Autonomic dysreflexia
Journal Title: Nepal Journal of Neuroscience - Year 2004, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Autonomic dysreflexia (AD) is a common entity detected in patients with complete paraplegia with legion at or higher than sixth thoracic (T6) neurologic level. But AD due to lesions below T6 is rare. We report on the diagnosis and treatment of a 36-year old woman with autonomic dysreflexia following a tubercular involvement of first lumbar vertebra with paraparesis. In addition we review the literature.
