RESUMO
Os autores apresentam o caso de uma mulher portadora da síndrome de Down com um quadro de paraparesia assimétrica de maior gravidade no lado esquerdo há sete meses, sem sintomas sensitivos ou autonômicos. Foi encaminhada para realização de investigação neurofisiológica especificamente a eletroneuromiografia. Os autores descrevem a estratégia da investigação neurofisiológica para evidenciar a mielopatia e demonstram a presença de subluxação atlanto-axial por Raio X e Tomografia computadorizada.
ABSTRACT
The authors present a clinical case of a woman with Down syndrome and an asymmetric paraparesis, more severe on the left side, for seven months, without sensory or autonomic symptoms. She was sent for neurophysiological evaluation, specifically electromyography. The authors describe a neurophysiological strategy in order to evidence the involvement of cervical medulla and conluded to be a cases of atlanto-axial subluxation by X-ray and Computed Tomography.
