Neurophysiological evaluation of associated demyelinating peripheral neuropathy and multiple sclerosis: a case report.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A case of combined multiple sclerosis and demyelinating neuropathy is presented. Percutaneous electrical stimulation of the cortex and spinal cord has shown that pyramidal tract conduction time was prolonged and conduction velocity in the cord was 4 m/s. Motor conduction velocity in proximal segments of peripheral nerves was slowed to the same extent as in distal segments.

Multiple Sclerosis and Peripheral Multifocal Demyelinating Neuropathies Occurring in a Same Patient
The co-occurrence of multiple sclerosis and peripheral demyelinating neuropathy is rare. It has been disputed whether these are pathologically related or coincidental findings. We report a 36-year-old woman who presented with diplopia, right facial palsy and left-sided weakness. Brain magnetic resonance imaging showed a lesion indicative of central demyelinating disease. Nerve conduction studie...
متن کاملA Case of Paraneoplastic Demyelinating Motor Polyneuropathy
Peripheral neuropathy is commonly accompanied by cancer but demyelinating ones are not commonly reported. We report the clinical, neurophysiological, and biological characteristics of an 82-year-old patient who presented with a demyelinating motor neuropathy and high titre of anti-ganglioside antibodies associated with oesophageal cancer. The neurological course worsened rapidly despite immunot...

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is common in the general population and may coincide with disease in the central and peripheral nervous system. Interferon-alpha (IFN-alpha) is used as treatment for HCV infection. The therapeutic benefit is assumed to result from activation of natural killer cells and CD8+ T cells. Despite its beneficial effects, it has been associated with a number of autoimm...
متن کاملUpdate on riboflavin and multiple sclerosis: a systematic review
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system (CNS). Riboflavin plays an important role in myelin formation, and its deficiency is implicated as a risk factor for multiple sclerosis. Here, we systematically reviewed the literature concerning the health benefits of riboflavin on MS. The literature recorded within four main databases, including rel...
