Septo-optic dysplasia (SOD), also known as de-Morsier's syndrome, is a rare disorder with more than two of optic nerve hypoplasia, pituitary gland hypoplasia, or midline brain abnormalities including absence of septum pellucidum and/or corpus callosal agenesis. Most cases of SOD are sporadic, but there are cases of patients who have familial history of SOD.
Man-in-the-barrel syndrome (MIBS) is a clinical syndrome of bilateral upper limb weakness with normal lower extremity function. It can be caused by various neurological conditions such as bilateral cerebral hypoperfusion, syringomyelia, motor neuron disease, or cervical myelopathies. We report a patient with MIBS after cervical spinal cord ischemia. It is postulated to be caused by ischemic insults of anterior spinal artery from repeated and prolonged neck extension.
