BackgroundMicroRNAs (miRNA) are a class of small, endogenous (17-25 nucleotide) noncoding ribonucleic acids implicated in the transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression. This study examines stroke-specific miRNA …

We report a case of multiple embolic cerebral infarcts associated with nonbacterial thrombotic endocarditis (NBTE) in a patient with adenomyosis. The patient presented with dysarthria, left perioral sensory change, and left-hand weakness. M…

We report a case of a 48-year-old woman with multiple cerebral infarctions caused by nonbacterial thrombotic endocarditis (NBTE) because of adenomyosis with high serum carbohydrate antigen (CA)125 level. Transesophageal echocardiography (TE…

A 59-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital because of repeated episodes of bilateral hand weakness. She had a 10-year history of combined estrogen-progestin therapy for menopausal symptoms. Magnetic resonance imaging on admission show…

We report a case of cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) associated with a giant adenomyosis. At admission, the patient demonstrated generalized seizures and consciousness disturbance. Brain fluid-attenuated inversion recovery magnetic resonanc…

Previous studies have shown the possible role of mucin in cerebral infarction associated with coagulation abnormalities in patients with cancer, particularly adenocarcinoma. We report a 42-year-old woman who developed motor aphasia and cere…

Cerebral infarcts associated with hypercoagulability in malignant tumors have been well recognized. However, reports on cerebral infarcts in patients with a benign gynecologic tumor, such as adenomyosis, are extremely limited. We report the…
