Tick paralysis results from inoculation of a toxin from tick salivary glands during a blood meal. It is a relatively uncommon neuromuscular disease with a higher prevalence among young girls, although older men who get exposed to ticks may also be affected. It typically presents as an acute ascending paralysis occurring a few days after tick attachment

AbstractDetailed knowledge of embryology, anatomy, and function of the facial nerve is essential in treating the devestating functional, aesthetic, and psychological sequelae of facial paralysis. Two basic factors influence the method of repair and the subsequent outcome of the effort to combat facial paralysis.

Hypokalemia that leads to paralysis is extremely rare in children. We report a case of a young child with genetically inherited periodic hypokalemic paralysis. Hypokalemia should be considered in a child with acute onset of muscle weakness.

The diaphragm is a chief muscle of inspiration. Its paralysis can lead to dyspnea and can affect ventilatory function. Diaphragmatic paralysis can be unilateral or bilateral. The clinical symptoms are more prominent in bilateral diaphragm paralysis. Ventilatory failure and cor pulmonale are usually seen in severe cases.

Hysterical paralysis is an uncommon type of conversion disorder. It can be difficult to diagnose. In cases in which symptoms are difficult to explain neuroanatomically or are functionally inconsistent, hysteria should enter into the differential diagnosis.

The one tick-borne disease that rarely comes under the auspices of the infectious disease specialist is not caused by an infectious agent, but is tick paralysis. This condition is caused by tick bite and typically presents as a flaccid ascending paralysis.

This article discusses peripheral facial paralysis of nontraumatic origin. The term idiopathic facial paralysis is used generically, in place of the often ambiguous term, Bell's palsy, to indicate all types of peripheral facial palsy/paralysis for which no cause is apparent.

Most patients with obstetrical paralysis have some useful functional return, and early recognition and treatment help prevent rapidly developing shoulder contractures. Initial physical therapy includes passive range of motion exercises. Fixed contractures must be released prior to reconstructive surgery designed to improve funtion.
