• Many past cases of SMON have occurred in Japan but since 1975 no new cases have been reported. One type of SMON is associated with acrodermatitis enteropathica which has a very high frequency of occurrence in association with administration of clioquinol. Acrodermatitis enteropathica with SMON almost always has a high occurrence of visual impairment, but other sensory disturbances are slight or absent, while common adult SMON is just the opposite. We do not know why these differences occur.
