BACKGROUND Various sensory syndromes in lateral medullary infarctions are described. A small variation in the location of a lesion may lead to very different clinical features, owing to the complex anatomy of the medulla oblongata. MRI may identify the location and extent of the ischemic lesions, allowing a clear clinical-anatomical correlation. CASE DESCRIPTION We describe a man with an isch...

Proximal nerve injury can lead to devastating functional impairment. Because axonal regeneration is slow, timely reinnervation of denervated muscle does not occur. These denervated muscles atrophy and lose function. Sensory protection is a surgical technique thought to prevent denervated muscle impairment using local sensory nerves to provide trophic support to the muscle until motor nerves can...

BACKGROUND Many patients from Toroku, Japan, who have chronic arsenic exposure demonstrate whole-body sensory disturbance that is slightly more pronounced in the extremities. Although previous research in this population showed a mild peripheral neuropathy, it is unknown whether these patients have central nervous system impairment. To investigate the lesion sites underlying sensory disturbance...

Abstract Background With an aging population worldwide and in Ireland, comes more age-related health problems, including problems with hearing vision. Ageing is also associated a gradual decline some cognitive functions. Sensory impairments (both vision) have been shown to association impairment, greater seen those combined vision loss. There well-established between sensory however, no study d...

Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a complex disease that affects not only sensory and motor pathways below the neurological level of (NLI) but also all organs systems situated this NLI. This multisystem impairment implies comprehensive management in dedicated SCI specialized centers, by interdisciplinary multidisciplinary teams, able to treat impairment, affected. After brief history Cord Medicine, a...
