[Monomelic ischemic neuropathy caused by subclavian artery obstruction].

A case study of acute ischemic monomelic neuropathy due to occlusion of the right subclavian artery is reported. The occlusion was embolic. Clinical examination showed sensory loss and severe distal weakness of the limb without obvious muscle necrosis.

Chronic pain after methysergide: a new cause of ischemic monomelic neuropathy.

Chronic foot pain developed in a 43-year-old woman after taking methysergide, a potent vasoconstrictor. The etiology was believed to be ischemic monomelic neuropathy, which results from the compromise of blood flow to an extremity. The patient eventually required a surgical sympathectomy after lumbar sympathetic blocks failed to provide permanent relief.

AAEE case report #19: ischemic monomelic neuropathy.

A case study of a 50-year-old man who awakened from aortobifemoral bypass graft surgery with painful burning and numbness of the left foot is reported. Angiography showed embolic occlusion of the left popliteal artery proximal to the knee. Nerve conduction studies performed 1 year after occlusion showed loss or severe reduction of distal left sensory and motor amplitudes, and needle electrode examination showed fibrillation potentials in foot and distal leg muscles.

Ischemic monomelic neuropathy.

Ischemic monomelic neuropathy (IMN) is an infrequently recognized type of ischemic neuropathy produced by the shunting of blood away from, or the acute noncompressive occlusion of, a major proximal limb artery. IMN consists of multiple axonal-loss mononeuropathies that develop acutely and simultaneously in the distal portion of a limb. We found stereotyped clinical and EMG features in 14 patients.
