Multifocal motor neuropathy secondary to gluten intolerance: a case report
This case highlights the importance of considering gluten intolerance as a potential etiology, particularly given the reversible nature of this neuropathy, which can otherwise be misdiagnosed as a more severe condition such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Further studies are needed to better elucidate the pathophysiology of this rare gluten-related neurological phenotype.
