I asked this question about a week ago: I have to do a science project about a very specific problem in a system. I have two requests: 1. Could you please tell me everything you know about this? -from causes, treatments, symptoms, anything 2. Would you consider this problem in the musculature system, brain/nervous system, or another system? I'm opened to links also. Thanks so much in advance! a user, greydoc6 answered it and gave me some wonderful information, and now I have some more questions to ask about it. He does not allow users to contact him, which i respect, so I'm asking y'all. hold on, I'm going to add the rest in details: so this was his answer: Monoplegia is paralysis of a single limb. It is usually due to damage to one or several spinal nerve dorsal ganglia, or to a local region of the cord itself, or to a peripheral nerve or nerve plexus. I have seen monoplegia result from polio, from a stroke where the patient hemorrhaged into the area of the brain supplied by the right middle cerebral artery (This actually resulted in monoparesis, not monoplegia), and from a birth injury (Erb-Duchenne paralysis due to brachial plexus injury in a breech birth). I have also seen monoplegia as a result of a hysterical or conversion reaction, and from reflex sympathetic dystrophy. Then there is traumatic monoplegia resulting from damage to a peripheral nerve as a result of accident, knife wound, gunshot or other injury. The problem is mainly in the brain and nervous system, including psychiatric causes. So my questions: I was born with monoplegia, but I don't know why, is this a common case, or do you think if I asked, the doctors could tell me why I have it. They've never mentioned anything, so I assumed they didn't know. And he mentioned monoparesis. I was diagnosed with monoplegia, however, my limb is not paralyzed. It is just weak. Does this mean I really have monoparesis, or is it possible that my leg was at once paralzyed, but I have strengthened it? Sorry, I'd like to update something: I just found out that the doctors say that I got monoplegia in my development before I was born, however that's all they know. I wasn't diagnosed with it until I started walking because that is when they noticed it. Is it possible that this is the only information they will ever know. Do you know of any cases of monoplegia that developed in a babies development, if so, what were the causes? thanks for reading all this! Thank you so much! Although this is a project, it has leaded me to so many more questions about my own case. I didn't have an MRI- doctors said it would only show where the monoplegia came from, and as a little girl, my parents didn't want to put me through the risks of anesthesia.

Could you please tell me any known treatments for Monoplegia or Monoparesis? I'm doing a project about it and can't seem to find any information on this. Links would also be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!
