Summary

A previously healthy, very active 68-year-old man, who usually cycled over 100 km several times a week, noticed progressive tingling in his feet and lower legs that increased over several weeks. This was followed by progressive weakness in the arms and legs exceeding a period of eight weeks. After three months of progression, weakness became so severe that he could not even walk without help. He did not use drugs or drink alcohol.
