Progressive muscle weakness occurred rapidly in a 67-year-old rheumatoid patient. In the beginning cervical myelopathy was suspected from the findings of myelography, however, electrophysiological examination revealed that the clinical symptoms of this patient were due to polyneuritis. Steroid injection improved muscle weakness dramatically and as this weakness got less, increased tendon reflex and pathological reflex became apparent. Therefore we assumed that cervical myelopathy existed in combination with polyneuritis in this patient.
