evaluate the potential correlation between brain volume measurements and clinical parameters. There was a significant correlation between higher disability and decreased brain volume (total and grey matter). Increased lesion load in the brain and higher number of relapses in the previous year were also independently correlated with decreased brain tissue volume and with increased disability. This is the first study with real-world data to show that icometrix is a relevant tool for the study of brain volume loss in MS.

This rare disorder is an obstructive vasculopathy of unknown origin, characterized by vascular lesions of the skin, central nervous system (CNS) and ...
