This paper is a single-patient case report describing medial prefrontal syndrome in a person who is a carrier of coup de sabre scleroderma, focusing on the clinical presentation and associated neurobehavioral findings. The authors report this syndrome in the context of a rare craniofacial scleroderma variant, using a detailed narrative rather than a study design with comparison groups. A key limitation is that, as a case report, it cannot establish causality or generalizability beyond the individual described. This paper does not explicitly discuss endometriosis or adenomyosis; it was included in the corpus via a keyword match in the upstream search index.

Abstract

Introduction: Linear scleroderma en coup de sabre is a subtype of scleroderma hallmarked by cutaneous and extracutaneous manifestations in which neurological symptoms can be a predominant feature of this condition. Case presentation: We report a case of a previously healthy 47-year-old male who developed neuropsychiatric symptoms and right-sided cephalalgia for two months. Clinical examination revealed a right frontoparietal cutaneous lesion and neurological findings suggesting a medial prefrontal syndrome. The neuroimaging evaluation identified scalp and bone thinning adjacent to the skin lesion and cortical-subcortical white matter hyperintensity due to vasogenic oedema at the right frontal and parietal region. A biopsy from the affected area revealed reactive gliosis. Conclusion: To our knowledge, this is the first linear scleroderma en coup de sabre report associated with a neurological involvement typical of a medial prefrontal syndrome. This case highlights the importance of clinical acuity in recognising atypical phenotypes within the spectrum of this uncommon disease.

F1000Research 2023, 12 :1254 ( https://doi.org/10.12688/f1000research.141188.1 ) First published: 02 Oct 2023, 12 :1254 ( https://doi.org/10.12688/f1000research.141188.1 ) Latest published: 02 Oct 2023, 12 :1254 ( https://doi.org/10.12688/f1000research.141188.1 ) Introduction Scleroderma is an immune-mediated and chronic connective tissue disease typified by a pathogenic triad encompassing vasculopathy due to endothelial dysfunction, dysregulation of innate and adaptive immunity, and progressive tissue fibrosis affecting the skin and multiple internal organs. 1 This entity has traditionally been classified into systemic and localised forms. 2 Systemic scleroderma, or systemic sclerosis (SS), can manifest at any age, mainly in adults. Like most autoimmune disorders, prevalence is higher in females. 3 The SS epidemiological behaviour is notably variable due to its rarity, the broad clinical symptoms spectrum, the changing diagnostic criteria, and evolving classifications. These features complicate a comparative analysis plausibility across studies and an accurate prevalence trends estimation. 4 In this vein, a recent meta-analysis encompassing 82 studies 5 revealed that 83.9% of the world's countries had not reported systemic scleroderma epidemiological data. This study projected a global incidence of 8.64 affected individuals per 100,000 persons annually (range: 1.78 to 23.57). The prevalence was calculated as 18.87 per 100,000 (range: 1.55–25.28), approximating 1.47 million (range: 0.12–1.97 million) affected individuals globally. Incidence and prevalence were higher in females, adults, and high-income countries. 5 Localised scleroderma (LS), or morphea, is delineated by skin lesions and involvement of underlying tissues (e.g., fascia, subcutaneous cellular tissue). Based on the extent and depth of fibrotic changes, LS is classified into limited, generalised, deep, mixed, and linear subtypes. 6 LS incidence ranges from 0.3 to 3 per 100,000 individuals/year, affecting children and adults equally. 7 Although it is primarily seen as a skin-limited disease, certain subtypes exhibit extracutaneous manifestations, including musculoskeletal (myositis, fasciitis, arthritis), central nervous system (headache, migraine, seizures, epilepsy), and ocular (uveitis) involvements. 8 LS encompasses forms leading to progressive facial hemiatrophy (Parry-Romberg Syndrome) and those affecting facial and cranial regions without facial hemiatrophy (linear scleroderma en coup de sabre, LSCS), the latter initially described by Addison in 1854. 