Abstract
A patient with acquired intestinal malabsorption developed a motor-sensory polyneuropathy with a recurrent remittent course, normal CSF and reduced motor and sensory conduction velocities. Nerve biopsy showed axonal changes. Serum DL-alpha-tocopherol was abnormally low. Six months supplementation with vitamin E was followed by normalization of DL-alpha-tocopherol serum levels and clinical and electrophysiological improvement.Entities:
