  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

A 32-year-old female was admitted complaining of pain over the whole body and dysesthesia in all extremities. On admission, physical examination revealed hypertension, tachycardia, abdominal dis-tension and urinary retension. Neurological exami-nation revealed sensory impairment over the whole body and mild muscular weakness with absent deep tendon roflexes.

Abdominal roentgenogram showed gaseous disten-sion of the bowels. CT scans showed low density areas on the bilateral parieto-occipital lobes. CAG showed diffuse narrowing of the cerebral artetics.

Laboratory examinations showed an albumino-cytologic dissociation (cells; 21/3mm, prot.; 78mg/dl) of the cerebrospinal fluid and increased levels of norepinephrine (214μg/day) and epinephrine (16.1μg/day) in the urine.

Motor nerve conduction velocties of the median nerves was 42.8m/sec in the right and 50.0m/sec in the left. The autonomic function tests revealed hyper-responsiveness to 10mg of phentolamine and low baroreflex sensitivity. Within 2 months, most symptoms improved. Repeated CT scans showed no abnormality, while CAG showed only mild arterial norrowing.

This case was diagnosed as having acute autonomic and sensory neuropathy which was a subtype of acute polyradiculoneuritis. Occult encephalitis or autono-mic dysfunction was considered to contribute to the peculiar findings on CT and CAG.
