Abstract:
Two patients with progressive multifocal sensory symptoms and signs are described. The sensory disturbances were bilateral, and mainly arose in the territory of the radial nerves. Stretching or touching the wrist elicited electrical sensations in the fingers. The diagnosis of Wartenberg's migrant sensory neuritis (WMSN) was suggested. Nerve conduction studies confirmed the presence of peripheral nerve affection, and the electrophysiological abnormalities corresponded to the pattern and progression of clinical abnormalities.

Overview of Somatic Sensory Pathways
The somatosensory system is divided into three main pathways: the dorsal (or posterior) column-medial lemniscus, spinothalamic (or anterolateral), and spinocerebellar pathways.
