hypesthesia/atrophy

OBJECTIVE To present external eye findings and the observation of iris atrophy in patients with climatic droplet keratopathy (CDK). METHODS Twenty-three patients with CDK and 13 controls living in a semideserted plain of the Argentine Patagonia were studied. Besides a comprehensive eye examination,

OBJECTIVE Symptomatic ASD after lumbar spinal fusion surgery occurs most commonly in the cranial segment. The surgery for ASD contains anterior lumbar interbody fusion, posterior lumbar interbody fusion, decompression alone (laminotomy) and so on. But coblation nucleoplasty for ASD has not been

A 56-year-old man was admitted to our department with a chief complaint of lower extremity dysesthesia. He described a dull numbness below the ankle and a dull pain in the nates for the past two years. Although the numbness extended to the thigh, he did not notice any muscular weakness or atrophy.

This article presents the history of the discovery of compression of the median nerve in the carpal tunnel without an identifiable cause as a distinct clinical entity. By analyzing primary sources, we show that, at the beginning of the twentieth century, physicians described patients with

We report an autopsy case of multiple system atrophy (MSA) presenting with rapid progression of autonomic disturbance. He was admitted to our hospital because of gait disturbance and dysarthria. The patient was a Japanese man, who first noticed gait disturbance and dysarthria at age 58, followed by

A 70-year-old man developed slowly progressive muscular atrophy in the lower limbs from age 28, followed by urinary disturbance from age 40. Neurological examination revealed bilateral severe muscular atrophy in the lower limbs with hypesthesia and hypalgesia, mild muscle wasting of both hands,

We aimed to determine the incidence of sensory symptoms (SS) that complicate thalidomide treatment of patients with age-related macular degeneration. In a double-blind prospective study, 38 patients were randomized to receive either thalidomide (100mg twice per day) or placebo for 1year. They were

Weakness and numbness occur in a variety of patterns that reflect injury to different parts of the central and peripheral nervous system. Progressive symptoms most often signify an underlying structural or degenerative problem. Familiarity with the major descending motor and ascending sensory tracts

Clinical characteristics of late deterioration in adult cerebral palsy were reported with detailed neurological evaluations and analyses. 10 adult cases, 9 male and 1 female, with cerebral palsy (CP) were included aged from 24 to 58 years on admission. Without marked mental retardation all had been

We report a 53-year-old man of X-BSMA with neuropathy. The patient developed slowly progressive muscular weakness and wasting over a 2-year period with an accompanying numbness in the finger tip. He can run normally but not so fast. When he was aged 52-year old, difficulty in running progressed.

Subacute combined degeneration of the spinal cord (SCDS) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by subacute progression in the central and peripheral nervous systems mainly caused by vitamin B₁₂ deficiency. It is known that typical SCDS is frequently accompanied by

Several recent studies have reported subacute combined degeneration (SCD) induced by nitrous oxide (N₂O) abuse. However, the association between the evolution of dynamic neuroimaging and clinical manifestations has not been reported in patients with

A 62-year-old man with a 1-year history of numbness of the extremities, clumsiness, and gait disorder was diagnosed with cervical spondylotic myelopathy at a neighboring clinic and referred to our institution for surgery. The patient had undergone a total gastrectomy 6 years previously. Flattening

Regular testing for impaired sensation is important in the management of diseases that can cause progressive nerve damage, such as leprosy. It has been shown that light touch sensibility decreases with age in the hands of healthy individuals, but little research has been undertaken to assess

Vitamin B12 deficiency results in multisystem manifestations. A 30years-old man presented with progressive weakness of lower limbs along with numbness. Patient had pale colour and noticed progressive pigmentation over dorsal and palmar aspects of both the hands and the feet. Neurological examination
