Truncal polyradiculopathy due to sarcoidosis

Journal of the Neurological Sciences, 2009
We report the case of a 43-year-old woman who developed multiple cranial nerve palsy, the symptoms of which included hyposmia, visual loss, facial hypoesthesia, facial weakness, dysphagia, gustatory disturbance, and sensory disturbance of the trunk and ulnar side of the bilateral arms.

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 ...

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.

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 ...

Polyradiculopathy complicating acute lymphoblastic leukemia

Hematological Oncology, 1995
AbstractA patient who presented with a symmetrical polyradiculopathy 6 months before the onset of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is described. This case shows that bone marrow aspiration should be considered in such presentations when no other cause has been identified, even if the CSF is not initially diagnostic and the full blood count appears ...

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.

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).

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.

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 ...

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
