Summary: This review examines different classification approaches for Chiari malformations and proposes a simplified scheme to differentiate between various types of tonsillar herniations. It also explores the most appropriate terminology for acquired herniation of cerebellar tonsils and other secondary Chiari-like malformations. This paper contributes to the ongoing discussion by offering insights into the evolving understanding of Chiari malformations and proposing a simplified classification and terminology system for diagnosis and management.

Summary: This case report describes a 49-year-old woman presenting with subacute dyspnea and muscle weakness, who was previously diagnosed with DM. CT revealed a 32-mm solid mass in the anterior mediastinum suspected to be thymoma. Clinical features and neurological examination confirmed thymoma-associated MG co-existing with DM. Intensive treatment for MG, including surgery, resulted in improvement in some neurological symptoms.

Summary: Quantitative MRI was used to study the extra-ocular muscles (EOM) in patients with myasthenia gravis (MG). The study found that chronic MG patients showed small increases in EOM volume and muscle fat fraction (FF), while patients with chronic progressive external ophthalmoplegia (CPEO) showed decreased volume and patients with Graves' ophthalmopathy (GO) showed increased volume. The severity of ophthalmoplegia in MG was not correlated with EOM volume, but was correlated in CPEO and oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy (OPMD).

Summary: Myotonic dystrophy is an autosomal dominant inherited disorder that primarily affects muscle function, characterized by myotonia, progressive muscle weakness and wasting, and associated systemic involvement. Recent evidence has shown an increased risk of developing both benign and malignant tumors in patients with myotonic dystrophy. This article reports the case of a 39-year-old male with myotonic dystrophy who presented with multiple cerebral cavernous malformations in addition to a pleomorphic adenoma of the parotid gland. This is the first reported case of the coexistence of myotonic dystrophy with multiple cerebral cavernous malformations.
