  • Title: Lower extremity monoparesis after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage.
    Author: Kostov D, Jankowitz B, Kanaan H, Engh J, Monaco EA, Kanter AS, Horowitz M.
    Journal: Clin Neurol Neurosurg; 2010 Oct; 112(8):710-2. PubMed ID: 20483532.
    Abstract:
    Two patients presented with acute subarachnoid hemorrhage from a ruptured intracranial aneurysm. Both patients were treated via endovascular coil embolization, and both developed delayed lower extremity monoparesis without associated symptoms that resolved over the ensuing months. An extensive work-up lead us to propose the following hypothesis: the painless peripheral neuropathy likely resulted from nerve root irritation from abundant subarachnoid blood in the lumbar cistern.