6 In this sense, band-like sclerotic lesions located on the face and usually extended to the head, skin atrophy groove formation, underlying tissue changes, localised alopecia, and occasional changes in skin pigmentation are the typical presentation of LSCS. Though rare, neurological involvement has been described as epileptic seizures, cephalalgia, focal neurological deficits, and neuropsychiatric symptoms. 9 Given the rarity of LSCS and the uncommon coexistence of neurological manifestations beyond epileptic seizures, we detail a case of LSCS associated with clinical neurological features compatible with a medial prefrontal syndrome. Case presentation A 47-year-old professional truck driver, right-handed Hispanic male consulted our neurology department because of a 2-month history of behavioural changes. As reported by his spouse, these changes included apathy, anhedonia, abulia, decreased sociability, reduced spontaneous speech progressing towards mutism, irritability, and emotional lability. In addition, the patient refers to a right-pulsatile hemicranial headache with moderate intensity. There was no significant personal or familial past medical history. Initial physical examination revealed a sclerotic, depressed band with skin atrophy and alopecia extending from the forehead to the right parietal region. After inquiring with family members, this lesion progressed for over two years ( Figure 1 ). Neurological examination demonstrated spatial disorientation, reduced spontaneous speech, decreased spontaneous motor activity, and reduced task-directed behaviours. Dysphoria was evident, but there were no speech or mnesic function disturbances. On the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) scale, he scored 15/30, indicating impairments in executive function, cognitive flexibility, and mathematical reasoning. Cranial nerve examination, motor evaluation, sensory assessment, coordination, and gait were all within normal limits. The rest of the physical examination was unremarkable. Figure 1. Fibrotic, firm, and depressed band extending from the right superciliary arch to 4 cm above the hairline, covered by smooth and shiny nacreous-colored skin, associated with an alopecia band in the affected area. Laboratory tests showed elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR): 24 mm/h (reference range: 0.0–15.0 mm/h), raised C-reactive protein (CRP): 32.50 mg/l (reference range: 0.00–10.00 mg/l), and decreased vitamin B12 levels: 140.8 pg/ml (reference range: 174.0–878.0 pg/ml). Blood analysis, kidney and liver function, ionogram, glucose levels, coagulation tests, veneral disease research laboratory (VDRL), ELISA HIV, tumor markers (prostate antigen, CA 19-9, alpha-fetoprotein, carcinoembryonic antigen), vitamin B1, folic acid, and autoimmune profile (anti-nuclear antibodies (ANA), anti-double stranded DNA antibodies (Anti-dsDNA), anti–Sjögren's-syndrome-related antigen A antibodies (AntiRo/SSA), anti–Sjögren's-syndrome-related antigen B antibodies (AntiLA/SSB), anti-Smith antibodies (Anti-SM), anti-ribonucleoprotein antibodies (Anti-RNP), antiphospholipid IgG and IgM, serum complement C3, C4, lupus russell viper anticoagulant venom test) were all within normal ranges. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) macroscopic analysis showed a clear, transparent pH of 8 liquid. The cellular count was 0.003 cells/ul (leukocytes: 0–2 xc, erythrocytes: 0–3 xc), with 20% in polymorphonuclear cells, 80% in mononuclear cells and no bacteria observed at the microscope observation. CSF chemical analysis exhibited a glucose concentration of 74 mg/dl, 21.5 mg/dl proteins, and negative results for India ink and gram stains. Moreover, potassium hydroxide (KOH) test and culture stains showed no evidence of microorganisms. Non-contrast and contrast-enhanced brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed right frontal epicranial tissues and diploë thinning, a subcortical and deep white matter increased T2 signal, suggestive of vasogenic edema at the right cingulate gyrus, superior frontal gyrus, supramarginal gyrus and superior temporal gyrus. Underlying the high T2 area of vasogenic edema, there was a focal lesion which exhibited a low signal on the echo gradient sequence due to calcification at the right superior frontal gyrus with slight gadolinium lesional enhancement ( Figure 2 ). Figure 2. (A) Axial section of a brain magnetic resonance imaging in