We present the case of a middle-aged Caucasian patient, who presented with fever and headache within a few hours of starting cetuximab therapy and was diagnosed with cetuximab-induced aseptic meningitis after a complete workup. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Saddle Nose

  She gradually developed neurosensory hearing loss, vertigo, and saddle nose while glucocorticosteroid therapy and combined cyclophosphamide could not control her headache. Ultimately, cyclosporin A was tried showing a good response. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Severe Clinical Course

  While the clinical course is usually benign, complications such as encephalitic involvement resulting in a more severe clinical course may occur. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Acroparesthesia

  Neurological symptoms in Fabry disease mainly include stroke, acroparesthesia, cranial nerve palsies and autonomic dysfunction. We report on aseptic meningitis in Fabry patients. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Altered Mental Status

  A 49-year-old man presented with episodes of altered mental status. He had two surgeries for a recurrent suprasellar arachnoid cyst. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
