syringomyelia kind of links to dissociation of pain/temperature and tactile senses. I pick E. But don't know exactly why yasmeen, can you explain a little bit why you pick E too? Thanks

E. Ventral horn refers to LMN. Lateral column refers to UMN. It's the only answer that gives bilateral motor deficits. (Other answers are either one-sided lesions, or involve Pain & T deficits which our patient doesn't have)

That's correct, fox. It is typical presentation of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
