Bell palsy is a common neurologic disorder characterized by acute facial mononeuropathy of unclear cause presenting with unilateral facial weakness. Careful examination and a detailed history are important in making an accurate diagnosis. Early recognition is essential, as treatment with corticosteroids within 72 hours of onset has been shown to hasten recovery. Fortunately, most patients recov...
Lower extremity neurologic symptoms are a common presenting problem. Here we report the case of a 73-year-old man who developed acute right foot pain and foot drop. History, physical examination, and electrodiagnostic studies were consistent with a lumbosacral plexopathy. Imaging studies revealed an internal iliac artery pseudoaneurysm, a rare cause of acute foot drop.
Neurologic manifestations occur in over 90% of patients with thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura. Neuropathologically, thrombi produce occlusion of terminal arterioles and capillaries resulting in diffuse small infarcts. In the great majority of surviving patients, brain CT does not disclose any abnormalities. The authors report a case of thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura in which brain MR ex...
Background: Seizure is one of the most severe side effects tramadol abuse that can be irreversible. Objectives: This study aimed to investigate frequency abuse-associated seizure and electroencephalogram findings in patients with seizures. Methods: cross-sectional was conducted on generalized tonic-clonic seizures caused by abuse. After history examination systemic neurologic evaluation, abnorm...
A 57-year-old right-handed man complained of difficulty using his hands post-coronary artery bypass graft (figure). Neurologic examination revealed signs of callosal disconnection without hemiparesis. When asked to perform limb gestures like "brush your teeth" or "wave goodbye," the right hand performed flawlessly whereas the left hand was severely apraxic (video on the Neurology Web site at ww...
Patients with acute ischemk stroke were randomized <24 hours after onset to standard (S) therapy (n=43) or to hypervolemic hemodilution (HH) with pentastarch (n=45). The therapeutic goal of hypervolemic hemodilution was to rapidly reduce hematocrit to 33%, to raise cardiac output, and to continue hypervolemic hemodilution for 3 days. A graded neurologic examination was scored by a blinded obser...
OBJECTIVE To compare human T-cell lymphotrophic virus type I (HTLV-I) seropositive and seronegative women for symptoms and signs of spasticity. BACKGROUND Infection with HTLV-I causes tropical spastic paraparesis/ HTLV-I-associated myelopathy (TSP/HAM). Certain populations, including female commercial sex workers (FSW), are at increased risk of developing this infection. Fewer than 5% of HTLV...
Patients with acute ischemic stroke were randomized less than 24 hours after onset to standard (S) therapy (n = 43) or to hypervolemic hemodilution (HH) with pentastarch (n = 45). The therapeutic goal of hypervolemic hemodilution was to rapidly reduce hematocrit to 33%, to raise cardiac output, and to continue hypervolemic hemodilution for 3 days. A graded neurologic examination was scored by a...
OBJECTIVES In critically ill patients, the assessment of neurologic function can be difficult because of the use of sedative agents. It is not known whether neurologic signs observed under sedation can predict short-term outcomes. The objective of this study was to assess whether abnormal brainstem responses within the first 24 hrs of sedation are associated with mortality and altered mental st...
BACKGROUND Previous studies proposed that routine repeat head computed tomography (RHCT) is of little value in patients with a minimal head injury (MHI) and normal neurologic examination (NE). As of 2003, routine RHCT in these MHI patients was ordered at the discretion of the attending physician. The goal of this study was to compare the neurologic outcomes of MHI patients with an intracranial ...
