Malignant glioma and sensorimotor neuropathy.
A case of sensorimotor neuropathy in a male with malignant glioma is reported. The symptoms of peripheral motor and sensory disturbances preceeded those of the intracranial tumor. The history, clinical findings, electrophysiological and histopathological results are presented, as well as immunological data. A possible causal relationship between glioma and peripheral neuropathy is discussed.
