Acute and Chronic Polyradiculopathies

Continuum, 2011
Polyradiculopathies are uncommon peripheral nervous system syndromes that result from a variety of conditions. The clinical manifestations are variable but often include symmetric or asymmetric distal and proximal weakness with a variable degree of sensory loss and reduction or loss of reflexes.

Polyradiculopathy and Plexopathy

Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Clinics of North America, 1990
Polyradiculopathy is the involvement of multiple nerve roots, usually bilaterally. A plexopathy is a lesion distal to the nerve roots but proximal to the origin of the individual peripheral nerves. The electrodiagnostic evaluation of both polyradiculopathies and plexopathies can be important, not only for anatomic localization of the lesion, but also ...

Cytomegalovirus polyradiculopathy in HIV-infected patients

Journal of General Internal Medicine, 1996
Cytomegalovirus polyradiculopathy, a late complication of HIV infection, is characterized by lower extremity weakness, urinary retention, and sacral dysesthesias. We describe four patients (mean CD4 T-cell count = 25 cells/mm3) who developed this "infectious cauda equina syndrome." The characteristic cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) findings, notably atypical

Transient Lumbosacral Polyradiculopathy After Prostatectomy

Southern Medical Journal, 1999
Mononeuropathies are common after pelvic surgery. They are usually the result of unnatural positioning during surgery or faulty restraining devices. Polyneuropathy in the postoperative setting is rare. We report two cases of polyradiculopathy after radical prostatectomy using two different patient positions. Both patients complained of paresthesias and

Subacute inflammatory polyradiculopathy associated with Sjögren's syndrome

Muscle & Nerve, 2009
AbstractPeripheral nervous system involvement is common in Sjögren's syndrome (SS); however, polyradiculopathy has been reported rarely in association with SS, and predominantly chronic forms have been described. We describe a patient with clinical, cerebrospinal fluid, neurophysiological, and neuroradiological evidence of subacute inflammatory ...

Progressive polyradiculopathy in acquired immune deficiency syndrome

Neurology, 1986
We studied three patients with acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) and progressive polyradiculopathy. Postmortem examination of one patient disclosed extensive necrosis, inflammatory infiltrates, and focal vasculitis of spinal roots. Typical cytomegaloviral (CMV), intranuclear, and intracytoplasmic inclusions were noted within enlarged ...

Magnetic resonance imaging of AIDS‐related polyradiculopathy

Neurology, 1991
AIDS-related polyradiculopathy is a syndrome associated with cytomegalovirus infection. We report two cases of AIDS-related polyradiculopathy in which spinal T1-weighted MRI with gadolinium-DTPA showed enhancement of the pial lining of the conus medullaris, cauda equina, and lumbar nerve roots.

Presentation of intravascular lymphomatosis as lumbosacral polyradiculopathy

Muscle and Nerve, 2000
A 53-year-old man developed progressive sensory disturbance and weakness in the legs, sphincter disturbance, back pain, systemic symptoms, and pancytopenia. Electrophysiological tests indicated a widespread lumbosacral polyradiculopathy. Spinal magnetic resonance imaging and routine cerebrospinal fluid analysis showed minor nonspecific abnormalities ...

Ventral polyradiculopathy with pediatric acute lymphocytic leukemia

Muscle & Nerve, 2001
AbstractA 3‐year‐old girl with acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) in remission developed lower extremity paraparesis and areflexia 15 days after receiving intrathecal methotrexate, cytarabine, and hydrocortisone. Cerebrospinal fluid protein was 107 mg/dl.

Neurosarcoidosis presenting with severe hyposmia and polyradiculopathy

Rinsho Shinkeigaku, 2013
A 50-year-old woman presented with constriction sensation in the lower part of the chest, paresthesia in the right forearm and hypesthesia in the right thigh. One month later, she noticed a loss of sense of smell. The normal findings of the nasal mucosa and the impaired results of standard olfactory acuity test (T&T olfactometry) and intravenous ...
