| 520 | |a Pseudoparalysis presenting in infants is a rare manifestation, where infection and trauma are the principle differentials.

A later diagnosis of osteomyelitis of the humerus and septic arthritis of the shoulder was made. Despite antibiotic therapy and surgical drainage, the proximal epiphysis of his humerus remains abnormal; however, he has no apparent functional deficit of his right arm at four-year follow-up. | ||
