Can ankle clonus disappear after cerebral hemorrhage?

summary

Ankle clonus is rarely seen in daily life, which is actually an indication of high enhancement of tendon reflex. The disease has a wide range of incidence, and can occur in any occasion with enhanced tendon reflex, including when there is no organic lesion in the nervous system. The clonus in neurosis and systemic hyperreflexia is different from that in organic lesions. The former is usually unstable, and the degree of performance on both sides is generally equal, without organic symptoms. The asymmetry of two reflexes indicates organic disease. The following will introduce the related content of ankle clonus in detail.

Can ankle clonus disappear after cerebral hemorrhage?

As a pathological reflex, ankle clonus is easy to be detected. Let the patient lie on his back, bend the hip joint and knee joint slightly, hold the lower leg of the patient, hold the distal end of the foot of the patient, and bend the ankle joint back with force, then the ankle joint shows rhythmic extension and flexion movement. In this way, it can be concluded that people have ankle clonus.

Ankle clonus often presents generalized tonic clonic seizures, also known as grand mal, which is one of the most common types of seizures, characterized by paroxysmal loss of consciousness and systemic symmetrical convulsions. The peak incidence of the disease is in 1 year and 14-17 years old, the attack frequency is variable, from several times a day to once a few years, generally 1-3 minutes to stop.

The disease can be prevented: when the aura is found, lie down nearby and fall down to prevent head injury. In addition, the occipital part of the patient should be supported with one hand to prevent fracture and dislocation caused by neck hyperextension. Make the patient's head to one side to prevent respiratory obstruction or aspiration pneumonia. Do not use excessive force or press forcefully to avoid fracture or injury.

matters needing attention

Finally, we should remind the majority of patients that although ankle clonus is not a serious disease, the dike of thousands of miles is destroyed in the ant nest, so we must not take it lightly. Once the condition worsens, we should seek medical treatment immediately, and one side should miss the best opportunity for treatment.
