Notalgia paresthetica owing to compression neuropathy: case presentation including electrodiagnostic studies

E W Streib, S F Sun

    European Neurology
    |January 1, 1981

    Summary

    Prolonged bed rest can cause back numbness due to nerve damage. Specifically, the primary dorsal rami of spinal nerves T2-T6 were affected, impacting sensation.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Anatomy

    Background:

    • Prolonged immobility, particularly in a supine position, can lead to various physiological complications.
    • Understanding the neuroanatomical structures at risk during extended bed rest is crucial for patient care.

    Observation:

    • A patient presented with sensory disturbances, specifically numbness, affecting the upper back region.
    • The onset of symptoms correlated with a period of prolonged bed rest in a supine position.

    Findings:

    • Diagnostic evaluations, including sweat testing and electromyography, confirmed neuropathies.
    • The identified neuropathies involved the primary dorsal rami of spinal nerves T2 through T6.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights a potential iatrogenic complication of prolonged bed rest affecting peripheral nerves.
