Clinical Reasoning: Adult Patient Presenting With Spine Pain Following a Motor Vehicle Accident

Vaishnavi Sharma, Oscar Soto

Summary: A 52-year-old woman with a complex medical history, including consanguinity, presented with refractory spine pain after a motor vehicle accident. Neurophysiologic evaluation revealed myotonic discharges, fibrillations, and positive sharp waves in paraspinal and trunk muscles, confirming a rare treatable myopathy. This case demonstrates the importance of neurophysiologic assessment in clarifying clinical and imaging data and aiding early diagnosis.

Summary: Vaccination with Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) can be harmful for patients with adenosine deaminase deficiency (ADA-SCID). BCG vaccination in ADA-SCID patients resulted in a high incidence of complications due to uncontrolled replication of mycobacterium. However, all patients who developed BCG-related disease were successfully treated and remained disease-free. Prompt initiation of enzyme replacement therapy and secondary prophylaxis are recommended to reduce the risk of BCG-related complications in ADA-SCID patients.

Theo Maulet, Celine Bonnyaud, Catherine Weill, Pascal Laforet, Thomas Cattagni

Summary: This scoping review aimed to summarize current knowledge about motor function in late-onset Pompe disease (LOPD). Studies showed that LOPD patients experience significant weakness in motor function, especially in the hip and lumbar muscles. They exhibit limited locomotor activities with reduced walking distance, modification of spatiotemporal gait parameters, and increased pelvic drop and tilt. Balance disorders are also observed in LOPD patients, especially in the anteroposterior direction.
