Abstract/OtherAbstract:

METHODS: Seventy three patients diagnosed with HAM/TSP in accordance to criteria set by the World Health Organization (WHO) were evaluated in this cross-sectional study. Clinical and electrodiagnostic criteria were used for the diagnosis of peripheral neuropathy. RESULTS: Electrodiagnostic studies showed that 30.1% of patients with HAM/TSP had peripheral nerve involvement. All patients had predominantly axonal neuropathy with sensory-motor polyneuropathy being the most common neuropathy observed in our patients. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: Peripheral neuropathy may be more common than previously thought and should be checked systematically in all patients with HAM/TSP. |
