- Abstract
- A 32-year-old man who had worked at aluminum processing plant for 4 months visited us. He complained of numbness and paresthesia of both foot and hands and weakness of all extremities. Electrophysiologic study showed motorsensory polyneuropathy of diffuse axonal type with focal conduction block. And we discovered higher concentration of n-Hexane in his workplace. On sural nerve biopsy, bubbly enlarged nerve fibers in light microscope and thick myelin sheath and axonal degeneration on electron microscope were found. We diagnosed it as n-Hexane induced neuropathy.
