[The autonomous quadrant-syndrome (author's transl)]

W Bayerl, K Fischer

    Archiv Fur Orthopadische Und Unfall-Chirurgie
    |June 26, 1977

    Summary

    Quadrant syndrome (Q.S.) is a vegetative nervous system disorder affecting one body quarter. Prompt treatment of peripheral nerve lesions, like median nerve compression, can resolve Q.S. symptoms effectively.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Autonomic Nervous System Disorders

    Background:

    • Quadrant syndrome (Q.S.) is a functional disturbance of the vegetative system.
    • Neurological manifestations of Q.S. can be mistaken for psychogenic disorders.
    • Q.S. affects peripheral nerve functions singly or collectively, with unpredictable duration.

    Observation:

    • Q.S. shares similarities with Sudeck's dystrophy and causalgia.
    • Peripheral lesions, particularly in extremities, can act as foci for Q.S.
    • A case report details an 18-year-old with median nerve compression developing Q.S. with anesthesia and analgesia.

    Findings:

    • Surgical decompression of the median nerve resolved Q.S. symptoms in the reported case.
    • Complete symptom resolution was observed six weeks post-surgery and maintained at six-month follow-up.
    • The study highlights the importance of addressing peripheral foci in Q.S. management.

    Implications:

    • Increased recognition of Q.S. is expected with consideration of its unique distribution pattern.
    • Treatment strategies may involve peripheral focus management and sympathectomy.
    • Preventive measures for common extremity lesions could mitigate Q.S. development.
