Article Synopsis
- Contactin-associated protein 1 (Caspr1) is found throughout the peripheral and central nervous systems, but cases linking anti-Caspr1 antibodies to CNS symptoms have been rare.
- A 69-year-old man with polyneuropathy and memory loss tested positive for anti-Caspr1 antibodies in both his blood and cerebrospinal fluid, leading to a diagnosis of anti-Caspr1 nodopathy.
- Following treatment with rituximab, the patient's symptoms—including polyneuropathy and memory issues—significantly improved, highlighting the need to consider CNS effects of anti-Caspr1 antibodies.
Sensory neuronopathy is a rare pure sensory disorder with characteristic clinical features of early-onset ataxia and a multifocal distribution of non-length-dependent sensory deficits. Diabetes is the most common cause of length-dependent peripheral neuropathy. However, in acute to subacute presentations, conditions such as autoimmune diseases, paraneoplastic syndrome, exposure to toxins, and viral infection could be common etiologies.

Background: Little is known about the true prevalence and clinical characteristics of movement disorders in early multiple sclerosis (MS) and related demyelinating diseases. We conducted a prospective study to fill this knowledge gap.
Methods: A consecutive patient sample was recruited from the MS clinic within a 1-year-period.
A case of useless hand as a first demyelinating event.
