    A 45 years old married lady was admitted with spastic paraplegia of insidious onset without any sensory deficit. Serological studies of blood and CSF for syphilis were positive and cerebrospinal fluid showed increased cells and protein content. She responded well to parenteral penicillin therapy, showed gradual subjective improvement and appreciable decrease in cellular and protein content of the CSF. Her husband also was found to have latent syphilitic infection. Review of relevant literature showed no report of such paraplegia following syphilis in recent times. The case is being reported with a short discussion of the clinical features of neurosyphilis.

    Peripheral Arterial Disease II: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnostic Evaluation

    Clinical manifestationsPeripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) manifests through a range of symptoms, from the characteristic intermittent claudication to atypical presentations and severe complications in advanced stages. Intermittent claudication, a hallmark symptom of PAD, presents as exercise-induced muscle pain that typically resolves within minutes of rest. This pain is reproducible and stems from inadequate blood flow, leading to the accumulation of lactic acid produced during anaerobic...

    Spinal Nerves: Plexus I

    Nerve plexuses are networks of interlacing nerves that serve as communication hubs to distribute and organize nerve action across various body regions. The nerve plexuses are organized into the cervical plexus located in the neck region, brachial plexus in the shoulder area, lumbar plexus found in the lower back, sacral plexus situated in the pelvis, and coccygeal plexus located in the coccygeal region.
    The Cervical Plexus
    The cervical plexus, formed by the anterior rami of the first four...
