Chronic sensorimotor polyneuropathy associated with cerebello-extrapyramidal manifestations in a patient with tomaculous neuropathy

Rom J Neurol Psychiatry. 1993 Jul-Dec;31(3-4):279-81.

Abstract

Clinical, electrophysiological and morphological (sural nerve and gastrocnemius muscle biopsies) data of a 57-year-old man with a chronic sensorimotor polyneuropathy of Charcot-Marie-Tooth type associated with a progressive cerebello-extrapyramidal syndrome are reported. Patient's family data were negative. Nerve structural and ultrastructural examinations revealed the morphological picture of a tomaculous neuropathy. The association of different clinical syndromes and the specificity of the tomaculous neuropathy are discussed.
