Sensory neuropathy with ulnar sparing?

Jessica Hafner6/28/22 8:16 PM (CDT)
I am interested to know whether this pattern of sensory involvement is a clue to a particular aetiology or pathology? This is a patient referred several months after prolonged ICU admission with suspected recovering critical illness myoneuropathy on a background of poorly controlled diabetes mellitus. The upper limb sensory responses revealed an unexpected relative sparing of the ulnar nerve. See attached image for sensory study results.

I enjoy participating in the AANEM Connect Forum for a number of reasons. There are very fundamental questions posed on a frequent basis that cause me to pause and ask myself, ‘Why didn’t I think of that?’ Also, I continue to learn new things when others contribute their thoughts and experiences. Connect is an excellent opportunity for members to interact and to address any topic, including those that may not be discussed at an annual meeting or journal article.
