EBV ‐associated CNS infection in an immunocompetent adult: A case report and literature review
Key Clinical MessageEBV infections rarely cause CNS involvement. For young adult patients with suspected CNS infection, bacterial and other common viral infections should be excluded first and treated empirically until proven otherwise. Challenges in diagnosing EBV-associated CNS infection, emphasizing the role of CSF PCR in confirming the diagnosis. (Source: Clinical Case Reports)

Renal cell carcinoma with multiple bone metastases effectively treated by a combination of tyrosine kinase inhibitor, robot ‐assisted partial nephrectomy, and metastasectomy
We report a case of mRCC with bone metastasis that was successfully treated using a multidisciplinary approach. Here, we present a case of a 56-year-old man with left renal cancer and large and painful bone metastases at the 11th thoracic vertebrae (Th11). Therefore, a metastasectomy of Th11 was performed. Systemic treatment with TKI, robot-assisted partial nephrectomy, and metastasectomy were then administered. No recurrence was observed in>2 years. Long-term disease-free survival with the TKI-era multidisciplinary approach in a patient with mRCC remains significant when considering treatment sequences, especially n...

Relapsed isolated CNS lymphoma treated with radiotherapy and intrathecal methotrexate followed by high ‐dose intravenous methotrexate, rituximab, and temozolomide: A case report
Key Clinical MessageOptimized treatments for relapsed isolated CNS lymphoma (RI-SCNSL) remains under investigation. Temozolomide combination-based therapy, which is often used in glioblastoma may be used as potential treatment in RI-SCNSL.AbstractOne of the most common types of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) is diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Despite advances in treatment, relapsed isolated CNS lymphoma (RI-SCNSL) from DLBCL remains an issue. The optimal approach in RI-SCNSL remains an area of active investigation as currently there is no high level of evidence for the treatments due to lack of randomized studies. In th...

Treatment of sexual dysfunction induced by hyperprolactinemia accompanied by reduced luteinizing hormone levels: A case report
In this study, we aimed to present the case of a 35-year-old male patient with sexual dysfunction. The treatment process and physical and laboratory examination results were recorded. Before treatment, the PRL and LH levels in this patient were 31.27 ng/mL and 1.62 mIU/mL, respectively. The International Index of Erectile Function-5 (IIEF-5) score was initially 14 points. After regular treatment with low doses of bromocriptine and tadalafil, the hormonal disorder was corrected (PRL: 11.16 ng/mL and LH: 2.28 mIU/mL) and sexual function w as recovered (IIEF-5: 23 points). This case report suggested a sufficient expo...

Infected charcot spine
Key Clinical MessagePatients with an infected charcot spine (ICS) may experience little or no back pain despite severe vertebral destruction. Understanding the pathophysiology underlying ICS and its differential diagnoses is crucial for its accurate diagnosis. Worsening symptoms of chronic charcot spine should raise suspicions of an infection. (Source: Clinical Case Reports)

However, if the drug has been discontinued but muscle weakness continues to worsen, immune-mediated myopathy should be taken into consideration. (Source: Clinical Case Reports)
