A 12-year-old girl presented with a 2-year history of low back pain. Spinal MRI showed a giant venous varix and a huge draining vein within the lumbosacral spinal canal. Spinal angiography revealed a giant perimedullary arteriovenous fistula (PMAVF) at L2/L3 level supplied by the right T12 and L2 and left L1 and L2 segmental arteries, which all converged into the fistula and drained into the huge draining vein (Figure 1). The fistula was successfully removed by lumbar laminotomy (Figure 2). Postoperatively

A 29-year-old man with multiple sclerosis presented with an acute psychotic episode one month after receiving rituximab. Neurologic examination showed disconjugate spontaneous abnormal eye movements, with the right eye displaying a high-frequency elliptical trajectory. Both the patient and his family confirmed that this finding was acquired. This unilateral motion was temporarily ameliorated by saccades and blinking, corroborating the hypothesis of monocular pendular nystagmus. 1 Thorough observati on
