• Description:
  In mid-August 1973, a 43-year-old male employee of a Plant producing vinyl-coated cloth presented to the neurosurgery service of the Ohio State University Hospital complaining of having been weak since May. On neurologic examination he was found to have bilateral weakness of the wrist extensors, wrist flexors, finger extensors, finger flexors, and finger abductors. He also had foot drop, absent ankle deep tendon reflexes, and atrophy of the interosseous muscles bilaterally. Electromyography confirmed the diagnosis of a relatively acute Peripheral neuropathy. No etiology was determined. [Description provided by NIOSH]
