Abstract excerpt

We report an atypical neurophysiologic pattern of isolated vitamin E deficiency in a 13-year-old boy. Electroneurography- electromyography, somatosensory evoked potentials, serum vitamin E concentration and genetic analysis of the alpha-tocopherol transfer protein gene were performed. Nerve conduction study failed to show peripheral neuropathy whereas needle electromyography of distal muscles demonstrated chronic...
