Painful polyneuropathy secondary to prolonged treatment with linezolid: presentation of a case.
نویسندگان
چکیده
post-LP headaches and diplopia in which treatment is initiated in the first 24 hours after VI CNP appears. The interesting feature of this case is that treatment delivered excellent results even though the epidural blood patch was administered 72 hours after palsy onset. In conclusion, we would like to suggest considering treatment with an epidural blood patch even when more than 24 hours have passed since the onset of CNP. This treatment may significantly accelerate the patient’s recovery.
