[Neurologic disorders in acute intermittent porphyria]. 1978

M Niewiadomska, and D Wochnik-Dyjas, and E Kostrzewska, and A Gregor

In a material of 28 patients with acute intermittent porphyria and 2 with mixed porphyria neurological disturbances occurring in acute attach and the degree of their persistence during remission were analysed. The obtained results indicate that the symptoms of acute attach are neurogenic. In the acute phase of the disease a reversible disturbance of function develops in the first place in the nerve fibres with acetylcholine-type of impulse transmission. Clinically detectable permanent signs of polyneuropathy were observed only in some cases with most severe and prolonged acute attack.
