1/3. Neurological complications of systemic sclerosis--a report of three cases and review of the literature.We report three cases of systemic sclerosis demonstrating four different neurological complications: trigeminal neuropathy, peripheral neuropathy, carpal-tunnel syndrome and prolonged response to local anaesthesia. A review of the literature reveals a wide range of neurological abnormalities associated with systemic sclerosis. When they occur, these are often presenting features.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = anaesthesia (Clic here for more details about this article) |

3/3. Acute carpal tunnel syndrome as a complication of oral anticoagulant therapy.Acute carpal tunnel syndrome is well recognized in patients with haemophilia and conservative management with factor replacement and temporary splinting is recommended. There have, however, been very few reported cases of acute carpal tunnel syndrome as a complication of oral anticoagulant therapy. We describe such a case in a patient on long-term warfarin anticoagulation, drawing attention to particular features of the history and clinical findings. In contrast to previous reports, we recommend prompt decompression under local anaesthesia and continuation of the anticoagulant therapy.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = anaesthesia (Clic here for more details about this article) |
