Conus medullaris stroke
Absent F wave in the stage of spinal shock has been described in cases of traumatic spinal cord injury. The role of F wave in predicting prognosis after conus medullaris infarct has not been described. We describe herein a middle aged-man with a conus medullaris infarct. Both tibial and peroneal F waves were absent on day 4. The left tibial F wave reappeared in the following study on day 18. Al...
متن کاملClinical importance of F-waves as a prognostic factor in Guillain-Barré syndrome in children
PURPOSE A limited number of studies have examined the link between F-wave abnormalities and clinical presentation in pediatric Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS). Therefore, this study examined the importance of F-wave abnormalities as a prognostic factor in pediatric GBS patients. METHODS The records and electrodiagnostic studies (EDS) of 70 GBS patients were retrospectively evaluated, and divide...
متن کاملIsolated absence of F waves and proximal axonal dysfunction in Guillain-Barré syndrome with antiganglioside antibodies.
OBJECTIVES To investigate the pathophysiology of selective absence of F waves and its relation with antiganglioside antibodies in Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS). Some patients with GBS show the absence of F waves as an isolated conduction abnormality, which has been interpreted as demyelination in the proximal nerve segments. METHODS In 62 consecutive patients with GBS, sequential nerve conduc...
متن کاملGuillain-Barré and Miller Fisher Overlap Syndrome Mimicking Alimentary Botulism
Dear Editor, We describe a patient presenting with atypical overlapping Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) and Miller Fisher syndrome (MFS), with positivity for anti-GM1, anti-GD1a, and anti-GD1b IgG antigangliosides, whose initial presentation evoked alimentary botulism (AB). A 50-year-old male patient with no medical history presented at the emergency department with blurred vision, dry mouth, and...
متن کاملCharacteristics of Guillain-Barré syndrome: brief report
Background: Guillain-Barré syndrome is an autoimmune inflammatory disease, which manifests itself as an acute motor weakness of the organs, diagnosed as affecting the motor spinal nerve roots generally and causing muscle and motor weakness, the cause of this disease is the presence of active antibodies against the myelin sheath around the spinal nerve roots. Guillain-Barré syndrome is the most ...
