Neurologic complications are frequent after liver transplantation and are the cause of significant morbidity and mortality. A substantial proportion of the neurologic complications encountered after transplant is iatrogenic--the consequence of the harsh therapeutic interventions required to maintain function of the transplanted liver. The preoperative condition of the patient is also a major de...

The spinal cord injury (SCI) refers to a condition that the damage to the spinal cord causes neurologic dysfunction. In the case of neurologic dysfunction owing to SCI, its recovery is desperate, and the pathological condition appears as the incompetence of the body. Originally, neural axons can expand even after injury and produce a recovery of the neuronal network [1]. However, the SCI leads ...

background and objective: chronic renal failure (crf) may have many effects on nervous system and manifest as headache, seizure, dialysis disequilibrium syndrome, cerebral hemorrhage, hypertensive encephalopathy, uremic neuropathy, and some neurologic complications of transplantation. in this present study we investigate neurologic disorders in children with crf. methods: in this descriptive, c...

The purpose of neurologic examination of a child is to assess development and integrity of the nervous system and to determine location and cause of suspected dysfunction. Achieving these goals is often complicated by three impediments: (1) the patient’s age and willingness to cooperate, (2) the complexity of the complete neurologic examination, and (3) the fluctuating nature of neurologic func...

Acute gastroenteritis (AGE) is a serious disease and is one of the most important causes of early childhood mortality in developing countries. The neurologic manifestations can be propounded as primary symptoms of AGE. In order to determine the rate, clinical presentations, and outcome of patients with AGE who presented with neurologic manifestations and compare them with patients without ...

OBJECTIVE This study aimed to unravel the putative mechanism underlying the neurologic deficits contralateral to the side with lumbar disc herniation (LDH) and to elucidate the treatment for this condition. METHODS From January 2009 to June 2015, 8 patients with LDH with predominantly contralateral neurologic deficits underwent surgical treatment on the side with LDH with or without decompres...
