Possible Causes for Vibratory Sensation Decreased

Subacute Combined Degeneration of Spinal Cord

Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis

We present three patients with a clinical course and cerebrospinal fluid findings consistent with a diagnosis of primary progressive multiple sclerosis (PPMS). Extensive and repeated magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examinations showed only diffuse abnormality in brain and spinal cord, but no focal lesions. We propose[…] [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Multifocal Motor Neuropathy

Multifocal motor neuropathy Other names Multifocal motor neuropathy with conduction block Specialty Neurology Multifocal motor neuropathy (MMN) is a progressively worsening condition where muscles in the extremities gradually weaken. The disorder, a pure motor neuropathy syndrome, is sometimes mistaken for[…] [en.wikipedia.org]

Multiple Sclerosis

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the most common chronic disabling disease of the central nervous system (CNS) in young adults. It is characterized by the presence of multiple demyelinating inflammatory lesions disseminated in the CNS. Pseudotumoral lesions (PL) are rarely observed in patients with MS. These atypical lesions[…] [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Machado-Joseph Disease

Machado-Joseph disease (MJD) is an autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disorder originally described in families of Portuguese-Azorean ancestry. The cloning of the MJD1 gene allowed identification of the disease in many other populations, and MJD is now known to be the most common cause of dominant[…] [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Spinal Cord Compression

This systematic review describes the diagnosis and management of adult patients with a suspected or confirmed diagnosis of extradural malignant spinal cord compression (MSCC).

Despite repeated intravenous immunoglobulin replacement therapy, this[…] [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Tabes Dorsalis

Tabes dorsalis, also known as syphilitic myelopathy, is a slow degeneration (specifically, demyelination) of the neural tracts primarily in the dorsal columns (posterior columns) of the spinal cord (the portion closest to the back of the body) and dorsal roots. These nerves normally help maintain a person's sense of[…] [en.wikipedia.org]

Peripheral Polyneuropathy

Abstract In recent years numerous mutations in the LMNA gene encoding lamin A/C were shown to segregate with a wide spectrum of phenotypes. A recurrent p.R377H mutation in the LMNA gene was reported in patients with Emery-Dreifuss dystrophy (EDMD2) with various ethnic backgrounds. We present a patient with[…] [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
