Corneal sensitivity in chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy.

Purpose: Neurotrophic keratitis may result from a variety of ocular or systemic diseases. Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) is an autoimmune neuropathy that affects any nerve plexus but with no known association with corneal disease. We observed 2 patients with CIDP and visually compromising neurotrophic corneal ulcers.

A case of combined orthostatic tremor and primary gait ignition failure.

We report a case of a woman with both orthostatic tremor and primary gait ignition failure, a novel combination. We review the literature on both of these conditions, and discuss possible neuroanatomic substrates.
