Blog 4: Quadriparesis case

Hello everyone.. I am Aditya Rayilla, an intern posted in medicine department and one of the important terms of getting the internship completion is to complete my log book with my online log of what I learn during the course of my duties.  Lately we've been getting alot of CNS cases in our hospital, but most of the time we identify the etiology depending on the history and examination, here is a case that shows an ambiguity in diagnosis as the case history points towards one type of a lesion and the examination towards another.  Here is the case presentation of a 40 YO lady with quadriparesis (predominantly paraparesis of lower limbs) Case History  c/o difficulty in walking since 20days and weakness of both upper limbs  HOPI: pt was a/a 20 days ago after which she had a trauma due to slippage of footwear while working in an agricultural field, immediately after fall, pt was unable to stand and nearby workers lifted her and made her sit on a chair.

Hello everyone.. I am Aditya Rayilla, an intern posted in medicine department and one of the important terms of getting the internship completion is to complete my log book with my online log of what I learn during the course of my duties.  I'd mainly like to discuss about two patients that were admitted under our unit last week. 1. A 65 year old female who presented with Acute gastroenteritis and had hypovolemic shock with metabolic acidosis at the time of admission. Interestingly she is also a k/c/o Right sided hemiparesis. 2.
