Acute autonomic and sensory neuropathy: a case report

F Kanda et al. J Neurol. 1990 Feb.

Abstract

A female patient with acute autonomic and sensory neuropathy is described. Urinary disturbance developed rapidly and was followed by orthostatic syncope, absence of lacrimation, salivation and sweating, and sensory impairment. Muscle strength had been consistently normal despite diffuse muscular atrophy. Marked decrease in the number of small myelinated and unmyelinated fibres was revealed in biopsied sural nerve. Eighteen months after the onset, her autonomic symptoms have partially improved.
