It is commonly encountered in one or more regions of distal ext...

Multifocal acquired demyelinating sensory and motor (MADSAM) neuropathy is characterized by an asymmetric multifocal pattern of motor and sensory loss, and conduction block and other features of demyelination in nerve conduction studies. MADSAM neuropathy needs to be differentiated from chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) and multifocal motor neuropathy (MMN). In classic CI...

BACKGROUND Musculoskeletal pain is common in childhood and adolescence, and may be long-lasting and recurrent. Musculoskeletal problems tend to follow adolescents into adulthood, and therefore it is important to design better prevention strategies and early effective treatment. To this end, we need in-depth knowledge about the epidemiology of musculoskeletal extremity problems in this age group...

It produces an aesthetic problem and sometimes upper airway obstruction when the larynx is infiltrated by the mass. We report the case of a male with Madelung's disease, which began with acute dyspnea caused by laryngeal fat deposits and obstructive lipoma.
