Abstract

Among several factors, the sensory nerve is known to be associated with endothelial function. We report a patient with an impaired endothelial function in the area of sensory disturbance due to a cerebral infarction. When the endothelial function is evaluated in humans, the condition of the sensory nerve function might be considered.
