Dorsal root ganglionopathy in a hepatitis C patient: a case report
Journal Title: Annals of Hepatology - Year 2012, Vol 11, Issue 6
Abstract
We report an unusual clinical presentation of dorsal root ganglionopathy in a hepatitis C patient with negative cryoglobulins characterized by both motor and sensory symptoms. This mixed clinical picture in a hepatitis C patient is rare but should be considered a potential complication of HCV infection.
