Fatiguing weakness: an initial symptom in cervical compressive radiculopathy.

J S Lieberman, G Corkill, R G Taylor

    Surgical Neurology
    |April 1, 1983
    PubMed
    Summary

    Exercise can reveal early cervical compressive radiculopathy, causing fatigue weakness. This neurological sign, often missed, requires careful history and examination for accurate diagnosis and treatment.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Orthopedics
    • Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation

    Background:

    • Cervical compressive radiculopathy can present with subtle symptoms.
    • Functional diagnoses are sometimes considered due to atypical presentations.

    Observation:

    • Three patients experienced exercise-induced weakness (fatiguing) exclusively at work.
    • Two patients faced life-threatening situations due to this weakness.
    • Initial medical evaluations often lacked objective findings, leading to diagnostic challenges.

    Findings:

    • Precise patient history and targeted examination techniques were crucial for correct diagnosis.
    • The observed fatiguing weakness is hypothesized to represent early or mild neurological involvement.
    • This weakness appears to be unmasked by exercise rather than caused by direct compression or ischemia.

    Implications:

    • Highlights the importance of considering neurological causes for exercise-induced symptoms.
    • Suggests that subtle neurological signs can be unmasked by specific activities.
    • Emphasizes the role of thorough clinical evaluation in diagnosing challenging neurological conditions.
