Abstract

Highlights: N2O toxicity and B12 deficiency both cause a sensory predominant myeloneuropathy. N2O abuse may also lead to a selectively severe motor axonal peripheral neuropathy. This motor neuropathy phenotype may be related to N2O direct neural toxicity. In-vivo measures of motor axonal dysfunction are more pronounced in N2O abuse.
