whereashandweakness,atrophy,andclumsinesspredominateinthelatter.
Sensorydistributionoftheulnarnerve.Involvementofthepalmarcutaneousordorsalcutaneousbranches indicatesthatthelesionisproximaltothewrist.
PeronealandTibialNeuropathies
Thesciaticnerveisthelargestnerveinthebody,runningfromthehipallthewaydownintothetoes.Itis derivedfromspinalnervesL4toS3.Thesciaticnerverunsdowntheposteriorthighandthensplitsinto twobranchesatthepoplitealfossa:1)thetibialnerve(L4S3)and2)thecommonperoneal,orfibular, nerve(L4S2).
Thecommonperonealnerverunslaterally,wrappingitselfaroundthelaterallegandfibula.It dorsiflexesandevertsthefootandsuppliessensationtothelateralleganddorsumofthefoot.Fibular neckfractures,laterallegtrauma,andsignificantweightlosscanallcauseperonealneuropathy,which presentswithfootdrop,peronealdistributionnumbness,andasteppage(highstepping)gait.
Thetibialnerverunsmedially.Itinvertsandplantarflexesthefootandsuppliessensationtothesoleof thefoot.Tibialnerveinjuryislesscommonthanperonealnerveinjury.Tibialnerveinjuryismost commonlycausedbycompressioninthepoplitealfossa(oftenduetoahematomaorafluidfilledBaker cyst)orwithinthetarsaltunnelattheankle.
Themosthelpfulmnemonictokeepthesetwoneuropathiesstraightthatwewereabletoturnupisquite clever:
Peronealneuropathy:presentswith“footdropPED”(Peroneal,Everts,Dorsiflexes) Tibialneuropathy:presentswithinabilitytostandonTIPtoes(Tibial,Inverts,Plantarflexes)

Box11.8Sciatica
“Sciatica”isacolloquialtermthatreferstoradicularbackpain,i.e.,painthatradiatesfrom thebackintothelegalongthedermatome(sensorydistribution)ofanerve.Itisa nonspecifictermandisoftenusedincorrectlytodescribewhatismoreaccuratelytermed lumbosacralradiculopathy.Furthermore,thetermsciaticaismisleading,becauseradicular backpaincanbetheresultofcompressionofanyofthelumbosacralnerveroots,L1through S4(L5andS1aremostcommonlyaffected),whereassciaticmononeuropathy(remember, thesciaticnerveisformedfromtheL4S3nerveroots)isrelativelyuncommon.
Lumbosacralradiculopathyis,ontheotherhand,extremelycommon.Itismostoftencaused byeitheraherniateddiscorspinalstenosiscompressingpartofthenerverootandcausing inflammation.Painthatshootsfromthelowerbackdownintotheleg,oftenwithassociated numbnessandtingling,istheclassicpresentation.Mostpatientscanbemanaged conservativelywithphysicaltherapyandashortcourseofacetaminophenorananti­inflammatorymedicationsuchasibuprofen.Epiduralsteroidsaregenerallynot recommendedbecauseoftheirlimitedefficacyandnotinconsequentialrisks.Systemic glucocorticoidsalsoappeartohavelittlevalue.Surgicalmanagementisgenerallyreserved forpatientswhodevelopfrankweaknessorwhohavepersistentanddebilitatingpaindespite conservativemeasures.
BellPalsy
https://t.me/med1917
ApatientwithBellpalsy.
WearegoingtoholdoffonafulldiscussionofthiscommonconditionuntilChapter18,whenwefocus ondisordersofthecranialnerves.Fornow,youshouldknowthatfacialpalsiescomeintwotypes:upper motorneuron(UMN)andlowermotorneuron(LMN).LMN(or“peripheral”)facialpalsy,affectingthe nucleusoraxonsoftheseventhcranialnerveitself,iscommon,affectingupto1in60peopleduringtheir lifetime.Whenthecauseisunknown,peripheralfacialnervepalsyisreferredtoasBellpalsy.
Peripheralfacialnervepalsypresentswiththeacuteonsetofweaknessontheipsilateralsideofthe face(i.e.,alesionoftheleftseventhnerveresultsinleftsidedfacialweakness),involvingboththeupper face(resultinginthepatient’sinabilitytoclosetheeyeorfullyelevatetheeyebrow)andthelowerface (resultinginnasolabialfoldflatteninganddroopingofthemouth).Theforeheadissparedinpatientswith UMNfacialnervepalsies;again,allthiswillmakemoresensewhenwelookatitindetailinChapter18.
MeralgiaParesthetica
Thiscommonmononeuropathyistheresultofcompressionofthelateralfemoralcutaneousnerve,a purelysensorybranchofthelumbarplexusthatsuppliessensationtotheanterolateralthigh.Themajority ofcasesresultfromcompressionofthenerveasitpassesbeneaththeinguinalligament,ofteninthe settingofpregnancyorobesity,orevenjustfromwearingtightbeltsorwaistbands.Patientscomplainof numbness,paresthesias,andpainintheanterolateralthigh.Becausethelateralfemoralcutaneousnerveis
https://t.me/med1917
purelysensory,thereshouldbenoassociatedmotordeficits.
Additionaltestingisalmostneverrequired.Thisisadiagnosisyoucanmakebyhistoryand examinationalone.Treatmentinvolvesavoidingprecipitants(anewwardrobemaybeinorder),weight loss,and,forthosepatientswithsignificantpain,thesamemedicationsthatareusefulforthe polyneuropathies.Mostpatientsrecoverwithinafewweekstomonths.
Damagetothelateralfemoralcutaneousnervecanleadtonumbnessoftheanterolateralthigh.

