RESUMO

Spontaneous neuronal recovery is an expected phenomenon in brachial plexus palsy patients. However, the spontaneous recovery owing to retrograde regeneration is an evolving phenomenon with dearth of adequate research on it. Pectoralis major contraction on stimulation of median nerve (in the arm) is an unexpected phenomenon, in the absence of any anomalous communication and with distal coaptation site of intraplexal nerve repair. We presumably attribute it to the retrograde regrowth of axons. The case described supports our hypothesis. Level of Evidence: Level V (Therapeutic).

RESUMO

Epilepsy affects 1 and 2 percent of the worldwide population, while temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) covers 40 percent of all epilepsy cases. Controversy in defining epilepsy as a neurodegenerative disease exists because, no there is enough evidence to show seizures and status epilepticus (SE) as cause for irreversible neuronal damage. Epileptogenic insult at the beginning of the disease produces an acute and delayed neuronal death, resulting in gliosis, but also triggers compensatory processes such as angiogenesis, cell proliferation and reorganization of extracellular matrix as receptors, channels and drug transporter proteins. In neurogenesis and axonal regrowth, the age of onset is crucial for the formation of abnormal neurons and aberrant circuits as a result of seizures; approximately 30 percent begin in the temporal lobe. These disturbances continue in parallel or sequentially during the course of epilepsy, which implies a great challenge in the search of new treatments...


La epilepsia es una enfermedad que afecta entre el 1 al 2 por ciento de la población mundial, siendo la epilepsia del lóbulo temporal (ELT) la que abarca el 40 por ciento de todos los casos de epilepsia. La controversia en definir a la epilepsia como una enfermedad neurodegenerativa, se debe a que no hay pruebas suficientes que demuestren como las convulsiones y el estado de mal epiléptico (SE) provocan un daño neuronal irreversible. El insulto epileptógenico presente al inicio de la enfermedad genera la muerte neuronal aguda y tardía, para dar lugar a la gliosis; pero también se desencadenan procesos compensatorios como la angiogénesis, la proliferación celular y una reorganización tanto de la matriz extracelular como de los receptores, canales y proteínas transportadoras de fármacos. En el caso de la neurogénesis y recrecimiento axonal, la edad de inicio es determinante para la formación de neuronas anormales y circuitos aberrantes como consecuencia de las convulsiones, dónde aproximadamente un 30 por ciento comienzan en el lóbulo temporal. Estas alteraciones se continúan en paralelo o de forma secuencia! durante la evolución de la epilepsia, lo que implica un gran desafío en la búsqueda de nuevos tratamientos...
