MRI shows dorsal lesions and spinal cord atrophy in chronic sensory neuronopathies

Sensory neuronopathies (SN) represent a specific subgroup of peripheral nervous system diseases, characterized by degeneration of dorsal root ganglia (DRG) and its projections. We tried to estimate the frequency and extent of spinal cord MRI abnormalities in a group of patients with SN and correlate these with clinical and neurophysiological features.

cussion of our results. Medial elbow pain is described as a symptom of ulnar neuropathy at the elbow in standard texts. The elbow pain is likely musculoskeletal and related to the medial epicondyle or other structures. Medial elbow pain is less likely analogous to the proximal arm or shoulder pain reported by patients with median neuropathy at the wrist. Based on our findings, medial elbow pain does not appear to be associated with UNE diagnosed with electrodiagnostic examination. Referral for an electrodiagnostic study to assess medial elbow pain with vague signs or symptoms of UNE should be reconsidered.
