Description
A 26-year-old man with premorbid cutaneous neurofibromatosis presented with history of insidious onset, slowly progressive, bilaterally asymmetrical quadriparesis along with incontinence of urine since 4 weeks. Simultaneous to the onset of motor symptoms, he also complained of paraesthesias in all four limbs. On examination, multiple cutaneous neurofibromas were noticed all over his trunk, abdomen and all the limbs (figure 1). The upper and lower limbs were spastic. Motor power as per Medical Research Council grading was 3/5 in all four limbs. The deep tendon reflexes were brisk. The plantar response on both sides was extensor. The sensory level was clinically around C3/C4 dermatome.
