Pinto A1, Santos E, Correa DF, Escada R, Vorsatz Cde M, Cardoso SW, Lima MA.Author information 1Instituto de Pesquisa Clínica Evandro Chagas, FIOCRUZ, Rio de Janeiro, RJ, Brazil.AbstractWhile CMV myeloradiculitis is a known complication in AIDS patients with severe immunosuppression, HSV-2 necrotizing myeloradiculitis is rare and often associated with disabling a fatal outcome. We hereby describe a 46 year-old HIV infected patient with profound and sustained immunosuppression who presented with an acute ascending paraparesis and urinary retention. Lumbar spine MRI showed contrast enhancement at the conus medullaris and cauda equine, and both CMV and HSV-2 CSF PCR were positive. Despite treatment, the patient died 20 days later. We review the main diagnostic and therapeutic aspects of herpes virus associated myeloradiculitis and discuss the approach in similar cases.

Office evaluation of spine and limb pain: spondylotic radiculopathy and other nonstructural mimickers.

Watson J.Author information Department of Neurology, Pain Division, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN 55905, USA. watson.james@mayo.eduAbstractLow back and neck pain, with or without radiculopathy, are one of the most common reasons for referral to an outpatient neurology practice. Determining appropriate treatment relies on establishing an accurate diagnosis of the etiology of the spine or limb pain. The author reviews structural radiculopathies as a result of diskogenic and spondylotic etiologies with an emphasis on the clinical approach and evaluation of these patients (including imaging and electrodiagnostics), identifying management altering neurogenic mimickers of structural radiculopathies (such as infectious, inflammatory, and neoplastic myeloradiculitis and radiculoplexopathies), and stratifying patients for treatment.
