Abstract

A 74-year-old woman, taking anticoagulant therapy for chronic heart failure, presented to our emergency room with left dorsiflexion weakness 8 hours from after multitrauma. A detailed neurological examination revealed only 0/5 strength in the left foot dorsiflexion without any upper motor neuron signs. While there was no spinal cord pathology detected, cranial computed tomography demonstrated a lesion in the right parasagittal localization consistent with hemorrhagic contusion. Clinical follow-ups showed an improvement in neurological findings with muscle power of 3/5 in day 5 and 5/5 in day 45 of admission. The parasagittal region has a foot localization in the homonculus and lesions in this area can rarely present with the foot drop sign. Thus, parasagittal region lesions should always be kept in mind in foot drop cases.

Özet

Yetmiş dört yaşında kronik kalp yetmezliği nedeniyle antikoagülan tedavi alan kadın hasta, multitravmadan 8 saat sonra sol ayağını kaldıramama şikayeti ile acil servise başvurdu. Hastanın yapılan nörolojik muayenesinde hiçbir üst motor nöron bulgusu olmadan sol ayak dorsifleksiyonunun 0/5 olması dışında özellik yoktu. Spinal incelemede spinal kord patololojisi saptanmazken, kraniyal bilgisayarlı tomografide sağ parasagittal lokalizasyonda hemorajik kontüzyon ile uyumlu lezyon tespit edildi. Klinik takibinde nörolojik iyileşme görülen hastanın 5. günde 3/5 olan kas gücü, 45. günde 5/5 idi. Hastanın kontrol kraniyal tomografisinde sağ parasagittaldeki kontüzyonun tamamen rezorbe olduğu görüldü. Parasagittal bölge, homonkulusun ayak lokalizasyonuna uyar ve bu bölge lezyonları nadiren düşük ayak bulgusu ile prezente olabilir. Bu nedenle, düşük ayaklı hastalarda parasagittal bölge lezyonları da akla gelmelidir.
