| الوصف: | We herein report an unusual case of a 58-year-old man with polycythemia presented with sudden right leg and right arm weakness. He was treated for a stroke but continued to worsen, leading to quadriparesis. He was referred to the emergency department after experiencing progressive weakness in all four limbs for five days. No prior history of fever, cough, chest pain, diarrhea, backache, or trauma was found. The patient had normal neurological examination, MRC scores, and bilateral weak hand grips. Sensory examination was normal. The patient had normal blood tests, electrolytes and brain MRI. CSF examination revealed protein an albumin-cytological dissociation pattern. An electrodiagnostic study showed evidence of acute motor axonal polyneuropathy. The patient received IVIg for five days, and symptoms improved significantly. |
