    Answers in the thread. Never seen this.

    I read about it in school, but holy crap.

      I was too scared to watch the video. The description in the Wiki link was enough. :eek

        Can tetanus or strychnine poisoning not manifest similarly?

        Edit: I have now read the complete WiKi link and did some more digging. Yes both can. Carry on.

        Not good.

        Elbows up!

            @George-K said in Today's Medical Mysterie:

            Opisthotonus

            https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opisthotonus

            Opisthotonus is more pronounced in infants. Opisthotonus in the neonate may be a symptom of meningitis, tetanus, severe kernicterus, or the rare maple syrup urine disease.

            I had never heard of this until it came out on my ‘carrier report’ from 23andMe.

            The whole reason we call them illegal aliens is because they’re subject to our laws.

              I'm surprised that they let this progress to this extent.

              If this were my patients I'd paralyze them, ventilate and sedate - let the ID guys figure out how to deal with the toxins.
