Flashcards & Bookmarks ? Flashcards ? My bookmarks ? Mentioned in ? References in periodicals archive ? Monoplegia One limb, usually arm; probably reflects a mild hemiplegia.

Focal neurological deficits were seen in 5 (18.51%) patients, in which 3 (11.11%) patients had hemiplegia, 1 had monoplegia and the other one was quadriplastic (Table 4).

These include coma, hemiplegia, paraplegia, monoplegia , cranial nerve palsy, speech disturbance, sensory impairment, etc.

Patterns of weakness (Appendix Figure 1) included acute monoplegia (weakness or paralysis of 1 limb, n = 5); asymmetric upper (n = 1) or lower (n = 5) extremity weakness; and generalized asymmetric tetraplegia or quadriplegia (asymmetric weakness in >3 limbs, n = 16).

Differential diagnoses included meningoencephalitis with associated motor polyradiculopathy and monoplegia secondary to stroke.