fluid attenuated inversion recovery sequence showing an area of high T2 relative to the brain parenchyma, located in the right frontal and parietal regions due to vasogenic edema. An eccentric hypointensity is evident, corresponding to the lesion area. (B) Vasogenic edema is observed with a central hypointense lesion adjacent to the temporal horn of the right lateral ventricle. (C) The lesion shows low signal in the Gradient Echo sequence and (D) homogeneous enhancement in the T1-weighted sequence following gadolinium administration. The patient was hospitalised for further evaluation. General measures were implemented, including gastroprotection, thromboprophylaxis, and analgesia for the headache, and he was started on antiepileptic medication Valproic Acid 500 mg every 8 hours for seizure prevention and Sertraline 50 mg daily for mood management. Given the non-specific findings on MRI and the differential diagnosis considering a neoplastic lesion, it was decided to further the diagnostic workup with an electroencephalogram, spectroscopy analysis and scheduled for a stereotactic biopsy. Lesions spectroscopy of the described revealed no elevated choline peaks and preserved n-acetyl-aspartate levels. On the eighth day of admission, the patient underwent a stereotactic biopsy. Post-procedure, the patient was transferred to an intermediate care unit for neurological monitoring and initiated on corticosteroid therapy with Dexamethasone 4 mg IV every 8 hours. A follow-up non-contrast MRI of the brain, taken 24 hours post-surgery, showed minimal bleeding at the biopsy site and no evidence of vasogenic oedema progression compared to the initial neuroimaging assessment. Clinical examination remains unchanged from the evaluation at admission. Lesional stereotactic biopsy showed normal-looking neurons, reactive gliosis areas, acute and chronic inflammatory infiltrates, and no evidence of microorganisms, granulomas, or malignancy at cerebral parenchyma. Immunohistochemical markers showed positivity for glial fibrillary protein (GFAP) and S-100 in the reactive astrocytes. On the eleventh day post-admission, the patient experienced a sudden episode of retrosternal pain, dyspnea, desaturation, hypotension, and bradycardia, culminating in cardiac arrest. Despite immediately initiating basic and advanced cardiopulmonary resuscitation measures, the patient could not be resuscitated and was pronounced deceased. Discussion LS, or morphea, is a rare immunoinflammatory disorder of the connective tissue affecting both adults and children, 2 with a clear sex predominance in women with a 2–4:1 ratio. 7 LS incidence ranges between 0.3 and 3 cases per 100,000 individuals annually, 4 and although it occurs across all ethnicities, the White population exhibits the highest prevalence, followed by Latin American and other Hispanic-related groups. 7 LSCS, also known as frontoparietal linear morphea or en coup de sabre scleroderma , is a rare variant of LS affecting the skin and bone in the frontoparietal region. 10 LSCS is a very rare condition; most of the scientific literature indicates that it only accounts for 2–4% of linear scleroderma cases in adults, contrasting to the fourth-fold increase in LSCS prevalence in children with 3–17%. 11 Based on an extensive and systematic literature review in Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed and Google Scholar, fewer than 100 case reports have been published on adult-onset LSCS, 12 – 14 with only one case reported in Colombia. 15 In Table 1 and Table 2 , we present the case reports, cases series, and systematics reviews of patients with neurological manifestations identified during our literature search. Indeed, after this extensive search, we did not identify any studies specifically detailing the mediofrontal syndrome as a neuropsychiatric manifestation of neurological involvement in LSCS; thus, to our knowledge, this is the first report related to this association. In this regard, the accumulation of descriptive evidence from clinical case reports has enlightened previously considered an atypical manifestation, nervous system involvement in scleroderma is now increasingly recognised. Headache and seizures are the most frequently reported neurological manifestations in LSCS. 16 Table 1. Case reports of neurologic manifestations in patients with linear scleroderma en coup de sabre.

