Abstract:
We report a patient with a relapsing form of acute ataxic polyradiculoneuritis. The patient developed marked sensory ataxia with mild limb weakness following a respiratory tract infection. Five similar relapses occurred over 18 years. The symptoms reached their maximum in 2 weeks, followed by subsequent gradual improvement over 1-2 months. Sural nerve biopsy showed mild loss of large myelinated fibers.
