Abstract:
The authors report the case of a 22-year old man presenting with cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis who developed peripheral neuropathy. Nerve biopsy showed evidence of demyelination and remyelination, suggesting axonal degeneration. The neurological symptoms improved after treatment with chenodesoxycholic acid.