The underlying pathophysiology of linear scleroderma remains only partially understood. It is believed to involve various factors, including genetics, environmental influences (such as trauma and infections), and disruptions in the immune system, primarily characterised by increased cytokine production. Based on current evidence, the pathophysiological process of morphea can be divided into three distinct phases: 1. early inflammatory, 2. sclerotic/fibrotic, and 3. late atrophic. 34 In LSCS, both clinical and histopathological findings suggest a complex interaction between the vasculature and the immune system. Like SS, CD4 T lymphocytes appear to be associated with the fibrotic changes in these lesions. Initially, TH1 and TH17 inflammatory pathways predominate and later, fibrotic changes are believed to arise due to a shift in these inflammatory pathways, with a TH2 response dominance. 35 Eventually, atrophy occurs, characterised by epidermal thickness, blood vessels, and inflammatory cell loss. 34 LSCS typically presents as a solitary, linear, fibrous plaque that affects the skin and muscle, depressing the underlying bone and resembling the strike of a sabre – hence its name. 10 Many authors consider extracutaneous manifestations of localised scleroderma extremely rare, with only approximately 20% of patients developing them. Among these manifestations, arthritis, uveitis, and epileptic seizures are predominantly observed, with neurological manifestations being the most frequent among them. 22 Our patient exhibited atypical features and manifestations. One was a medial frontal syndrome as an initial clinical feature. According to the systematic review published by Amaral et al., 16 the most common neurological manifestations in linear scleroderma are epileptic seizures, affecting 41% of patients, followed by headaches in 18.8%. Only 1–3% exhibited cognitive decline and behavioural changes. Additionally, another uncommon feature of our patient was his male gender. In the report by Taniguchi et al., 36 out of 16 cases of LSCS, only three were male, and none exhibited neurological manifestations. Among the 13 females, only five presented neurological manifestations, including headaches and abnormal findings in the electroencephalogram, akin to the observations reported by Amaral et al. 16 None displayed behavioural or cognitive alterations. Regarding complementary studies, abnormal neuroimaging findings exist in approximately 84% of patients. In a case report and literature review by Kister et al. , only 11% of patients had normal brain MRIs. The remainder exhibited at least one T2 hyperintense lesion, primarily in the subcortical white matter and the corpus callosum , basal ganglia, and brainstem. These lesions were ipsilateral to the skin lesion in 88% of the patients. The predominance of these ipsilateral lesions to the skin manifestation suggests a potential pathogenic correlation between cerebral damage and the dermatological lesion, though the exact mechanism remains a topic of debate and investigation. 22 On the other hand, it is relevant to consider that while a significant proportion of patients may exhibit abnormal brain MRI, not all of them experience overt clinical symptoms. This phenomenon underscores the need for regular neurological and radiological monitoring, allowing for early patient intervention in those who might develop complications. Some of these findings were identified during our patient evaluation, notably in subcortical and deep white matter hyperintensities ipsilateral to the skin lesion. Regarding treatment, management guidelines recommend systemic therapy for localised scleroderma. Methotrexate, either as monotherapy or combined with corticosteroids, is suggested as a first-line treatment. 37 , 38 Additionally, positive outcomes with mycophenolate and tocilizumab have been reported in other publications. 39 Our patient received corticosteroid treatment consistent with descriptions in other case reports and as recommended in clinical practice guidelines. However, we could not monitor the treatment response and clinical progress due to the patient's demise from a non-neurological complication. Nevertheless, the follow-up imaging did not reveal the progression of the lesions noted in subsequent MRI scans. Case report consent Written informed consent for publication of their clinical details and clinical images was obtained from the patient's relative.

Continue reading READ ALL This care report attempts to add to the literature in providing description of a novel CNS manifestation of craniofacial scleroderma. The authors present a single adult male with significant behavioral alterations, who is concurrently noted to have skin lesions consistent with craniofacial subset of localized scleroderma ( encoup de sabre phenotype). Cognitive, laboratory, and imaging investigations identify significant cognitive difficulties and a markedly abnormal brain MRI. Although the patient unexpectedly expired in the hospital, the authors note that this was likely unrelated to his initial presentation. Unfortunately, multiple portions of the case presentation lack sufficient detail to directly conclude that the reported symptoms were related to the purported diagnosis. In addition, there are multiple content issues that undermine confidence in the report and should be further addressed by the authors. Case History and Details Elevated inflammatory markers are very uncommon in localized scleroderma, so clarification on why present in this patient, as well as additional laboratory trends would be appreciated. Vitamin B12 level was noted to be low, but unclear why this was not addressed in the discussion. Authors note EEG was obtained, but no report of results is provided; this needs to be addressed Lab results refer to “lupus russell anticoagulant venom test”; this terminology is incorrect and should be either “dilute Russell viper venom time” or “Russell viper venom time”. Background and Discussion Authors assert that “medial frontal syndrome was initial clinical feature”, though they report that his lesion had been present for at least two years in the case presentation. In the discussion, reference 4 is cited