Neuropathy secondary to vitamin E deficiency in acquired intestinal malabsorption.

L Palmucci1, C Doriguzzi, L Orsi, W Troni, S De Angelis, F Belliardo.   

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.
