Will ADH secretion increase progressively in undiagnosed and untreated cases of small cell cancer of lungs or it has no definite pattern?

[@parisahhussain9663]

I thought flaccid paralysis occurs when an LMN lesion occurs? You get spasticity in UMN lesion

[@MedFlixAndChill]

Parisah Hussain good question. Spinal shock is characterised by LMN signs before UMN signs so initially patients will have flaccid paralysis then after they develop spasticity.

[@parisahhussain9663]

MedFlix ahh yes that makes a lot more sense!
