Abstract:
A patient with mixed gonadal dysgenesis showed glove and stocking-type sensory impairment and slowing of motor and sensory nerve conduction. Sural nerve biopsy revealed minifascicular formation with decreased density of myelinated fibers. As far as we are aware, this is the first report of polyneuropathy with minifascicular formation in 46XY mixed gonadal dysgenesis.
