Eventually, most muscular function is affected so patients can lose their ability to talk, swallow and eventually to breathe.[neurologycenter.com]
Multifocal Motor Neuropathy
In the first patient the symptoms were slowly progressive with bulbar muscle impairment, generalized weakness, muscular atrophy with cramps and fasciculations.[moh-it.pure.elsevier.com]
Arachnoiditis
Involvement of the central nervous system (CNS) by tuberculosis is rare; it can affect either immunocompromised or immunocompetent people. Here, we report a case of tuberculosis with CNS involvement. We present the case of an immunocompetent young man who developed fever, subacute headache, disturbance of[…][ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
