Idiopathic, Progressive Mononeuropathy in Young People

L5 mononeuritis, an uncommon cause of foot drop: illustrative case

“…Engstrom et al 12 described 6 patients with idiopathic mononeuropathies of the lower limb; however, none of these patients had the radiological findings described in our case. 12 The patients described in their study presented with generalized weakness rather than an isolated foot drop. 12 …”

“…Engstrom et al 12 described 6 patients with idiopathic mononeuropathies of the lower limb; however, none of these patients had the radiological findings described in our case. 12 The patients described in their study presented with generalized weakness rather than an isolated foot drop. 12 Other recorded idiopathic mononeuropathies have been described as painless, chronic, progressive, and most commonly occurring in young men; interestingly, our patient presented with pain and sensory loss.…”

“…10,25 Other causes of neuropathy include repetitive trauma, ischemia, vasculitis, and demyelinating conditions. 2,8,12 Our patient had no history of trauma, and no evidence of demyelinating pathology on lumbar puncture.…”

Symptomatic Progression of Congenital Ulnar Nerve Hypoplasia with Brachial Plexus Anomaly

“…14 The only other report of progressive mononeuropathy identified in children was of six cases in the lower extremity determined to be idiopathic. 23 Our reported case presents many unusual features. The plexus anatomy itself was unique, with complete dissociation of the medial cord and ulnar nerve, usually the most directly continuous group of fibers in the lower plexus.…”
