How to help patients with restless legs syndrome Discerning the indescribable and relaxing the restless Virgilio Gerald H. Evidente, MD Charles H. Adler, MD, PhD VOL 105 / NO 3 / MARCH 1999 / POSTGRADUATE MEDICINE CME learning objectives To familiarize primary care physicians with diagnostic criteria for restless legs syndrome To elucidate secondary, and often curable, causes of restless legs syndrome To describe current treatment options for restless legs syndrome This page is best viewed with a browser that supports tables Preview : Few conditions are characterized by the difficulty encountered in trying to depict their symptoms, but such is the case in restless legs syndrome. Patients report sensations that are not painful yet are distinctly bothersome and can lead to significant physical and emotional disability. Once correctly diagnosed, restless legs syndrome can usually be effectively treated symptomatically, and in some secondary cases, it can even be cured. In this article, the authors focus on clinical features that enable timely identification of the condition and on current management strategies. I n the mid-1940s, Swedish neurologist Karl A. Ekbom described a disorder characterized by sensory symptoms and motor disturbance of the limbs, mainly during rest. He named the condition restless legs syndrome (1). Although the syndrome affects about 10% to 15% of the US population (2), it is often unrecognized and misdiagnosed. It may begin at any age (1-3), even as early as infancy, but most patients who are severely affected are middle-aged or older. Symptoms progress over time in about two thirds of patients and may be severe enough to be disabling.

Back to Patient Work-up] Group 8: Mrs.L.R. Tutor: Robert Kim Summary: Patient is a 34 y/o female who presents with a hearing loss and paresthesia on her right side. She began experiencing mild hearing loss on the right side 4.5 years ago during her first pregnancy with post-partum resolution. The hearing loss recurred 1.5 years ago with her second pregnancy that did not resolve after birth. Significant findings include: HEARING LOSS : Hearing consists of a sensorineural and conductive component. The conduction system is anatomically composed of the outer and middle ear, including the stapes, malleus, and incus. The sensorineural system consists of the cochlea, hair cells, and nerve fibers of CN VIII, which conduct to the cochlear nucleus located in the lower pons at the pontomedullary junction. On physical exam, the Weber test lateralized to the left indicating a possible left-sided conductive hearing loss or right-sided sensorineural loss. To localize the lesion, a Rinne exam was performed demonstrating bilateral air conduction greater than bone conduction. The findings, in simplest terms, suggest a sensorineural deficit on her right side with probable involvement of the cochlear division of CN VIII. Audiogram findings confirmed the sensorineural deficit. A Speech Reception Threshold (SRT) on the right of 20 db also indicates mild hearing loss. PARESTHESIA : Paresthesia defines the sensation of burning, pricking, tickling, and tingling and is associated with sensory neuropathy of various etiologies, including nerve compression. On physical exam, the patient experienced paresthesia on the right side over the mandible with her second episode indicating involvement of the mandibular division of CN V. Sensory perception was largely intact as demonstrated by her retention of normal sharp/dull discrimination.

Lumbar disc prolapse: Dr. A. Vincent Thamburaj. N eurosurgeon, Apollo Hospitals, Chennai , India. You may try the links, recommended below, for more. Spinal disorders and the pain associated with them account for a significant portion of disability at work, with most complaints occurring in the lumbar region. Men are more frequently affected. It is essentially a disease of the middle aged, unless precipitated by trauma. L4/5 and L5/S1 disc account for 90% of the cases, with each level affected about equally. L3/4 disc accounts for the majority of the remaining herniations. Symptoms: In the acute presentation , symptoms often follow trauma or an injury to the disc produced by a sudden spinal strain, such as lifting heavy weights. There is acute low back pain, and, in the event of nerve root compression, radiating pain, paresthesias, and motor weakness. Severe bilateral root dysfunction may produce bowel and bladder incontinence and sexual dysfunction. If the leg pain is not immediately experienced, it usually appears over ensuing hours with associated paresthesias. The leg pain is usually worse and in dermatomal fashion. The back pain is thought to be secondary to activation of the sinu-vertebral nerves to the annulus, which share a central pathway with the nerve roots.

FIGURES RESUME / SUMMARY Haut de page Key-words diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, facial hemiplegia, peripheral nervous system. ARTICLE Haut de page Extranodal lymphoma is not uncommon, but the lymphomatous involvement of distal nerves or muscles is rare [1-8]. In this report, we describe a case of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, which first manifested itself as left facial hemiplegia and paresthesia due to the involvement of peripheral cranial nerves and facial muscle. This case suggests that diffuse large B-cell lymphoma must be considered as one of the important causes of peripheral cranial nerve palsies.

Topiramate Health News Please, take our 1 second survey! SEASONAL DEPRESSION MENTAL HEALTH ... WEIGHT LOSS SIDE EFFECTS The most commonly observed adverse events associated with the use of topiramate at dosages of 200 to 400 mg/day in controlled trials, that were seen at greater frequency in topiramate-treated patients and did not appear to be dose-related were: somnolence, dizziness, ataxia, speech disorders, and related speech problems, psychomotor slowing, nystagmus, and paresthesia [see Table 4]. The most common dose related adverse events at dosages of 200 to 1,000 mg/day were: fatigue, nervousness, difficulty with concentration or attention, confusion, depression, anorexia, language problems, anxiety, mood problems, cognitive problems not otherwise specified, weight decreased, and tremor [see Table 5]. In controlled, clinical trials 11 of patients receiving topiramate 200 to 400 mg/day as adjunctive therapy discontinued due to adverse events. This rate appeared to increase at dosages above 400 mg/day. Adverse events associated with discontinuing therapy included somnolence, dizziness, anxiety, difficulty with concentration or attention, fatigue, and paresthesia and increased at dosages above 400 mg/day.
