warning

"Treatment is complex, but often involves prednisolone and chemotherapy ⁴. However this treatment is not effective in improving the diabetes insipidus or neurodegenerative symptoms ^1,7,8. Hence, many patients additionally require desmopressin for diabetes insipidus ¹. Treatment of neurodegeneration in LCH may include immunochemotherapy (e.g. BRAF V600E inhibitor therapy) ^7-9."

Line 36:394 · Italics should be used only in exceptional circumstances: '<em>BRAF V600E</em>'

"Mass lesions are the least common CNS manifestation of LCH ^2,3. Masses have a variable MR appearance and can arise from the meninges (especially the dura mater), pineal gland, choroid plexus, hypothalamus, ependyma, or can rarely be intraparenchymal ^2,3. These lesions, depending on size and location, may cause obstructive hydrocephalus ^2,3."
