Prognosis
Prognosis - Vacuolar myopathy Not supplied. Treatment - Vacuolar myopathy Although vitamin B12 deficiency has been linked to myelopathy, research suggests that its deficiency is not the cause of myelopathy in people with AIDS. [checkorphan.org]
MRI T2 : thoracic hyperintense signal involving the dorsal columns ( inverted "V" sign ), although less commonly lateral tracts of the spinal cord may also be affected; very rarely is there involvement of the anterior spinal cord Treatment and prognosis [radiopaedia.org]
Prognosis for hollow visceral myopathy is poorer in the neonatal period than in childhood or adulthood. 7 Gastrointestinal involvement seems to be the limiting factor in prognosis of such children as parentral nutrition with its associated complications [jpma.org.pk]
The prognosis of VM is poor. Most patients die within 6 months of onset. Clinical Presentation Vacuolar myelopathy (VM) typically presents as a posterolateral spinal cord syndrome often limited to the thoracic cord. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Etiology
The etiology of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is related to mutations in sarcomere proteins and sarcomere-related proteins. [materials.uscap.org]
Background: Hereditary myosin myopathies have been recognized as an etiology for weakness with highly variable clinical features and onset from neonatal period to adulthood. [n.neurology.org]
[…] and prognosis Treatment options include: halting exposure to nitrous oxide high dose of intramuscular vitamin B 12, followed by oral supplementation methionine supplementation has also been used 2 On imaging, the differential diagnosis includes: other etiologies [radiopaedia.org]
Besides HIV, other etiologies of mononeuropathy multiplex include hepatitis B infection, diabetes, herpes zoster, and neoplastic infiltration of nerve. [hivinsite.ucsf.edu]
The etiology is uncertain, but it has been associated with muscular spasms of the pelvic floor (3), and structural and functional alterations of the IAS (4,5). [scielo.isciii.es]
