A case of 21 year old male with neuropathy caused by renal insufficiency was present. He had taken bromate (mixed powder of potassium bromate and sodium bromate) for the purpose of suicide and suffered from acute renal insufficiency and hard of hearing. Renal dysfunction improved gradually by peritoneal dialysis and hemodialysis. However, on the 32th day after the onset, burning pain appeared in the bilateral feets. Following this, he began to complain of the disturbances of superficial and deep sensory below the ankle jerks and the weakness of his toes. Considering the clinical features, we supposed that the disturbance of the peripheral nerve was caused by uremia due to taking bromate. N. suralis was biopsied on the 80th day after the onset and examined electron microscopically. Electroscopical findings was as follows. Degeneration of the Schwann cells and irregularity or destruction of the myelin sheaths were observed. The axoplasm of the myelinated nerve fiber were relatively preserved as compared with the changes of the myelin sheaths. In the unmyelinated nerve fibers, cavity formations were observed. The findings of regeneration were not observed. From the electron microscopical findings, we speculate that the changes of the Schwann cells and the myelin sheaths are primary resulting from the disturbance of the metabolism of the Schwann cells. We speculate that anemia and hypoproteinemia caused by bromate disturbed regeneration.
