Transthyretin amyloid polyneuropathies mimicking a demyelinating polyneuropathy

open access: yesNeurology, 2018
To clearly define transthyretin familial amyloid polyneuropathies (TTR-FAPs) fulfilling definite clinical and electrophysiologic European Federation of Neurological Societies/Peripheral Nerve Society criteria for chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP).From a cohort of 194 patients with FAP, 13 of 84 patients (15%) of French ancestry ...

Encephalomyelitis with polyneuropathy

Acta Neurologica Scandinavica, 2009
Four cases of progressive polyneuropathy and bulbar encephalitis and/or myelitis are described. A carcinoma was found in only one of the cases. It is emphasized that this syndrome may occur in the absence of malignant tumors.

Assessing grip strength in healthy individuals and patients with immune-mediated polyneuropathies

open access: yesMuscle and Nerve, 2000
Grip strength reference values for a portable dynamometer, the hand-held Vigorimeter, were calculated, and its validity, reliability, and responsiveness were examined in patients with immune-mediated polyneuropathies. We studied 530 healthy controls (age

Alcoholic Polyneuropathy

Acta Medica Scandinavica, 1985
AbstractAlcoholic polyneuropathy is a common disorder, characterized by nonspecific clinical, electromyographic, and pathologic features. Nerve conduction studies and needle electromyography disclose findings consistent with a generalized, sensorimotor, axonal degenerative, polyneuropathy.

Electrodiagnosis of polyneuropathy

Neurophysiologie Clinique/Clinical Neurophysiology, 2000
Electrodiagnostic studies comprising electromyography (EMG) and nerve conduction studies (NCS) are well-established objective methods for the diagnosis, quantification and classification of polyneuropathies (PNP). This paper reviews examination techniques, their pathophysiological interpretation, examination strategies and diagnostic criteria for the ...

Sensory Polyneuropathies

Continuum, 2017
This article describes the methods of diagnosis and management of the sensory-predominant polyneuropathies. To simplify the approach to this category of patients, sensory-predominant polyneuropathies are divided broadly into either small fiber (or pain-predominant) neuropathies and large fiber (or ataxia-predominant) neuropathies, of which the sensory ...

Disulfiram polyneuropathy

Clinical Neurology and Neurosurgery, 1984
Disulfiram in generally accepted maintenance doses in alcoholism may produce a rather severe polyneuropathy. In addition to the 39 literature cases, 5 personal patients were examined. Detailed clinical findings are given and the frequent permanent sequelae are emphasized.

Inherited Polyneuropathies

PM&R, 2013
AbstractThe large degree of clinical heterogeneity within each of the major categories of inherited neuropathies can lead to difficulties in making correct diagnoses based on clinical findings alone. The observation of key clinical findings coupled with electrophysiological findings and understanding of inheritance patterns, should allow the clinician ...

Driving with polyneuropathy

Muscle & Nerve, 2009
AbstractPolyneuropathy may result in pain, numbness, and weakness, which may in turn affect driving ability. Medications used to treat neuropathic pain may alter cognition, which may further affect driving. Although such impairments have engendered questions about the driving safety in this group of patients, the rate of motor vehicle accidents (MVAs ...
