It has been associated with a variety of peripheral and central nervous system diseases. Pathophysiology is unclear and treatment approaches remain largely empirical. CLINICAL CASE: We report a case of a 42-year-old women with typical presentation of PLMT syndrome, associated with lumbar (L(5)) disc prolapse. Oxcarbazepine gave a partial improvement.
CONCLUSION: Clinical presentations and etiological aspects of the PLMT syndrome are described and pathophysiological mechanisms and therapeutic possibilities discussed. | | Language | FRE | | Pub Type(s) | JOURNAL ARTICLE
