Abstract

We reported here a case of alcoholic polyneuropathy with superimposed focal entrapment neuropathies. A 55-year-old male patient was admitted to the electrophysiology unit with the diagnosis of left ulnar neuropathy. He had a previous history of chronic alcoholism. Nerve conduction studies revealed bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome, bilateral ulnar neuropathy at the elbow, left peroneal neuropathy at the fibular head, prolonged distal motor latencies and moderately reduced motor conduction velocities in multiple motor nerves, slowed conduction velocities in multiple sensory nerves and multiple prolonged F-waves. Gene analysis did not reveal deletion on chromosome 17p11.2-12. We wanted to share our findings with other clinicians to get their opinion regarding possible diagnosis of the case.

Özet

Bu yazıda fokal tuzaklanma nöropatileri ile birlikte olan alkolik nöropatili bir hasta sunulmuştur. Elli beş yaşında erkek hasta sol ulnar nöropati tanısı ile kliniğimiz elektrofizyoloji ünitesine kabul edildi. Hasta anamnezde önceye ait kronik alkol alışkanlığı öyküsü veriyordu. Sinir iletim çalışmaları hastada bilateral karpal tünel sendromu, dirsekte bilateral ulnar nöropati, solda fibula başı bölgesinde peroneal nöropati, distal motor latanslarda uzama ve orta derecede azalmış motor iletim hızları, çok sayıda duyusal sinir ileti hızlarında yavaşlama ve çok sayıda uzamış F yanıtı latansı varlığını ortaya koydu. Genetik analizlerde 17p11.2-12 kromozomda delesyon saptanmadı. Bulgularımızı hastanın muhtemel tanısı hakkındaki görüşlerini almak için diğer klinisyenlerle paylaşmak istedik.
