CONCLUSION:The combination of LSPR with adductor tenotomy can effectively ameliorate lower limb spasticity and movement with decreased operative damage.
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of combination therapy of LSPR with adductor tenotomy on lower limb spasticity, gait and movement of the patients.
The episode began with two attacks of generalized tonic-clonic seizures, fever and consciousness disturbance, followed by urinary incontinence and paraplegia with hyporeflexia.
We present a 29 year-old male with a history of coumadin therapy for deep vein thrombosis who developed exsanguinating lower back pain and progressive neurological deterioration.
There were 13 cases of arteriosclerosis obliterans, 11 cases of diabetic extremital gangrene, 5 cases of thromboangiitis obliterans, and 3 cases of arterious embolism of lower extremities.
Deep phlebothrombosis was found in 6 of the 10 cases who were performed color Doppler ultrasonography on the lower extremity while valve dysfunction was found in one case.
