Abstract
|
|
|
Pure chronic sensory neuropathies affecting mainly the proprioceptive sensation and presenting as sensory ataxia with complete clinical preservation of motor power are unusual
Chronic idiopathic ataxia neuropathy might to be a distinct form of an indolent, slowly progressive sensory neuroapthy, which remains unresponsive to therapies and causes severe long-term disability.
The patient was a 32 year old man with slowly progressive disturbance in walking for 2 years. Neurologic findings were absent all DTR, impaired proprioceptive sensation and normal muscle power and there was no response to therapies.
The laboratory findings were unremarkable except no electrical reponses on both sural nerves and chronic demyelination on sural nerve biopsy.
So we diagnosed this case as chronic idiopathic ataxic neuropathy.
