Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the clinical value of Camdessanché's criteria for diagnosis of patients with sensory neuronopathies (SNN). Methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical, biochemical and electrophysiological data of 6 patients diagnosed as having SNN and 6 patients with non-SNN disease (but with similar symptoms), who were treated in Changhai Hospital from Dec. 2008 to Nov. 2014. Then the Camdessanché's criteria were used for diagnosis of SNN in the 12 patients, and the results were compared with those of empirical diagnosis. Results Four of the 6 SNN patients were classified as probable to have SNN by the Camdessanché's criteria; and two of the 6 SNN patients and one of the 6 non-SNN patients were classified as possible to have SNN. Conclusion The “probable” diagnosis of SNN in the Camdessanché's criteria has a greater value for diagnosis of SNN in Chinese, which still needs to be further confirmed by large sample study.
