Abstract
Acute polyneuropathies present a diagnostic challenge in medical practice. A 51-year-old female presented with 3-day history of mild back pain, mild right facial tingling, distal limb paraesthesia and fatigue. Urgent head MRI was normal, and spine MRI showed mild-to-moderate cervical disc herniation at C5/C6 without neural impingement. Because full neurological examination was normal and symptoms were not explained by the prolapsed disc, she was discharged with a diagnosis of probable anxiety-related paraesthesia.
