Abstract:
The clinical, neuroelectrophysiological, neuropathological characteristics and outcome of a case of acute sensory axonopathy are reported. The patient was a 32-year-old female. She presented with acute onset sensory abnormalities, sensory ataxia, pseudoathetosis and areflex. Lab testing showed cerebrospinal fluid albumin cytologic dissociation. Electromyography studies and sural nerve pathology were consistent with acute sensory axonopathy. Treatment including intravenous immunoglobulin and steroid therapy was provided. Her symptoms recovered slowly without relapse, so did tibial H-reflex amplitudes.
