A 63-year-old hypertensive and diabetic woman suddenly experienced severe pain in the back and abdomen of the left side. Sensory disturbance and muscle weakness in her left leg and urinary retention followed. Somatosensory evoked potential (SEP) indicated a thoracic cord lesion. Furthermore, MRI showed a focal lesion with a high signal intensity on T2-weighted images in the left posterolateral region of the cord Th4-9. She was diagnosed with posterior spinal artery syndrome (PSAS) due to spinal infarction by clinical presentation and MRI findings. Monoparesis can be caused by PSAS.

Depressed skull fracture is an inward buckling of the skull bones, often because of direct blow to a small surface area of the skull with a blunt object. Monoparesis is often among its clinical presentations, but midline depressed skull fracture presenting as motor weakness of both lower limbs (Paraperesis) has not yet been reported. We report the case of 55 year old male admitted to emergency department with alleged history of hit on head by a wooden rod. He had pain, mild swelling and a small cut over scalp without any symptoms & signs of neurological deficit. On day two of admission patient developed weakness of both lower limbs. On CT scan patient had bilateral depressed skull fracture of high parietal bone on either side of midline. Patient was managed conservatively, made remarkable recovery and was discharged after 2 weeks.
