Upper limp hyperhydrosis is an idiopathic disease with bilateral involvement. However, Pourfour du Petit syndrome, the opposite of Horner syndrome, may result in unilateral upper limb hyperhydrosis. It occurs following hyperactivity of the sympathetic cervical chain as a consequence of irritation secondary to trauma. We report herein two cases with Pourfour du Petit syndrome showing unilateral ...

Abstract Acute upper limb ischemia accounts for less than 5% of all cases ischemia. The etiology in young individuals are usually traumatic. Other non-traumatic causes rarely seen and here we present two such young, presenting with acute choice between a surgical or minimally invasive endovascular approach remains unclear. Endovascular to management, although based on expertise, offers good pos...

Introduction: Although frequently observed in magnetic resonance images, symptomatic thoracic disc herniations are rare. Surgical treatment is indicated when patients suffer from functional symptoms with no response to medical treatment, neurologic appear or worsen the event of myelopathy. Posterolateral approaches commonly accepted as for lateral and mediolateral non-calcified medial herniatio...

A cervical rib is a rare condition in dogs and cats, but widely described humans. It congenital disorder involving the presence of additional ribs located mainly on one side or, less often, both sides seventh vertebra. Cervical are mostly found accidentally during chest X-rays. Occasionally, however, can be symptomatic: neurological, cardiovascular, or respiratory symptoms possible. An 8-year-o...

Background. Thoracic outlet syndrome may be due to various reasons and be classified as neurogenic, arterial, and venous thoracic outlet syndrome. The surgical treatment of neurogenic thoracic outlet syndrome can be performed using either a trans-axillary or a supraclavicular approach. The aim of this study is to report on such patients operated in a single institution by a single thoracic surg...

OBJECTIVES Though controversial, onychectomy remains a commonly performed distal thoracic limb surgical procedure in cats. Peripheral nerve block techniques have been proposed in cats undergoing onychectomy but evidence of efficacy is lacking. Preliminary tests of the described technique using cadavers resulted in incomplete staining of nerves. The aim of this study was to develop nerve block m...

IMPORTANCE In multiple sclerosis (MS), upper cervical cord gray matter (GM) atrophy correlates more strongly with disability than does brain or cord white matter (WM) atrophy. The corresponding relationships in the thoracic cord are unknown owing to technical difficulties in assessing GM and WM compartments by conventional magnetic resonance imaging techniques. OBJECTIVES To investigate the a...

Traumatic spinal epidural hematoma (TSEH) is a neurosurgical emergency which is considered as one of the rare causes of back pain. The onset of symptoms presentation can vary especially following a trauma. Here, we report a case where a young girl had a trivial fall and presented symptoms of back pain three days later. She developed abrupt onset of lower limb weakness during her stay in the eme...
