نویسندگان
چکیده
Pure neuritic leprosy involves single or multiple nerves, often in different limbs (mononeuritis multiplex); however, it may rarely present with symmetrical distal neuropathy, referred to as “mononeuritis multiplex summation.”

Pearls & Oy-sters: false positives in short-segment nerve conduction studies due to ulnar nerve dislocation.
The possibility that a technical error may occur during nerve conduction studies due to ulnar nerve dislocation when the elbow is flexed has recently been suggested. We investigated normal volunteers using ultrasonography to observe the effects of ulnar nerve dislocation during elbow flexion on short-segment nerve conduction studies. We found significant conduction block in all of the subjects ...

CASE REPORT A previously healthy 41-year-old woman with recurrent herpes labialis since her 20s noticed a herpes labialis lesion on the left side of the lower lip. After 2 days, she experienced the acute onset of tingling and a swollen sensation of the left side of the face, beginning at the V3 division of the trigeminal nerve and progressing to involve the V1 and V2 divisions over the course o...

متن کاملPearls and oy-sters: central fourth nerve palsies.
CLINICAL PEARLS Lesions of the fourth (trochlear) cranial nerve cause vertical or oblique diplopia by impairing the ability of the superior oblique muscle to intort and depress the eye. This binocular diplopia worsens in downgaze and lateral gaze away from the affected eye. Because intorsion is necessary to maintain fusion in ocular counter-roll, this diplopia also worsens with head tilt toward...

Amadeo R. Rodriguez, MD Robert A. Egan, MD Jason J.S. Barton, MD, PhD, FRCPC In skew deviation, one eye is higher than the other, causing vertical diplopia. Skew deviation is a prenuclear disorder resulting from imbalance in otolith input to the oculomotor system, produced by unilateral lesions anywhere from the otoliths to the interstitial nucleus of Cajal in the rostral midbrain,1 and as such...
