Wartenberg's Migrant Sensory Neuritis
Muscle & Nerve 24:438-443, Nicolle,M.W.,et al, 2001
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
We describe a patient with t he sudden onset of a painful, purely sensory, mononeuritis multiplex. Investigations showed no evidence for any underlying systemic condition. A nerve biopsy showed fascicular wallerian degeneration with perin eurial thickening, inflammatory cells, and immunoglobulin G (IgG) deposition. His painful sensory deficits persisted, with no improvement after treatment with prednisone. The clinical characteristics in this case were very similar to those originally de scribed by Wartenberg, and subsequently by other investigators. The investigations in our case strongly suggest that there may be an underlying immune pathogenesis for cases of Wartenberg's migrant sensory neuritis.
