AI Summary & Key Takeaways
AI InsightHere, we present a man aged 55 years with bilateral lumbosacral plexopathy that presented as acute paraparesia due to thrombotic occlusion of an axillobifemoral graft, which was performed for the treatment of Leriche syndrome.
📌 3 Key Takeaways
Abstract
Acute ischemia of peripheral nerves generally results from occlusion of a main proximal limb artery or from occlusion of many distal arteries. The rareness of such neuropathies can be explained by the relative resistance of peripheral nerves to ischemia. Leriche syndrome is an aortoiliac occlusive disease that is known to cause neurologic complications such as ischemic neuropathy and spinal cord ischemia. Here, we present a man aged 55 years with bilateral lumbosacral plexopathy that presented as acute paraparesia due to thrombotic occlusion of an axillobifemoral graft, which was performed for the treatment of Leriche syndrome.
Özet
Periferik sinirlerin akut iskemisi, genellikle ana proksimal arterin ya da distal arterlerin oklüzyonu sonucu gelişir. Bu nöropatilerin nadir görülmesi, periferik sinirlerin iskemiye dirençli olması ile açıklanabilir. Leriche sendromu, aortailiak oklüzyon sonucu gelişen bir hastalıktır ve iskemik nöropati, spinal kord iskemisi gibi nörolojik komplikasyonlara neden olabilir. Biz bu yazıda, 55 yaşında Leriche sendromu tanısı nedeniyle aksillofemoral greft uygulanan ve greft oklüzyonu sonucu akut parapareziyle prezente olan bilateral lumbosakral pleksopatili bir olgu sunmaktayız.
