Acute and Chronic Polyradiculopathies

Continuum, 2011
Polyradiculopathies are uncommon peripheral nervous system syndromes that result from a variety of conditions. The clinical manifestations are variable but often include symmetric or asymmetric distal and proximal weakness with a variable degree of sensory loss and reduction or loss of reflexes.

Two cases of chronic immune sensorimotor polyradiculopathy: Expanding the spectrum of chronic immune polyradiculopathies

Muscle & Nerve, 2016
ABSTRACTIntroduction: Immune‐mediated demyelinating radiculopathies restricted to proximal sensory or motor roots are uncommon. Methods: We report the clinical, electrophysiological, biochemical, and radiological features in 2 patients with chronic immune sensorimotor polyradiculopathy (CISMP).

Diabetic thoracic polyradiculopathy

Best Practice & Research Clinical Gastroenterology, 2005
Diabetic thoracic polyradiculopathy usually causes severe, chronic abdominal pain in patients with type 2 diabetes of variable duration. Other diabetic complications, weight loss and paretic abdominal wall protrusion are common. Sensory, motor and autonomic functions are affected.

Presentation of intravascular lymphomatosis as lumbosacral polyradiculopathy

Muscle & Nerve, 2000
A 53-year-old man developed progressive sensory disturbance and weakness in the legs, sphincter disturbance, back pain, systemic symptoms, and pancytopenia. Electrophysiological tests indicated a widespread lumbosacral polyradiculopathy. Spinal magnetic resonance imaging and routine cerebrospinal fluid analysis showed minor nonspecific abnormalities ...

Acute polyradiculopathies in HIV-infected patients

Journal of Neurology, 1997
We studied 17 consecutive cases of acute polyradiculopathy (PR) diagnosed in HIV-infected patients to investigate the possible causes of this syndrome in our milieu. Sixteen patients presented with lumbosacral PR and one patient had predominantly cervical PR.

Syphilitic polyradiculopathy in an HIV‐positive man

Neurology, 1988
We report a case of syphilitic lumbosacral polyradiculopathy in an HIV-positive, 22-year-old bisexual man with a recent history of secondary syphilis treated with intramuscular penicillin. He presented with rapidly progressive pain and weakness, and muscle wasting in the legs.

Chronic immune sensory polyradiculopathy

Neurology, 2004
Abstract Several disorders present with sensory ataxia. Included in the pathogenesis are vitamin deficiencies, inherited degenerative conditions, infectious diseases, toxic substances, and inflammatory immune disorders. Sensory ataxia can be caused by varied involvement of the dorsal columns, dorsal root entry zone, dorsal root ganglia ...

Polyradiculopathy and Plexopathy

Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Clinics of North America, 1990
Polyradiculopathy is the involvement of multiple nerve roots, usually bilaterally. A plexopathy is a lesion distal to the nerve roots but proximal to the origin of the individual peripheral nerves. The electrodiagnostic evaluation of both polyradiculopathies and plexopathies can be important, not only for anatomic localization of the lesion, but also ...

Lumbosacral Polyradiculopathy Mimicking Distal Polyneuropathy

Journal of Clinical Neuromuscular Disease, 2000
To determine the relative importance of lumbosacral polyradiculopathy (PR) as a cause of distal lower extremity sensory loss, weakness, and hyporeflexia usually attributed to polyneuropathy (PN). METHODS.: We performed a chart review of all patients referred to our electromyography (EMG) laboratory for evaluation of polyneuropathy over a 23-month ...

Cytomegalovirus polyradiculopathy in HIV-infected patients

Journal of General Internal Medicine, 1996
Cytomegalovirus polyradiculopathy, a late complication of HIV infection, is characterized by lower extremity weakness, urinary retention, and sacral dysesthesias. We describe four patients (mean CD4 T-cell count = 25 cells/mm3) who developed this "infectious cauda equina syndrome." The characteristic cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) findings, notably atypical
