An electrophysiological follow up of patients with n-hexane polyneuropathy.
Electroneurographic (ENeG) and evoked potential (EP) studies were regularly performed on 11 printing workers with n-hexane polyneuropathy after cessation of exposure. At the initial examination, the ENeG studies simulated a demyelinative process. Further slowing of nerve conduction velocity, or further decreasing of action potential amplitude, or both in the follow up ENeG study were found in a...
متن کاملPatients with n-hexane induced polyneuropathy: a clinical follow up.
The prognosis of hexacarbon induced polyneuropathy is usually good, though its clinical course after the cessation of exposure has not been described in detail. Eleven patients with moderate to severe n-hexane induced polyneuropathy due to occupational exposure were regularly followed up for a period of four years at the neurological department of the National Taiwan University Hospital. Sensor...
متن کاملPolyneuropathy induced by n-hexane intoxication in Taiwan.
n-Hexane and methyl n-butyl ketone share a common metabolite, 2,5-hexanedione, a potent neurotoxin. Neurotoxic effects to both peripheral and central nervous systems may occur after occupational exposure or recreational abuse of n-hexane. Initial clinical manifestations include numbness and tingling sensation in the toes and fingers, followed by progressive weakness and areflexia, particularly ...
متن کاملChronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) associated with seminoma.
We wish to report a case of CIDP in association with seminoma. A 43-year-old man without significant past medical history developed bilateral lower extremity more than upper extremity weakness about 6 months before presentation. Examination was significant for severe weakness (Medical Research Council, MRC, grade 0–1) of the foot and toe extensors and flexors, moderate weakness of the intrinsic...
متن کاملNeurotoxic effects of n-hexane on the human central nervous system: evoked potential abnormalities in n-hexane polyneuropathy.
An outbreak of n-hexane polyneuropathy as a result of industrial exposure occurred in printing factories in Taipei area from December 1983 to February 1985. Multimodality evoked potentials study was performed on 22 of the polyneuropathy cases, five of the subclinical cases, and seven of the unaffected workers. The absolute and interpeak latencies of patterned visual evoked potential (pVEP) in b...
