Pulvinar sign in a case of anti-HU paraneoplastic encephalitis.

Pierre-Luc Gamache1, Maude-Marie Gagnon2, Martin Savard2, François Émond2.   

Abstract

This article reports the case of a 68-year-old patient with anti-HU antibodies paraneoplastic encephalitis. The clinical manifestations were atypical and the paraclinical work-up, notably the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showing bilateral posterior thalamic hyperintensities (pulvinar sign), misleadingly pointed towards a variant Creutzfeld-Jakob disease. After presenting the case, the differential diagnosis of the pulvinar sign is discussed along with other important diagnostic considerations.
