Peripheral neuropathy is a rare manifestation of sarcoidosis, and previous studies have shown axonal degeneration as the main pathology. We herein report three patients with sarcoidosis who presented with multiple mononeuropathy as the initial manifestation. Nerve conduction studies showed prominent multifocal conduction blocks in the intermediate nerve trunk. In all three patients, corticoster...

High index of clinical suspicion of vasculitis should be in the mind of practicing physician when he encounters a patient with unexplained ischemia or multiple organ involvement in the form of arthritis, palpable purpura, glomerlonephritis or multiple mononeuropathy. When systemic vasculitis is suspected the first step is to exclude other processes such as connective tissue disorders (RA, SLE, ...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) among dairy workers. METHODS Sixty-six dairy parlor workers and 58 non-parlor workers at dairies in Texas, New Mexico, and Colorado participated in structured interviews regarding demographics, work history, and hand symptoms. All participants had nerve conduction studies performed on both han...

The term peripheral neuropathy refers to disorders of the nervous system (PNS) including single and multiple (asymmetric) mononeuropathies, symmetrical involvement many nerves (polyneuropathy). Further classification depends on a mixture phenomenological, neurophysiological, pathological aetiological parameters. temporal evolution symptoms divides polyneuropathy (PN) into acute or chronic. Acut...

INTRODUCTION To investigate the existence of peripheral and optic neuropathies in asymptomatic individuals with hepatitis C infection. METHODS Thirty consecutive patients who were followed in a hepatitis C outpatient clinic were recruited for electrophysiological evaluation together with 30 age- and gender-compatible healthy controls. All patients had a detailed neurological examination. The ...

The incidence of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in Australia is estimated at 0.05% of the population. The majority of these patients will choose haemodialysis as the preferred form of renal replacement therapy, requiring creation of an arteriovenous fistula (AVF). The subsequent haemodynamic disturbance can lead to neurological or ischaemic problems. The reported frequency of such complications...

Nociceptive nerves innervate the skin and play an important role in the generation of neuropathic pain. However, it remains elusive whether and how nociceptive nerve terminals degenerate in neuropathic pain conditions. To address this issue, we investigated cutaneous innervation in a model of painful mononeuropathy, the chronic constriction injury (CCI). The hind paws of rats were immunocytoche...

INTRODUCTION Neurological involvements were shown in 20% of patients with Primary Sjogren's Syndrome (pSS). Neurological symptoms may be the first signs of pSS in 57% of the cases. In addition, early diagnosis and treatment of neurological disorders may save or improve the quality of life of these cases. There have been reports about the neurologic manifestations of pSS but little is known abou...

We used electrophysiologic criteria to identify median mononeuropathy (MM) at the nondominant wrist among 414 patients enrolled in a multicenter study of patients with mild diabetic neuropathy according to consensus recommendations. Patients with absent sural or peroneal responses or greater than mild symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome were ineligible. Ninety-five of 414 participants (23%) fulf...
