[A case of peripheral neuropathy in an acromegalic subject. Pathogenetic considerations].

[Article in Italian]

Abstract

A case of acromegaly with peripheral neuropathy characterized by acroparaesthesiae in the median nerve field of both sides is presented. Electrophysiological examination shows bilateral slowing of the motor conduction velocity of the median nerve through the carpal tunnel. The possible pathogenetic mechanisms of the peripheral neuropathy in acromegalic are discussed in the light of the most recent theories about the GH action. Suggestions are made that some associated hormonal disorders diabetes, hyperaldosteronism, hyperthyroidism) can play some part in the neuropathy pathogenesis.
