Question: 1 / 400

Which of the following is NOT an outcome of Beck's syndrome?

Paralysis of the lower extremities

Enhanced sense of touch

Beck's syndrome, also known as syringomyelia, can lead to various neurological symptoms due to the formation of a cyst (syrinx) within the spinal cord. The outcomes associated with this condition typically include sensory deficits and motor dysfunction, which is why paralysis of the lower extremities, loss of temperature sensation, and orthostatic hypotension are all relevant symptoms.

The enhanced sense of touch is not characteristic of Beck's syndrome. In fact, this syndrome generally involves a loss of sensory function rather than an enhancement. Patients often experience a diminished ability to feel normally, especially with respect to temperature and pain, rather than an improved tactile sensation. Therefore, the absence of enhanced touch sensation aligns with the expected outcomes of this syndrome.
