Issue Date: | 1998 | Journal Volume: | v.40 | Journal Issue: | n.1 | Start page/Pages: | 15-18 | Source: | EUROPEAN NEUROLOGY | Abstract: | Single nerve lesion or mononeuropathy caused by extrinsic Single nerve lesion or mononeuropathy caused by extrinsic compression of hematoma or hemarthrosis is consistently compression of hematoma or hemarthrosis is consistently reported for hemophilic patients. To study the manifestation reported for hemophilic patients. To study the manifestation of peripheral nerve lesions, an extensive nerve conduction of peripheral nerve lesions, an extensive nerve conduction study of peripheral nerves and specific nerves in study of peripheral nerves and specific nerves in correlation with clinical involvement was carried out on 126 correlation with clinical involvement was carried out on 126 hemophilic patients. We found 24 pateints with 34 hemophilic patients. We found 24 patients with 34 peripheral nerve lesions. the frequency of nerve lesion peripheral nerve lesions. The frequency of nerve lesion positively correlated with the severity of hemophilia (p<0. positively correlated with the severity of hemophilia (p < 0 01) and increasing age (p<0.05). Nerve lesions occurred more.01) and increasing age (p < 0.05). Nerve lesions occurred commonly in lower extremities than in upper extremities. more commonly in lower extremities than in upper extremities The femoral nerve was most commonly involved. Seven patients. The femoral nerve was most commonly involved. Seven were identified to have mononeuropathy multiplex with 2 or patients were identified to have mononeuropathy multiplex more nerve lesions involving more than one extremity. All of with 2 or more nerve lesions involving more than one these patients had chronic condition. Our findings suggest extremity. All of these patients had chronic condition. Our that mononeuropathy multiplex may occur in hemophilic findings suggest that mononeuropathy multiplex may occur in patients. hemophilic patients. |
