  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

Acute sensory neuropathy (ASN) is characterized by rapidly progressive sensory ataxia and areflexia with-out motor weakness. The disease has been thought to be due to dorsal root ganglionitis which leads to sec-ondary sensory nerve axonal degeneration. In con-trast, we here report a patient with ASN, in whom re-sults of nerve conduction study pointed to a direct in-volvement of the sensory nerve axons.

A 33-year-old man was admitted to our hospital be-cause of a few days history of progressive numbness in his extremities and unsteadiness of gait. The results of motor nerve conduction studies were normal.
