Sensorimotor axonal polyneuropathy without hepatic failure in erythropoietic protoporphyria.
[erythropoietic protoporphyria]
The
erythropoietic
porphyrias
are
primarily
manifested
by
skin
sensitivity
.
They
are
,
unlike
many
other
forms
of
porphyria
,
usually
not
associated
with
neurologic
manifestations
.
Only
a
few
cases
have
been
reported
of
neuropathy
in
patients
with
erythropoietic
porphyrias
,
all
characterized
by
an
acute
motor
and
proximally
accentuated
neuropathy
occurring
in
the
setting
of
hepatic
failure
.
In
this
report
,
we
present
a
patient
without
hepatic
failure
who
presented
with
a
sensorimotor
axonal
polyneuropathy
before
being
diagnosed
with
erythropoietic
porphyrias
.
The
presented
case
expands
the
forms
of
neurologic
complications
that
can
be
seen
in
this
specific
form
of
porphyria
.
