  • Ischaemic Lumbosacral Plexopathy in Acute Vascular Compromise:Case Report
    Parapkgia 29 (1991) 70-75 © 1991 International Medical Soci<ty of Paraplegia Paraplegia L-_________________________________________________ � Ischaemic Lumbosacral Plexopathy in Acute Vascular Compromise: Case Report D.X. Cifu, MD, K.D. Irani, MD Department of Physical Medicine, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, Texas, USA. Summary Anterior spinal artery syndrome (ASAS) is a well reported cause of spinal cord injury (SCI) following thoracoabdominal aortic surgery. The resultant deficits are often incom­ plete, typically attributed to the variable nature of the vascular distribution. Our Physi­ cal Medicine and Rehabilitation (PM and Rehabilitation) service was consulted about a 36-year-old patient with generalised deconditioning, 3 months after a stab wound to the left ventricle. Physical examination revealed marked lower extremity weakness, hypo­ tonia, hyporeflexia, and a functioning bowel and bladder. Further questioning disclosed lower extremity dysesthesias. Nerve conduction studies showed slowed velocities, pro­ longed distal latencies and decreased amplitudes of all lower extremity nerves. Electro­ myography revealed denervation of all proximal and distal lower extremity musculature, with normal paraspinalis. Upper extremity studies were normal. Recently, 3 cases of ischaemic lumbosacral plexopathy, mimicking an incomplete SCI, have been reported. This distinction is particularly difficult in the poly trauma patient with multiple musculo­ skeletal injuries or prolonged recuperation time, in addition to a vascular insult, as in this patient. The involved anatomical considerations will be discussed. A review of the elec­ trodiagnostic data from 30 patients, with lower extremity weakness following acute ischaemia, revealed a 20% incidence of spinal cord compromise, but no evidence of a plexopathy. Key words: Ischaemia; Lumbosacral plexopathy; Electromyography. Recent advances in cardiovascular and trauma surgery have led to increased survi­ val of patients following cardiac and great vessel trauma or insult.

Lumbar disc degeneration is defined as the wear and tear of lumbar intervertebral disc, and it is mainly occurring at L3-L4 and L4-S1 vertebrae. Lumbar disc degeneration may lead to disc bulging, osteophytes, loss of disc space, and compression and irritation of the adjacent nerve root. Clinical presentations associated with lumbar disc degeneration and lumbosacral nerve lesion are discogenic pain, radical pain, muscular weakness, and cutaneous. Discogenic pain is usually felt in the lumbar region, or sometimes, it may feel in the buttocks, down to the upper thighs, and it is typically presented with sudden forced flexion and/or rotational moment. Radical pain, muscular weakness, and sensory defects associated with lumbosacral nerve lesions are distributed on

  • The Blood Supply of the Lumbar and Sacral Plexuses in the Human Foetus* by M
    J. Anat., Lond. (1964), 98, 1, 105-116 105 With 4 plates and 3 text-figures Printed in Great Britain The blood supply of the lumbar and sacral plexuses in the human foetus* BY M. H. DAYt Department of Anatomy, Royal Free Hospital School of Medicine INTRODUCTION The existence of a blood supply to peripheral nerve is well established. Recently, a number of authors have reviewed the literature of the field, among them Blunt (1956) and Abdullah (1958), who from their own observations have confirmed that peripheral nerves are supplied by regional vessels reinforcing longitudinally arranged channels which freely anastomose with each other. There is also evidence that posterior root ganglia are particularly well supplied with blood vessels (Abdullah, 1958), but the precise distribution and arrangement of arteries to some individual nerve trunks and plexuses is still in need of investigation. The literature reveals few references to the blood supply of the lumbar and sacral plexuses. The distribution of arteries to the roots and ganglia of the sacral nerves was noted by Haller (1756), but the most important contributions in this field were those of Bartholdy (1897) and Tonkoff (1898), whose observations on the lumbar and sacral plexuses form part of a general survey of the blood supply of peripheral nerve in man. They cited the lumbar, ilio-lumbar, median and lateral sacral arteries as well as the gluteal and pudendal vessels as sources of supply, but gave no indication of the frequency of these contributions. Subsequent authors including Hovelacque (1927), dealt briefly with the distribution of the lateral sacral, median sacral, gluteal and pudendal arteries to the sacral plexus, but treated more fully the blood supply of the sciatic nerve.

While academic staff teach you about referencing techniques and how to avoid plagiarism, you too have a responsibility in this regard. If you are at any stage uncertain as to what is required, you should speak to your lecturer before any written work is submitted. You are guilty of plagiarism if you copy something from another author’s work (e.g. a book, an article, or a website) without acknowledging the source and pass it off as your own. In effect, you are stealing something that belongs to someone else. This is not only the case when you copy work word-for-word (verbatim), but also when you submit someone else’s work in a slightly altered form (paraphrase) or use a line of argument without acknowledging it. You are not allowed to use work previously produced by another student. You are also not allowed to let anybody copy your work with the intention of passing if off as his/her work.
