To explore the previously undescribed phenomenon of phantom limb generation in patients with severe acute inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (AIDP).
Between April 2011 and January 2014, we encountered 3 patients with AIDP in our intensive care unit who experienced features of self-limited supernumerary phantom limbs (SPLs) during their course.
The following case series describes the phenomenon of SPLs in AIDP.
This report aims to raise awareness of the possibility of SPLs in the course of AIDP. The pathophysiology and management strategies for this clinical phenomenon are unknown.
探讨严重急性炎症性脱髓鞘性多发性神经根神经病(AIDP)患者中此前未被描述的幻肢产生现象。
2011年4月至2014年1月期间,我们在重症监护病房遇到3例AIDP患者,他们在病程中出现了自限性多余幻肢(SPL)的特征。
以下病例系列描述了AIDP中的SPL现象。
本报告旨在提高对AIDP病程中出现SPL可能性的认识。这种临床现象的病理生理学和管理策略尚不清楚。
