Description / Table of Contents:
Sommario La “Neurite Sensitiva Migrante di Wartenberg” è una rara sindrome caratterizzata dal coinvolgimento successivo e transitorio di diversi tronchi nervosi sensitivi. Descriviamo il caso di una giovane donna affetta da AIDS che ha presentato un quadro clinico compatibile con questa neuropatia sensitiva. Tra le diverse sindromi neurologiche associate ad AIDS segnaliamo la possibilità di osservare anche la Neurite Sensitiva Migrante.
Notes:
Abstract We studied an AIDS patient who suffered from numbness, paresthesias and pain in the territories of different non-contiguous cutaneous nerves at different times. A transitory partial loss of touch and pinprick sensibility was also present in the same cutaneous areas. Sensory conduction velocities and SAP amplitudes were normal. The clinical picture was consistent with the Migrant Sensory Neuritis of Wartenberg. This rare neuropathy has never previously been described in patients affected by AIDS.
