Slowly progressive spastic paraparesis associated with a demyelinating peripheral neuro- pathy in a patient with a family history of gait impairment suggests
Adrenomyeloneuropathy
A rapidly progressive sensory ataxia with cervical MRI studies demonstrating T2 hyperintensity in the posterior columns suggests:
Myeloneuropathy due to either copper or vitamin B12 deficiency
Bladder impairment associated with a peripheral autonomic neuropathy is typically characterized as:
High-capacity bladder with incomplete bladder emptying or urinary retention
Posterolateral syndrome, which manifests as a sensory ataxia with pyramidal signs, is characteristic of:
Vitamin B12 deficiency, copper deficiency, folate deficiency, HTLV, and HIV myelopathies
Myeloneuropathy with demyelinating NCS, you think of:
Hereditary leukodystrophies but can also be seen with HIV and HTLV and in rare patients with multiple sclerosis who have signs of central and peripheral nervous system demyelination
