UHTHOFF SYMPTOM

A transient temperature-dependent numbness, weakness, or loss of vision. Conduction stops in any nerve if the temperature gets too tall. In a damaged nerve, e.g., by demyelinization, this shutdown temperature is lowered, and may approach usual body temperature. Transient neurological dysfunction may then appear with a hot shower, exercice, or fever. Synonym: Uhthoff syndrome.
