  • Title: Partial conduction blocks in N-hexane neuropathy.
    Author: Pastore C, Izura V, Marhuenda D, Prieto MJ, Roel J, Cardona A.
    Journal: Muscle Nerve; 2002 Jul; 26(1):132-5. PubMed ID: 12115958.
    Abstract:
    Nerve conduction blocks, defined by a significant reduction in amplitude or area of the compound muscle action potential at proximal compared with distal sites of stimulation, have been described in glue-sniffers and in workers with industrial exposure at an early stage of n-hexane neuropathy. The frequency with which this focal conduction anomaly appears is described and discussed in the case of a very homogeneous group of 10 young workers diagnosed with n-hexane polyneuropathy. Partial conduction blocks occurred in only two workers and may have been related to the intensity and duration of toxic exposure.
