s/l "Leg to tendons" distribution 
Subject: s/l "Leg to tendons" distribution 
   This is from a neurlogical consultation: 
Physical Examination:  She has clear loss of pinprick in ?? s/l leg to tendons ??  distribution up to about the knee bilaterally, hands up to mid wrist, and chest in the distal thoracic distribution. This is consistent with a small fiber ?? s/l leg to tendons ??  process.  Her strength is relatively preserved considering her age.  Deep tendon reflexes are not elicitable distally.   
 
Impression:  ?? s/l leg to tendons ??  sensory greater than motor neuropathy involving both small as well as large fiber axones.
