Her neurological examination improved upon weaning of Propofol, revealing spontaneous blinks, spontaneous movements of all four extremities, and symmetric withdrawal of all limbs to noxious stimuli although she remained in a vegetative state. Given that the patient remained seizure-free while on EEG for...
He had a Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) of 4 upon arrival. His pupils were anisocoric and sluggish to light. His brainstem reflexes were intact. Motor exam revealed extensor posturing in bilateral upper extremities and triple flexion in bilateral lower extremities in response to noxious stimuli. He ...
Later in the course of the disease, patients report dull, aching, constant pain in the same distribution as the paroxysms. The pain can be triggered by non-noxious stimuli like chewing, talking, swallowing, wind on the face, cold and light touch. Thought to be attributable to fifth cranial...
Skin blisters and skin biopsies were collected and immunostained for protein gene product (PGP) 9.5 to assess the morphology of cutaneous nerves and to quantify the number of epidermal nerve fibers (ENFs). Capsaicin resulted in reduced sensitivity to all cutaneous stimuli, particularly to noxious ...
