Motor conduction blocks and temporal dispersion could be observed from days 3 and 5 onward, respectively. Progression of motor conduction slowing in AIDP was most impressive in the median nerves. Varying affection of deep tendon reflexes, cranial nerves, and cerebrospinal fluid albuminocytological dissociation can also help make a distinction between AIDP and acute motor axonal neuropathy. Sural sparing, a marker of demyelinating neuropathy, is more commonly seen in later than in early stages of AIDP.
We report a 15-year-old boy with autosomal recessive complicated hereditary spastic paraplegia with a thin corpus callosum (HSP-TCC). The involvement of the corpus callosum was characteristic with the genu and body predominantly affected with relative sparing of the splenium. HSP-TCC is being increasingly recognized over a wider geographical area than earlier believed. We now report a case of HSP-TCC from the Indian subcontinent.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
