tapering the dosage ( 5 mg each month) over the past few months. He has experienced no dysphagia at any time. Subclinical limb neuropathy with areflexia and albuminocytological dissociation occurred within 2 months of our patient's initial complaint of diplopia. Symptoms of weakness and sensory loss, however, did not occur for another 4% years. Thus, while the onset of subclinical limb neuropathy within 2 months after first experiencing diplopia is consistent with the course of Donaghy and Earl's patients, the prolonged delay in developing more overt sensorimotor symptoms is unique. Our patient is otherwise quite similar to those of Donaghy and Earl except for the absence of dysphagia and the apparently good response to immunosuppressive therapy thus far. In these respects, he more closely resembles the sixth case of Gibberd (2}. Our patient has, however, been followed for only 15 months since the onset of overt limb symptoms, and we recognize the possibility of future occurrence of such manifestations.
