Motor Neuron Syndrome

SUMMARY:A 33 year old man developed bilateral leg weakness two years following radiotherapy to the pelvis and lower abdomen for the treatment of a seminoma. Clinical and electrophysiological examinations and nerve and muscle biopsies suggest that this is an example of either post-irradiation myelopathy selectively affecting the anterior horn cells in the lower spinal cord or a purely motor lumbo-sacral radiculopathy.

Extensive Transverse Myelitis

Transverse myelitis typically extends two or less spinal segments, whereas longitudinal extensive transverse myelitis (LETM) extends three or more spinal segments in length and may occasionally span all the segments of the spinal cord. We present a case of spinal tuberculosis presenting with LETM with true lower motor neuron-type flaccid paraplegia.

Lower Motor Neuron Disease

A young cat had signs of tetraparesis that progressed to tetraplegia within a few weeks. Clinically, there was lower motor neuron disease with areflexia and muscle atrophy in all limbs. Degeneration of the motor neurons in the spinal cord was seen on histological examination. Ultrastructurally, the degeneration of nerve cells was characterized by abnormal proliferation of neurofilaments. These findings were compared to other motor neuron diseases and neurofibrillary accumulations in man and animals.