as a source for localized scleroderma incidence but that reference refers to systemic sclerosis incidence. Extracutaneous manifestations occurring with incidence of 20% is not particularly rare. Directly connecting the patient’s cognitive symptoms with the lesions is difficult, as the patient did not survive long enough for treatment response measurements. Exploration of localization of lesions in context of the patient’s symptoms would have strengthened this assertion given the global deficits reported in the context of relative focal lesions. Additional discussion of neuroimaging findings in other patients to contextualize this patient’s findings would also be helpful for readers to understand significance of results. Use of reference 22 source from brain MRI abnormality frequency in Discussion is inappropriate; that study was only examining patients with symptomatic lesions. Studies with unselected cohorts would be more appropriate. In those, symptomatic lesions are uncommon (<10%) and are likely more reflective of general epidemiologic data. In table 1, reference 17 is counted twice in “Seizure”. Reference 26 is counted twice in “Cranial Nerve Involvement”. This needs to be addressed or corrected. In table 2, reference 33 is a systematic review of 137 cases AND a case series of 3 new cases, so unclear why not included in Table 1. This needs to be addressed or corrected. In table 2, reference 16 includes in its systematic review cases lists in Table (ie. references 22 and 23). This is misleading to the reader who will think that a greater number of unique cases exist in the literature than are actually present. Is the background of the case’s history and progression described in sufficient detail? Partly Are enough details provided of any physical examination and diagnostic tests, treatment given and outcomes? Partly Is sufficient discussion included of the importance of the findings and their relevance to future understanding of disease processes, diagnosis or treatment? Partly Is the case presented with sufficient detail to be useful for other practitioners? Partly Competing Interests: No competing interests were disclosed.

Continue reading READ ALL The authors present a case with clinical features of linear scleroderma (LS) presenting with behavioral symptoms that can be seen with a medial prefrontal syndrome. However, the presentation as described does not contain details or test results that would have confirmed an association of his LS and his psychiatric manifestations. While a connection is conceivable, in this case it is circumstantial. Re. Sufficient detail in history/exam/testing: Changes associated with scleroderma are often insidious and develop over a long time - just like the scar - and therefore a 2-month history of behavioral changes should be clarified. Was the behavior change never noted or was it just worse in the last 2-months before he presented, or did he have seizures (focal seizures arising from the right frontal or temporal region which do not need to have motor features) related to the lesions which changed his behavior more abruptly, possibly as a postictal effect? It was not mentioned how much alcohol the patient consumed and whether there was a h/o alcoholism (esp in light of the low vit B12 level). Thyroid function tests are not listed, though thyroid disorders would be a much more common reason for behavioral changes. Furthermore, a psychiatric assessment is not mentioned to determine whether there may have been a psychiatric component, such as depression. Regarding the MRI, I doubt that there is vasogenic edema as there is no compression of the adjacent sulci or ventricle and no response to treatment with steroids. Typically, there is not much or any edema in brain lesions associated with LS, rather gliosis (however, vasogenic edema would be expected for a neoplastic process). Lastly, and importantly, there was no functional test mentioned that looked at the impact of the lesion in the right frontal lobe (e.g. EEG showing right frontal slowing or PET showing metabolic abnormalities in that area), therefore I believe the authors cannot assume or maintain that the the lesion which is relatively small and the behavior are connected. Re. sufficient discussion of findings: I believe the patient has LS, but I think the authors have not not proven a causal relationship of behavior and the right frontal lesion by missing crucial historical findings, lab results and tests. At this point it is an association of features that may or may not be related which does not justify the claim that this is the first case of LS with a medial prefrontal syndrome. I do not think that the Table 2 is valid unless the authors take care to sort out which cases are repeated in each of the systematic reviews and case series - as especially the systematic reviews accumulate the same cases from the literature. As far as I can tell the authors haven't done this, yet. Table 1 is also not valid as it stands because it lists and counts the same case twice under "Seizure" (17) and another case twice under "Cranial nerve involvement" (26) - this may be an oversight or warrants explanation. Re. sufficient detail for other practitioners: I think the case and the pictures of scalp and MRI could be used for a discussion of LS with intracranial involvement, as well as a general discussion of neurological findings in these cases. Is the background of the case’s history and progression described in sufficient detail? Partly Are enough details provided of any physical examination and diagnostic tests, treatment given and outcomes? Partly Is sufficient discussion included of the importance of the findings and their relevance to future understanding of disease processes, diagnosis or treatment? Partly Is the case presented with sufficient detail to be useful for other practitioners? Partly Competing Interests: No competing interests were disclosed. Reviewer Expertise: Neurology, epilepsy, publication on Parry-Romberg syndrome I confirm that I have read this submission and believe that I have an appropriate level of expertise to state that I do not consider it to be of an acceptable scientific standard, for reasons outlined above.

