Peripheral neuropathy associated with sicca syndrome.

our review of apraxia following deep cerebral lesion and we acknowledge their priority in the investigation of this subject. We are not certain, however, that the evidence they have presented in support of the deep nuclei involvement in limb apraxia is compelling. Most of their patients scored 15 out of 20 on the imitation test, which is just two points below the cut-off score reported by De Renzi, et al' (Agostoni et al did not have a control group). One wonders whether such a marginal deficit on a single test deserves the label of apraxia, all the more so as of the seven patients they report, three had damage to the right brain, an amazingly high proportion for a symptom that is classically associated with left hemisphere disease.
