A 42-year-old woman with progressive myelopathy and mononeuritis multiplex is reported. The neurological examination on admission revealed hyperreflexia of the four extremities with pathological reflexes and moderate muscle weakness of the lower extremities with spasticity. Sensory disturbance was distributed on the areas of the bilateral lateral cutaneous femoral, the superficial peroneal and sural nerves. The antibody to HTLV-I in the serum and cerebrospinal fluid was more than 8192X and 512X, respectively. No sensory potential was recorded in the sensory conduction study of bilateral lateral femoral cutaneous nerves. Corticosteroid therapy caused a marked improvement of the sensory and urinary disturbances and had a slight effect on the spastic gait. Our nerve conduction study found small sensory potentials with normal conduction velocities in the bilateral lateral femoral cutaneous nerves. These results suggested the presence of an axonal degeneration in the peripheral nerves in this case. There have been no reports in the literature regarding a case of HAM with mononeuritis multiplex.
