  • Title: Multifocal sensory demyelinating neuropathy: Report of a case.
    Author: Oh SJ.
    Journal: Muscle Nerve; 2017 Oct; 56(4):825-828. PubMed ID: 28000233.
    Abstract:
    INTRODUCTION: Multifocal sensory demyelinating neuropathy has not been adequately reported in the literature. METHODS: A 42-year-old man with numbness of the left hand for 3 years and of the right hand for 6 months had a pure multifocal sensory neuropathy involving both hands, most prominently affecting 2-point discrimination, number writing, and object recognition of the left hand. Near-nerve needle sensory and mixed nerve conduction studies were performed on the left ulnar nerve. RESULTS: Studies of the left ulnar nerve documented a demyelinating neuropathy characterized by temporal dispersion and marked decrease in the amplitudes of the sensory and mixed compound nerve potentials in the above-elbow-axilla segment. With intravenous immunoglobulin treatment, there was improvement in his neuropathic condition. CONCLUSION: In this study I describe a case of multifocal sensory demyelinating neuropathy as a counterpart of multifocal motor neuropathy. Muscle Nerve 56: 825-828, 2017.
