“…Although similar distal atrophy of forearm and hand can be observed in the early stages of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, there are typical fasciculations in the upper aspect of the arm during rest. 15 The patient did not have similar fasciculations.…”

Hirayama disease (HD) is a rare motor neuron disorder that involves a single upper extremity. It is clinically characterized by weakness and atrophy of the muscles of the hand and forearm. This article presents a 19-year-old woman who visited the orthopedics outpatient clinic with weakness and atrophy in her right hand and was clinically diagnosed with advanced stage carpal tunnel syndrome and scheduled for surgical intervention; she was later diagnosed with HD by an electrophysiological study. As a result, it has been found that a careful electrophysiological study and neurological examination can be used to diagnose HD. In this way, advanced stage carpal tunnel syndrome will be ruled out and patients will be spared from an unnecessary surgical operation.

We treated 28 patients with anterior cranial fossa floor fractures. Computed tomography (CT) scans adjusted to bone density disclosed three fracture types: (1) penetrating fractures through the orbita or ethmoid sinus; (2) simple or multiple linear fractures; and (3) extensive comminuted anterior cranial fossa floor fractures. Thirteen patients underwent emergent surgery for treatment of open depressed fractures (most common in type 3 fractures), for foreign bodies (in type 1 fractures), and for optic canal decompression. Large dural lacerations were always present in patients with type 3 fractures, and repairs were made with dural substitutes. Only one patient developed postoperative cerebrospinal fluid leakage. Nine (32%) of the patients in our series had visual involvement, but visual acuity recovered or improved in six patients. Our study shows that initial neuroradiologic evaluation with CT scans is important in patients with frontobasal fractures, and that secure dural repair during primary operation helps prevent cerebrospinal fluid leakage.
