Dissecting a radiculomedullary artery as an infrequent cause of low back pain: illustrative case.

Background: There is currently no case described in the literature of epidural hematoma associated with subarachnoid hemorrhage due to dissection of a spontaneous radiculomedullary artery at the lumbar level and therefore its incidence and prevalence are not known. However, its etiology is thought to be similar and may not be diagnosed given its nonspecific symptomatology.

Observations: The authors present the case of an adult patient who consulted the emergency department for 2 weeks of low back pain.

Multiple cranial neuropathy: Clinical findings in a case series of 142 patients.

Introduction: Multiple cranial neuropathies (MCN) is an entity frequently seen in clinical practice but there is a lack of studies published about this entity, with most of them based on case reports and small case series.

Objective: The aim of this study is to describe the clinical involvement of different cranial nerves, the location within the central or peripheral nervous system and the diagnosis in a group of patients with MCN managed in one hospital in Bogotá-Colombia.

Methodology: A case series study was conducted using the electronic clinical records of a teaching hospital in Bogota-Colombia.
