PERIPHERAL NERVE INVOLVEMENT: Peripheral nerve involvement is better known than central nervous system involvement. The dominant features are sensoromotor polyneuropathies or pure sensorial polyneuropathies. CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM: The manifestations are polymorphous, generally presenting as encephalitis and/or focal or multifocal involvement of the spinal cord. OTHER LOCALIZATIONS: Diffuse encephalic involvement is less common: acute aseptic meningitis, intellectual deterioration. Psychiatric manifestations are also frequently observed. THERAPEUTIC OPTIONS: Response to corticosteroid therapy or immunosuppressor therapy can be spectacular but is unpredictable.
Hypoglycemia may occur without classic symptoms, especially in elderly patients hypoglycemia may imitate nearly every neurological symptom. The neuroglycopenic syndrome, which is often due to sulfonylurea-induced hypoglycemia, is frequently overlooked or misinterpreted as cerebral ischemia. Therefore in every case of disturbance of consciousness, acute neurologic deficits and psychiatric abnormalities an immediate blood glucose test should be performed to exclude hypoglycemia.
