Generalised hypotonia following
Neonatal cervical osteomyelitis is an extremely rare condition. It is a potentially dangerous condition with high fatality and disastrous consequences. Hence, it is important to recognise it early to prevent long-term morbidity and sensory-motor disabilities. It can have an indolent course conspicuous with the absence of pyrexia. We report a four-week-old infant with erosive osteomyelitis invol...
متن کاملMechanisms of upper airway hypotonia
The onset of sleep is associated with a reduction in upper airway patency and an increase in resistance, an effect observed in normal humans and animals, and typically present in snorers and patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)/hypopnea syndrome (1–5). Patients with OSA commonly have structural abnormalities that result in a narrowed upper airway and collapsible pharyngeal walls. During ...
متن کاملEpisodic acute hypotonia after Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy—retinal function and choroidal swelling
In a patient with uveitis who had been treated with Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy after cataract surgery, several episodes of acute hypotonia occurred which were associated with changes in clinical tests of the eye and of visual function. Immunosuppressive and immunomodulating treatment appeared to reverse the changes in intraocular pressure and normalise the test results. The significance of these ...
متن کاملThe floppy infant: evaluation of hypotonia.
Hypotonia is characterized by reduced resistance to passive range of motion in joints versus weakness, which is a reduction in the maximum muscle power that can be generated. (Dubowitz, 1985; Crawford, 1992; Martin, 2005) Based on strong research evidence, central hypotonia accounts for 60% to 80% of cases of hypotonia, whereas peripheral hypotonia is the cause in about 15% to 30% of cases. Dis...
متن کاملGait Patterns of Children with Idiopathic Hypotonia
The characteristics of idiopathic hypotonic gait are poorly understood. The purpose of this study was to identify biomechanical parameters that differentiate between children with hypotonia and an age-matched control group. Twelve children with idiopathic hypotonia, aged 6–13 years, participated in the study. Twenty-two children with no known disorders, aged 6–13 years, served as a control grou...
