CC
2-yr Indian girl admitted for R/O peripheral avulsion secondary to traumatic Right BKA.
HPI
Approx 1–1½ yrs ago Deepa was involved in a train accident → traumatic Right BKA and her mother was killed. Her parents adopted her 5/7/82 (19 mos old). She had never had any use of her remaining Right leg prior to adoption. Parents noted that the leg was a “flail leg.” They took her to an amputee clinic at Kernan Hosp (Dr Decker / orthopedics). Arthrogram was done at Kernan (read by Dr Garfinkel) showing dysplastic Right acetabulum probably secondary to repeated subluxations of Right femoral head.
An EMG was also performed; no official report is available, but in a correspondence it was said that EMG showed no visible muscle action potentials in the anterior or posterior aspects of the Right thigh. The parents contacted Dr Campbell in....
#2. ...hope of the possibility of restoration, at least in part, of function of the muscle groups of the Right thigh in order to facilitate the use of a prosthesis. She is admitted for closer evaluation of the neural and neuromuscular function of Right thigh and hip, including myelogram with the possibility of grafting other motor nerves into the sciatic nerve.
history:
Birth / Dev – unknown.
Immunizations – 2 so far (2 DPTs).
Infectious – relat on 5/82; giardia since 5/82.
Meds: Furazone 3.75 cc QID (50 mg/15 ml) – giardia.
Allergies – diarrhea ↑ milk drinking.
Hosp: Kernan Hosp ~6/82 for arthrogram Right hip.
History: unknown.
History:
Lives with 2 adopted brothers, mother + father.
Father – psychiatrist in Columbia, MD.
Insurance – BS/BS.

(leg with flaccid thigh muscles)
Clinical findings of flaccid thigh muscles seem already clear.
Neurodiagnosis after findings at Kernan anticipated to lead findings or hypothesis of findings at Hopkins with further investigation.

Referrals as above Thank you Dr Schneider
9/22/82 1 pm: Orthopaedics have seen Deepa — comment awaiting.
• Neuromuscular are coming; EMG etc.
At present we have a GA [illegible] myelogram + CT arranged for

but probably will not need it.
• Dr Campbell will be seeing.
9/22/82 Pt appears to have no
motor function in RLE c? L2
sensory level. Myelogram will
be needed to determine if avulsion
is present. No avulsion — explore
plexus / sciatic. If avulsion then
#11. Ped AR note:
Attending: Dr. Singh
Senior Resident: Dr. Shinnar
Resident: Dr. Johnson
History — from adoptive mother and previous medical notes.
2 year old Indian female brought to Johns Hopkins by her adoptive parents for investigation of flail limb.
Sometime ago in India Deepa & her mother are believed to have been involved in a train accident. Apparently this killed her mother and left Deepa with an above knee amputation which is reported as being present as normal.
She has come to the USA in May & has been adopted by Dr. & Mrs. Long. Since her arrival the residual nature of the stump has been appreciated and investigated. Dr. Wexler has shown no EMG activity in the muscles of the stump and Kernan Hospital are making a prosthesis. This admission has been planned to evaluate the neurological status of the stump and consider any actual therapy.
#12. has been planned to evaluate the neurological status of the stump and consider any actual therapy.
PMH: As above.
Chronic diarrhoea since immigration.
Had one course of furazolidine for giardia but this has recurred.
Currently on 2nd course.
No allergies.
FH: nil known.
SH: Adopted by Dr. & Mrs. Long.
Dr. Long is a psychiatrist.
2 sibs – 7, 10 boys. well.
ROS / Development:
💚 May 82 she had vocab of 50 two-word phrases.
By 3 weeks she had 50 + English words, now using sentences.
Mobility – by crawling or just now able to 1-foot hop with support. 💚
#13. to lead. Possible old injury of the Right lower nerves L2 and of cord.
Was possibly injured at the L1 level (note: interjection “Avulsed roots proximal to dorsal ganglion” appears to be in Dr. Rechtshaffen’s handwriting and pen)
accounting for the sensory failing.
Very unusual case — if she’d [illegible] awake a more definitive diagnosis.
C.F. Batzle, Ph.D.
E. Rechtshaffen, M.D.
Addendum: The most definite statement I can make is that she has long-standing denervation of muscles innervated by L2–S2 on the right. The L1 pin level suggests associated sensory denervation L2–S4. By hx there is intact sympathetic function in the (R) leg. She may have had 2 events. If this is all due to the accident then the most probable cause is avulsion of roots on the Right from L2–S4.
Suggest: Thermography of Right leg
Myelogram
[signed] Rechthand
Thank you. Plan for myelogram 10/5/82, 12 noon.
Home meanwhile on Metronidazole × 10, 100 mg Q8H.
Lactose function on cath urine suggest E. coli.
2-hr stool investigation showed heavy VUCG infection.
After Rx → re-admit for myelogram.

Admitted: 9/21/82
Discharged: 9/23/82
DISCHARGE SUMMARY:
REFERRING PHYSICIAN: Dr. James Campbell, JHH Neurosurgery
ATTENDING PHYSICIAN: Dr. James Campbell
SAR: Dr. Shlomo Shinnar
RESIDENT: Dr. G. Johnson
ADMITTING PROBLEM: Investigation of flail above knee amputation of the right leg.
HISTORY OF PRESENTING COMPLAINT: Deepa is a child 🚩who has been adopted from India recently in May by Dr. and Mrs. Long. She was involved in a train accident in India about a year ago and her mother died and she had amputation of her right leg 🚩above the knee (below knee). Since then she has been in a nursery and 🚩has been adopted as mentioned above in May this year.
When the Long's had Deepa arrive they found that she had a flail leg without hip muscular movement and have been investigating this since then. To the current admission for myelography and for a need of possible surgery follow up.
On admission examination 💚 Deepa is a active lass who is well proportioned and is quite mobile hopping on her left foot. She has this currently in good physical condition. Weight on admission is 3rd percentile, length for 25th percentile and head in the 10th percentile. Head was normocephalic and teeth were satisfactory. Chest was clear. Abdomen had no masses. Liver edge was palpable and genitalia showed a slight irritation in vulva. Left leg is satisfactory except she has some scarring consistent with skin grafts being taken and also placed outside of her left thigh. The right leg has an above knee amputation. The stump which is soft and flabby. She in this area has reduced muscle mass and power. She is unable to flex or extend her hip and has considerable wasting of the glutel. Sensation is normal left but on the right she has only pin prick above the level of L-1. Rectal sphincter tone appeared to be normal.
HOSPITAL COURSE: She had an EMG which confirmed longstanding denervation of muscles up to L-1 on the right. The L-1 level was shown associated with sensory denervation of L-2 to S-1 and it is probably by history clinically evident. Myelogram unfortunately was not able to be organized. She will be admitted again on 10/4/82 for this.
Other problems. On transfer U.S. Deepa was found to have Giardia and has been treated Furmazoliodine and apparently still got this giardia is actively on a course at present. During her hospital stay we introduced Metronidazole and this appeared to have immediate affect in reducing her diarrhea and she will continue to use this at home. On treating her vulva irritation, it was found that she had a urinary tract infection and she was given Bactrim on discharge for this. The results of a infection work up of the E. Coli is the organism which is resistant Trimethoprim and Sulfamethoxazole and sensitive to the glycosides and Furadantin but insufficient differential for us to change to this medication and for us to consider using a CMG to check on the neurogenic data problem if myelography shows a change in problem.
