A 7-year-old girl with primary varicella presented with encephalopathy and focal neurologic deficits 10 days after her first skin lesions appeared. She was discovered to have bilateral wedge-shaped renal infarctions, and ischemic lesions in the conus medullaris, cerebral cortex, and deep gray matter consistent with a medium and large vessel arteritis on magnetic resonance imaging. This complica...
Fracture of the cervical spine is a recognized complication of advanced ankylosing spondylitis ( 1 ). Such fractures occur after relatively minor trauma and may appear t o be spontaneous. They are characteristically seen long after the cervical apophyseal joints have fused and vertebral osteoporosis has developed. This complication is consistent with the mechanically unstable situation that dev...
Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) has been performed for degenerative and traumatic cervical diseases to improve pain and neurologic symptoms including sensory change and motor weakness. Infection, however, is a rare complication of ACDF, and late infection is even much rarer. We present a case of late Infection from ACDF C4-5 using Biocompatible Osteoconductive Polymer (BOP) after...
An epidural infection is a rare and extremely dangerous complication of epidural anesthesia. This case report describes an epidural infection following the use of a continuous lumbar epidural anesthetic. This patient was fortunate, in that the infection did not result in neurologic sequelae and required only long-term intravenous antibiotic therapy. With the increasing use of epidural analgesia...
Infection is the commonest cause of serious neurologic sequelae of neuraxial anesthesia. The incidence depends on operator skill and patient population. Meningitis, a complication of dural puncture, is usually caused by viridans streptococci. The risk factors are dural puncture during labor, no mask and poor aseptic technique, vaginal infection and bacteremia. Epidural abscess is a complication...
Wernicke's encephalopathy is a metabolic disorder caused by thiamine deficiency, and characterized acute mental confusion, ophthalmoplegia ataxia. Its due to nutritional deficiency arising from prolonged illness affecting nutrition of the patient or requiring parenteral for duration, debilitating chronic illnesses like solid organ lymphoid malignancies. It has been commonly seen alcoholics who ...
background: percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (peg) is the standard method for enteral feeding in patients predicted to require long-term enteral nutrition because of dysphagia. the aim of this study was to assess the complications of percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy performed using the pull technique. methods: between january 2011 and december 2011, 74 patients underwent percutaneous endo...
Background: ″Wernicke’s Korsakoff″ syndrome is the most important complication of severe thiamine deficiency. The term refers to two different syndromes, each representing a different stage of the disease. Wernicke’s encephalopathy (WE) is an acute syndrome requiring emergent treatment to prevent death and neurologic morbidity. Korsakoff syndrome (KS) refers to a chronic neurologic condition th...
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Flow diverters are increasingly used in the endovascular treatment of intracranial aneurysms. Our aim was to determine neurologic complication rates following Pipeline Embolization Device placement for intracranial aneurysm treatment in a real-world setting. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively evaluated all patients with intracranial aneurysms treated with the Pipe...
Bariatric surgical procedures are increasingly common. In this review, we characterize the neurologic complications of such procedures, including their mechanisms, frequency, and prognosis. Literature review yielded 50 case reports of 96 patients with neurologic symptoms after bariatric procedures. The most common presentations were peripheral neuropathy in 60 (62%) and encephalopathy in 30 (31...
