Abstract
β On a background of acute bulbar dysfunction, a patient experienced the simultaneous onset of severe proprioceptive loss and paralysis of automatic respiration that rapidly reverted to normal. Subsequent progressive neurological deterioration over several months ended in death, and neuropathological examination revealed demyelination in discrete distribution. The anatomical and diagnostic implications of this are briefly discussed.