Studies with unselected cohorts would be more appropriate. In those, symptomatic lesions are uncommon (<10%) and are likely more reflective of general epidemiologic data. In table 1, reference 17 is counted twice in “Seizure”. Reference 26 is counted twice in “Cranial Nerve Involvement”. This needs to be addressed or corrected. In table 2, reference 33 is a systematic review of 137 cases AND a case series of 3 new cases, so unclear why not included in Table 1. This needs to be addressed or corrected. In table 2, reference 16 includes in its systematic review cases lists in Table (ie. references 22 and 23). This is misleading to the reader who will think that a greater number of unique cases exist in the literature than are actually present. Is the background of the case’s history and progression described in sufficient detail? Partly Are enough details provided of any physical examination and diagnostic tests, treatment given and outcomes? Partly Is sufficient discussion included of the importance of the findings and their relevance to future understanding of disease processes, diagnosis or treatment? Partly Is the case presented with sufficient detail to be useful for other practitioners? Partly Competing Interests No competing interests were disclosed.

Not approved Fundamental flaws in the paper seriously undermine the findings and conclusions The authors present a case with clinical features of linear scleroderma (LS) presenting with behavioral symptoms that can be seen with a medial prefrontal syndrome. However, the presentation as described does not contain details or test results that would have confirmed an association of his LS and his psychiatric manifestations. While a connection is conceivable, in this case it is circumstantial. Re. Sufficient detail in history/exam/testing: Changes associated with scleroderma are often insidious and develop over a long time - just like the scar - and therefore a 2-month history of behavioral changes should be clarified. Was the behavior change never noted or was it just worse in the last 2-months before he presented, or did he have seizures (focal seizures arising from the right frontal or temporal region which do not need to have motor features) related to the lesions which changed his behavior more abruptly, possibly as a postictal effect? It was not mentioned how much alcohol the patient consumed and whether there was a h/o alcoholism (esp in light of the low vit B12 level). Thyroid function tests are not listed, though thyroid disorders would be a much more common reason for behavioral changes. Furthermore, a psychiatric assessment is not mentioned to determine whether there may have been a psychiatric component, such as depression. Regarding the MRI, I doubt that there is vasogenic edema as there is no compression of the adjacent sulci or ventricle and no response to treatment with steroids. Typically, there is not much or any edema in brain lesions associated with LS, rather gliosis (however, vasogenic edema would be expected for a neoplastic process). Lastly, and importantly, there was no functional test mentioned that looked at the impact of the lesion in the right frontal lobe (e.g. EEG showing right frontal slowing or PET showing metabolic abnormalities in that area), therefore I believe the authors cannot assume or maintain that the the lesion which is relatively small and the behavior are connected. Re. sufficient discussion of findings: I believe the patient has LS, but I think the authors have not not proven a causal relationship of behavior and the right frontal lesion by missing crucial historical findings, lab results and tests. At this point it is an association of features that may or may not be related which does not justify the claim that this is the first case of LS with a medial prefrontal syndrome. I do not think that the Table 2 is valid unless the authors take care to sort out which cases are repeated in each of the systematic reviews and case series - as especially the systematic reviews accumulate the same cases from the literature. As far as I can tell the authors haven't done this, yet. Table 1 is also not valid as it stands because it lists and counts the same case twice under "Seizure" (17) and another case twice under "Cranial nerve involvement" (26) - this may be an oversight or warrants explanation. Re. sufficient detail for other practitioners: I think the case and the pictures of scalp and MRI could be used for a discussion of LS with intracranial involvement, as well as a general discussion of neurological findings in these cases. Is the background of the case’s history and progression described in sufficient detail? Partly Are enough details provided of any physical examination and diagnostic tests, treatment given and outcomes? Partly Is sufficient discussion included of the importance of the findings and their relevance to future understanding of disease processes, diagnosis or treatment? Partly Is the case presented with sufficient detail to be useful for other practitioners? Partly Competing Interests No competing interests were disclosed.
