Scope note: Afecciones neurológicas en adultos que se asocian con la exposición aguda o crónica al plomo o a cualquiera de sus sales. El síndrome neurológico que con mayor frecuencia se asocia con el plomo en los adultos está constituido por polineuropatía que afecta a las fibras motoras. Tiende a afectar a los nervios distales y puede presentarse como una caída de la muñeca producida por una NEUROPATÍA RADIAL. Otras características de la exposición crónica al plomo son ANEMIA, ESTREÑIMIENTO, dolores cólicos abdominales, líneas azules de plomo en las encías, NEFRITIS INTERSTICIAL y gota saturnínica. De modo infrecuente puede existir una encefalopatía. (Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p1212)

Scope note: Neurologic conditions in adults associated with acute or chronic exposure to lead or any of its salts. The most common lead related neurologic syndrome in adults consists of a polyneuropathy involving motor fibers. This tends to affect distal nerves and may present as wrist drop due to RADIAL NEUROPATHY. Additional features of chronic lead exposure include ANEMIA; CONSTIPATION; colicky abdominal pain; a bluish lead line of the gums; interstitial nephritis (NEPHRITIS, INTERSTITIAL); and saturnine gout. An encephalopathy may rarely occur. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p1212)
