We herein describe the case of a 90-year-old @entity1 . He had been treated for @entity6 for over twenty years. One day he noticed @entity425 in the bilateral upper limbs. The next morning the symptoms extended to the bilateral lower limbs. As a result, he was admitted to Shimane University Hospital. MRI showed mild compression of the cervical spinal cord, but it did not account for his neurological symptoms. Because his @entity1688 progressed, we examined the cerebrospinal fluid with albuminocytologic dissociation. A nerve conduction study showed an @entity16 pattern. We diagnosed @entity5011 and started intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) therapy 5 mg/kg on the fifth day after admission. All deep tendon reflexes were absent during the treatment. He was able to get up one week later and could walk by himself two weeks later. @entity5011 is a treatable disease and this disorder should be taken into consideration even if an elderly @entity1 presents with @entity1688 .

A case of XXXX in the oldest.
