from USMLE DREAMERS · host USMLE DREAMERS

Niña de 6 años con parálisis cerebral espástica por lesión de sustancia blanca periventricular es sometida a rizotomía dorsal selectiva (selective dorsal rhizotomy), donde se seccionan rootlets (raíces) dorsales lumbosacras. En este episodio conectamos neuroanatomía y reflejos medulares para entender por qué esta cirugía disminuye el tono muscular al interrumpir la aferencia sensitiva del reflejo de estiramiento (stretch reflex), sin causar parálisis.#USMLEDreamers #USMLEStep1 #Neuroanatomía #ParálisisCerebral #Espasticidad #ReflejoDeEstiramiento #DorsalRoot #Rizotomía
