"Numb chin syndrome": first presenting syndrome of multiple sclerosis?
The numb chin syndrome may be the initial presentation of a clinically isolated syndrome suggestive of multiple sclerosis. Prophylactic immunomodulatory treatment may be started after the suspicion of inflammatory/demyelinating activity is confirmed.
Preoperative stay in an intensive care unit and, to a lesser degree, low gestational age are associated with an increased SSI rate.
