Abstract
Exercise-induced weakness (fatiguing) is described in three patients with cervical compressive radiculopathy. In all three cases, the patients had symptoms only while at work, and in two cases, symptoms occurred in life-threatening situations. All patients had seen several physicians with a functional diagnosis being considered in all cases because of symptoms only at work and the absence of objective findings during examination. Precise history and examination techniques led to the correct diagnosis and treatment after appropriate investigation. The fatiguing weakness in our cases is thought to be a manifestation of early or mild neurologic involvement unmasked by exercise, rather than a manifestation of compression or ischemia.
