Primary Sensory Neuropathy

'Primary sensory neuropathy with muscular changes associated with carcinoma'. Editorial.

Among the many clinical forms of polyneuritis, one that affects sensory function alone is sufficiently unusual to attract more than passing attention. In milder forms of infective polyneuritis and in unusual post-diphtheritic cases the clinical phenomena may be predominantly sensory, but evidence of muscular weakness and wasting, particularly in proximal muscle groups, can usually be demonstrat...

Hereditary sensory neuropathy type

Hereditary sensory neuropathy type I (HSN I) is a slowly progressive neurological disorder characterised by prominent predominantly distal sensory loss, autonomic disturbances, autosomal dominant inheritance, and juvenile or adulthood disease onset. The exact prevalence is unknown, but is estimated as very low. Disease onset varies between the 2nd and 5th decade of life. The main clinical featu...

Hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathy: A case report

A 24-year old female patient with the history of pressure ulcers in distal extremities resulted in severe deformity will be reported. Her disease started when she was 9 years old and a similar history was found in her brother. In physical examination, pain and temperature sensations were impaired in distal extremities. Nerve conduction velocity showed impaired sensory and normal motor responses...

Goiter and Laryngeal Sensory Neuropathy

Objective. Examining the prevalence of laryngeal sensory neuropathy (LSN) in goiter patients versus a control group. Study Design. Cross-sectional study. Methods. 33 Goiter patients were enrolled versus 25 age-matched controls. TSH levels, size of thyroid gland, and presence or absence of thyroid nodules were reported. Subjects were asked about the presence or absence of any of the following sy...
