The neuropathy is attributed to a toxic endarteritis with retrograde propagation of spasm and thrombosis. Swelling an bluish discoloration of the buttocks ("embolia cutis medicamentosa") as well as an...
متن کاملInflammatory Neuropathy of the Lumbosacral Plexus following Periacetabular Osteotomy.

The following paper briefly reviews the features of this well defined...

Vasodilators are of little use orally, though some drugs may have a part to play for short-term management and iloprost sh...
