Figure/Graphic 2: Cisplatinum neuropathy Cisplatinum neuropathy. Clinical and electrophysiological features of a 40-year-old male with an ataxic cisplatinum neuropathy. (a) Despite numbness and sensory ataxia no motor involvement with normal small-hand muscles. Nerve conduction velocity (NCV) measurement shows normal motor NCV, (b) the sensory NCV is reduced to 1 uV (pathologic). (c) The feet appear normal, neither atrophy nor trophic changes can be seen. (d) Knee-to-shin is pathologic, vibration perception is absent. (e) Motor NCVs of peroneal nerves are normal. The sural nerve sensory potential is absent; (f) the F wave is normal. |