Box11.10MultipleCranialNervePalsies
Thereareonlyahandfulofthingsthatcancausemultiplecranialneuropathiessimultaneously orwithinashorttimeframeofeachother.Itisworthgoingthroughthedifferential,because noneofthesearediagnosesyouwanttomiss.
Infections:Lyme,listeria,syphilis,andcryptococcusaremostoftenimplicated. Autoimmunediseases:GuillainBarresyndromeandneurosarcoidosisarethetwomost commonlyencountered.  Neoplastic disease: Leptomeningeal carcinomatosis occurswhen cancer cellsspread into the leptomeninges (the pia and arachnoid) and cerebrospinal fluid and are thus disseminated throughout the neuraxis. This can present with severe headache (remember,themeningesarepainsensitive),polyradiculopathies(duetoinvolvementof thespinal nerve roots as theyexit the cord), and multiplecranialneuropathies (due to malignant invasion of the cranial nerves within the subarachnoid space). For more details,seeChapter16.  Cavernous sinus syndrome: The two cavernous sinuses sit on either side of the pituitary gland and drain blood and CSF from the eye and superficial cortex into the internal jugular vein. Each sinus contains an internal carotid artery, thirdorder

YourPatient’sFollowup:Allen,whopresentedwithnumbnessandtinglinginhisfeet,
appearstohaveatypicaldistalsensorypolyneuropathy.Hisfastingglucoseandhemoglobin A1cwerenormal,soyouorderadditionallaboratoryworkincludingavitamin B12/methylmalonicacid,SPEPandIEP(serumproteinelectrophoresisand immunoelectrophoresis,respectively;thesewillhelpruleoutaparaproteinemia)and, becausehelivesinNewEngland,Lymeantibodytiters.Allarenormal.Despitehisnormal fastingglucoseandhemoglobinA1cyoustillsuspectimpairedglucosetolerancebecausehe isoverweight,andaglucosetolerancetestconfirmsyoursuspicion.Nofurtherworkupis neededforthepresentmoment.Youencouragehimtoloseweightandtogetheragreeto considerstartingmetformintoimprovehisinsulinsensitivity,delaythedevelopmentoffrank diabetes,andhelphimloseweightiflifestylechangesaloneareinsufficient.Hereturnsto seeyouin3monthshavinglost8pounds,andhisneuropathicsymptomshaveimproved.
Younowknow:
1. Amyotrophiclateralsclerosis(ALS)involvesbothupperandlowermotorneuronsandcarriesagrimprognosis.
2. Therearevariouskindsofperipheralneuropathies,withvariedetiologiesandpresentations(whichyoucannowrecognize).
3. Lengthdependent sensorimotor neuropathies are most often caused by diabetes, but a long list of other potential causes must be considered in the absence of hyperglycemia, including hereditary conditions (such as CharcotMarieTooth), and metabolic disorders (suchasB12deficiency).
4. Theinflammatoryneuropathiespresentwithprofoundmotordeficits;alwaysthinkofGuillainBarresyndromeand itsmanyvariants,as thesearedonotmissdiagnoses.
5. Mononeuropathies canoccur inmultiples(mononeuritis multiplex) or as singlenerve involvement(carpaltunnelsyndrome, Bell palsy, andmeralgiaparestheticaprominentamongthem).
6. Diabetes can do almost anything to the peripheral nervous system;a stockingglove distribution sensory polyneuropathy is the most commonmanifestationandcanoccurwithoutoverthyperglycemiaorothermanifestationsofdiabetes.
