N-hexane exposure causes sensory-motor neuropathy, predominantly affecting lower limbs. Electrophysiological and nerve biopsy findings reveal axonal damage and demyelination, confirming n-hexane neuropathy

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Toxicology
  • Occupational Health

Background:

  • Investigating n-hexane neuropathy in Indian screen printers.
  • Assessing clinical and electrophysiological characteristics.

Observation:

  • 25 screen printers with peripheral neuropathy were studied.
  • Comprehensive examinations included neurological, visual, and cognitive assessments.
  • Electrophysiological studies and sural nerve biopsies were performed.

Findings:

  • Sensory-motor neuropathy observed in 92% of patients.
  • Sensory nerves affected equally in upper and lower limbs; motor nerves more affected in lower limbs.
  • Nerve conduction studies showed patchy involvement and denervation on EMG; biopsies revealed axonal loss and demyelination.

Implications:

  • Electrophysiological patterns and histopathology elucidate n-hexane neuropathy pathophysiology.
  • Highlights the neurotoxic effects of n-hexane in occupational settings.
  • Provides insights for diagnosis and management of solvent-induced neuropathies.
