Peripheral neuropathy due to vitamin E deficiency – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/1787416388

In peripheral neuropathy due to vitamin E deficiency, the sensory axons tend to be more affected than the motor axons. The neuropathology is suggestive of a process caused by primary damage to the axon of the neuron with secondary demyelination. This neuropathy can result in gait abnormalities, decreased or absent tendon reflexes, impairment of position and vibratory sensation, movement disorders, gaze palsies, and retinopathy.
