Polyradiculopathy secondary to severe hypertriglyceridemia.

Cassie Nesbitt1, Daniel Wong2, Peter Batchelor2.   

Abstract

A 74-year-old man presented with a subacute severe thoracic polyradiculopathy affecting the T4-T8 dermatomes bilaterally. Extensive investigation demonstrated markedly raised triglyceride levels of 44 mmol/L (<1.7). The patient's unique presentation is discussed alongside a review of triglyceride-induced neurotoxicity and therapeutic management. 2015 BMJ Publishing Group Ltd.
