Superficial siderosis of central nervous system in patients with brachial plexus injury.

摘要

A 20-year-old man was investigated for severe headache with nausea and vomit. He reported a traumatic right cervicobrachial injury at age four and a recurrent headache sometimes associated with visual aura since he was 16. Neurological examination at admission showed ideomotor slowing, weakness in finger abduction–adduction and thumb opposition (MRC 4), hypotrophy of intrinsic right hand muscles and reduction of sensory modalities in the medial aspect of right hand.
