Dysarthria - Science topic

Dysarthria are disorders of speech articulation caused by imperfect coordination of pharynx, larynx, tongue, or face muscles. This may result from CRANIAL NERVE DISEASES; NEUROMUSCULAR DISEASES; CEREBELLAR DISEASES; BASAL GANGLIA DISEASES; BRAIN STEM diseases; or diseases of the corticobulbar tracts (see PYRAMIDAL TRACTS). The cortical language centers are intact in this condition. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p489)

Question
1 answer
  • 7 Aug 2015
An elderly male,case of Hep c (genotype 1) presented with very high viral load. He was started with triple regimen of IFN, Rofosbuvir and Ribavirin. On day2, pt had severe GI intolerence, especially after taking Sofosbuvir and he has stopped the medicine. But gradually he started having severe dysarthria and headache, CT brain was showing white matter cerebral edema/post reversible encephalopathy. Presently, he is still on IFN plus Ribavirin (week 4), but his neurological symptoms are still there, although GI symptoms are much better. An MRI brain was advised, possibly will get report by tomorrow.....Now, what may be the cause of his neurological symptoms????

Answer
Depends on the IFN used. It's rare with the new pegylated forms but was rather frequent (estimated about at least 15%) with the older ones.
I had the occasion to observe a case with toxic edema due to IFN alone, if you have doubts on the MRI scan, you might wish consult the Neuroimage.
