Children with cerebral palsy may be resistant to paralysis induced by nondepolarizing neuromuscular blocking drugs. Potency of a bolus of succinylcholine in children with cerebral palsy has not been studied previously. Therefore, we measured the response of the adductor pollicis to succinylcholine in children with cerebral palsy anesthetized with propofol and nitrous oxide. Forty children betwe...

Hypoglossal nerve injury is a very rare complication of anaesthesia airway management. The cause argued to this lesion is neuropathy of this nerve provoked by its compression due to inflation of the cuff within the larynx or damage secondary to hyperextension of the neck during a difficult intubation. Although most cases describe Tapia ́s syndrome with hypoglossus and recurrent laryngeal nerve p...

Non-Hodgkin diffuse large B-cell lymphomas of the mastoid that extend from the nasopharynx are extremely rare in children. Moreover, in lymphoproliferative diseases, the presence of otoneurological signs prior to systemic disease involvement is rare. Here, we present a rare case of non-Hodgkin B-cell lymphoma invading the middle ear and mastoid in a 1-year-old boy that mimicked acute mastoiditi...

Context: Cerebral palsy is condition that caused by neurological damage, which leads to problems in the somatosensory systems. It can cause spasticity involved muscles leading poor function, limitations range of motion, balance and coordination. Therapeutic use whole-body vibration therapy for management mentioned symptoms have been reported literature. This review study examines effect on spas...

Background. Postoperative C5 motor palsy is known as a common complication not only after cervical laminectomy but also after anterior discectomy. There is no consensus to verify any of the proposed mechanisms of C5 palsy following posterior cervical decompression. The authors of this article have found that C5 palsy is more common among patients with smaller C5 root exit foramen area. The purp...
