Disseminated mucormycosis presenting with lower extremity weakness.
Mucormycosis is an uncommon, but important opportunistic fungal infection. The most commonly reported areas of infection are pulmonary, rhinocerebral and cutaneous. It has only rarely been reported to cause peripheral neurological symptoms. This report presents the case of a patient who presented with ascending paralysis due to pulmonary mucormycosis. The presentation is believed to be due to a...
متن کاملAcute Motor Weakness of Opposite Lower Extremity after Percutaneous Epidural Neuroplasty
Recently, percutaneous epidural neuroplasty has become widely used to treat radicular pain caused by spinal stenosis or a herniated intervertebral disc. A 19-year-old female patient suffering from left radicular pain caused by an L4-L5 intervertebral disc herniation underwent percutaneous epidural neuroplasty of the left L5 nerve root using a Racz catheter. After the procedure, the patient comp...

OBJECTIVE To determine if females with hip abductor weakness are more likely to demonstrate greater knee abduction during the stance phase of running than a strong hip abductor group. STUDY DESIGN Observational prospective study design. SETTING University biomechanics laboratory. PARTICIPANTS 15 females with weak hip abductors and 15 females with strong hip abductors. MAIN OUTCOME MEASU...
متن کاملLower motor neuron weakness after diving-related decompression.
Myelopathy is a recognized complication of diving and usually presents with upper motor neuron weakness and sensory loss of the lower limbs due to thoracic spinal cord damage. Here we present a case of lower motor neuron upper limb weakness due to infarction of the anterior horn cells of the spinal cord following diving. To our knowledge, this is the first report of an isolated lower motor neur...
متن کاملHyperkalemic Recurrent Bilateral Lower Extremity Weakness in a Patient on Hemodialysis
Hyperkalemia is a severe life-threatening electrolyte disorder that commonly affects the cardiac conductivity and contractility. Ascending paralysis affecting the extremities with focal neurological deficit as well as quadriparesis and a seizure associated with hyperkalemia has been reported in the literature. Here, we describe a case of isolated recurrent lower extremity paralysis and an episo...
