Characteristics of radiogenic lower motor neurone disease, a possible link with a preceding viral infection

Abstract: On analogy with the viral motor neurone diseases, we suppose that radiogenic LMND may be preceded by viral (enterovirus/poliovirus) infection. Based on the meta-analysis, it is suggested that irradiation may be only a single component of the set of factors jointly resulting in the clinical state regarded as radiogenic LMND.

“…Rarely, a delayed pure motor syndrome has been reported months to decades following radiation injury to the lumbosacral ventral nerve roots, most commonly associated with the treatment of testicular cancer. 104,106 Acute spinal cord hemorrhage decades following treatment has also been described, attributed to radiation-induced cavernous malformations. 104,107 LABORATORY AND RADIOLOGY FINDINGS.…”

“…Se da en el contexto de una aspergilosis invasiva y su pronóstico usualmente es muy desalentador con necesidad de cambios en el esquema terapéutico convencional llegando incluso a usar voriconazol durante periodos muy prolongados de tiempo (179). Hay que tener en cuenta que muchos de estos diagnósticos requieren de pericia clínica y excluir siempre un efecto directo de la radioterapia o complicaciones asociadas a la misma, que puedan simular un proceso infeccioso del sistema nervioso, como pueden ser la lesión directa del parénquima cerebral o medular, la enfermedad de la neurona motora inferior radio génica, las malformaciones cavernosas o las fistulas espinales (182)(183)(184).…”

“…(4) tarafından tanım-lanmıştır. Literatürde 1996 yılına kadar 30 olgu bildirilmiş, 2004 yılında ise 47 olguluk bir metaanaliz yayınlanmıştır (1,3). Bu çalışmada, alt ekstremiteyi tutan diğer patolojilerle karıştığı için tanısı geç konulan radyoterapiye bağlı alt ekstremitede kuvvetsizlikle giden, duyusal ve sfinkter tutulumunun olmadığı AMNS'li bir olgu sunulmaktadır.…”
