Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Frontiers in Neurology"
DOI: 10.3389/fneur.2020.00081
Abstract: Paroxysmal sympathetic hyperactivity (PSH) has predominantly been described after traumatic brain injury (TBI), which is associated with hyperthermia, hypertension, tachycardia, tachypnea, diaphoresis, dystonia (hypertonia or spasticity), and even motor features such as extensor/flexion posturing. Despite… read more here.
