A Case of Rapidly Progressive Sensory Neuropathy

A 62-year-old man presented with sensory neuropathy that evolved quickly over the course of weeks, starting with hand involvement and progressing to include the lower extremities and his torso. Nerve conduction studies were consistent with a demyelinating process. Spinal imaging showed cervical spondylotic myelopathy, and urgent surgical nerve decompression was performed.

Abstract

A 62-year-old man presented with sensory neuropathy that evolved quickly over the course of weeks, starting with hand involvement and progressing to include the lower extremities and his torso. Nerve conduction studies were consistent with a demyelinating process. Spinal imaging showed cervical spondylotic myelopathy, and urgent surgical nerve decompression was performed.
