    Author: Yeşilova Z, Naharci I, Uygun A, Ulaş HU, Dağalp K.
    Journal: Turk J Gastroenterol; 2006 Mar; 17(1):58-61. PubMed ID: 16830280.
    Abstract:
    We describe an axonal motor polyneuropathy in a patient with ulcerative colitis. Symptoms of neuropathy occurred during active colitis. Electrophysiological study showed motor axonal degeneration. After treatment with steroid added to mesalazine, the patient had a gastrointestinal recovery and neurological symptoms were improved. Axonal motor polyneuropathy is an unusual extraintestinal manifestation of ulcerative colitis, and is probably associated with an autoimmune process.
