Severe but reversible neuropathy and encephalopathy due to vitamin E deficiency

Abstract:: Vitamin E deficiency is known to result mainly in a spinocerebellar syndrome and involvement of the peripheral nervous system occurs less commonly. Most cases of vitamin E-deficient ataxic neuropathy reported relate to a genetically-mediated cause through mutation of the alpha-tocopherol transfer protein (TTPA) gene on chromosome 8q13 [1]. Severe subacute adult-onset rapidly disabling neuropathy due to vitamin E deficiency is not to our knowledge reported. Cognitive dysfunction is uncommon in this setting. Occurrence of isolated ymptomatic vitamin E deficiency due to pancreatic exocrine insufficiency (PEI) appears exceptional.
