encephalopathy and peripheral neuropathy following diethylene glycol ingestion
Neurology, 2005Co-Authors: M J Hasbani, Arthur K Asbury, Lauren H. Sansing, Jeanmarie Perrone, S. J. BirdAbstract:The authors report a 24-year-old man who developed encephalopathy and rapid quadriplegia following ingestion of a solution containing diethylene glycol (DEG). As Quadriparesis evolved, motor response amplitudes were markedly reduced with preserved conduction velocities. Studies during clinical recovery revealed marked motor conduction velocity slowing and prolonged distal latencies. These data indicate that DEG intoxication may cause a primary acute axonal sensorimotor polyneuropathy with demyelinating physiology during recovery.

cervical intramedullary spinal cord lipoma
Surgical Neurology International, 2017Co-Authors: Rocco Severino, Paolo SeverinoAbstract:Background Intramedullary, nondysraphic, spinal cord lipomas are rare and account for less than 1% of all spinal cord lesions. Symptoms typically consist of a progressive myelopathy associated with increasing degrees of paralysis (e.g., Quadriparesis/plegia, paraparesis/plegia). Case Description A 39-year-old male, without a history of spinal dysraphism, presented with a progressive spastic Quadriparesis. This was attributed to magnetic resonance-documented large intramedullary cervical lipoma. Following partial intramedullary surgical debulking of the lesion, the patient neurologically improved. Conclusion Partial debulking of a cervical intramedullary lipoma in a patient who originally presented with a severe Quadriparesis resulted in significant neurological improvement. Notably, utilization of intraoperative ultrasonography, CO2 laser, and both motor evoked and somatosensory evoked potentials can be helpful during the removal of such lipomas.

hypokalemic Quadriparesis an unusual manifestation of dengue fever
Journal of natural science biology and medicine, 2012Co-Authors: Manish Gutch, Avinash Agarwal, Amrendra AmarAbstract:Dengue is the most important mosquito-borne, arboviral infection found in tropical and sub-tropical climates. Clinical presentation varies from a severe flu-like illness to a potentially lethal dengue hemorrhagic fever. Dengue has been regarded as a nonneurotropic virus. However, there are reports describing neurological involvements in dengue virus infection. The neurological involvement in dengue virus infection includes encephalitis, acute disseminated encephalomyelitis, transverse myelitis, and Guillain-Barre syndrome. The neurological spectrum of dengue patients has been limited because of small number of case reports, paucity of imaging, and neurophysiologic studies. There are only a few isolated case reports and case series documenting acute pure motor Quadriparesis in dengue fever. We report acute pure motor reversible Quadriparesis due to hypokalemia. Clinicians in the endemic area should be aware of such association of acute pure motor reversible Quadriparesis with dengue fever.
