Atypical Electrophysiological Findings in a Patient with Acute Motor and Sensory Axonal Neuropathy
Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is an immune-mediated polyradiculoneuropathy with acute onset and rapid clinical worsening; early diagnosis and immunomodulating therapy can ameliorate the course of disease. During the first days, however, nerve conduction studies (NCSs) are not always conclusive. Here, we describe a 73-year-old man presenting with progressive muscular weakness of the lower limbs,...
متن کاملPolyneuropathy in hypothyroidism: clinical, electrophysiological and morphological findings in four cases.
Clinical, neurophysiological and morphological studies of four patients with polyneuropathy and secondary hypothyroidism are reported. Neurophysiological studies revealed signs of muscle denervation and reduction of conduction velocity in all the patients. Sural nerve biopsies showed axonal degeneration in all cases but one. All the patients were treated with replacement therapy and clinical sy...
متن کاملEarly Electrophysiological Abnormalities and Clinical Neuropathy
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to elucidate whether subclinical nerve dysfunction as reflected by neurophysiological testing predicts the development of clinical neuropathy in patients with type 1 diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Fifty-nine patients were studied twice with neurophysiological measurements at baseline and at follow-up. At baseline, patients were 15.5±3.22 years (range...
متن کاملHereditary motor and sensory neuropathy--Lom, a novel demyelinating neuropathy associated with deafness in gypsies. Clinical, electrophysiological and nerve biopsy findings.
A previously unrecognized neuropathy was identified in Bulgarian gypsies, and was designated hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy-Lom (HMSNL) after the town where the initial cases were found. It was subsequently identified in other gypsy communities. The disorder, which is of autosomal recessive inheritance, was mapped to chromosome 8q24. It begins consistently in the first decade of life w...
متن کاملRheumatoid neuropathy. Clinical and electrophysiological features.
CLINICAL ASPECTS From 1966 to 1969, 32 patients (12 male and 20 female) with classical or definite rheumatoid arthritis (Ropes, Bennett, Cobb, Jacox, and Jessar, 1959) were referred to us from routine clinics because of the presence of neurological abnormalities. Their ages ranged from 35 years to 77 years (mean 62). Patients were examined yearly in a special review clinic. No attempt was made ...
