Abstract

|
Sjogren’s syndrome (SS) is an autoimmune disease characterized by keratoconjunctivitis sicca and xerostomia. About thirty percent of patients with Sjogren’s syndrome experience nervous system involvement such as myelopaty, optic neuropathy, and peripheral neuropathy. The most common pattern of peripheral nerve involvement is axonal polyneuropathy. We present a case of demyelinating polyneuropathy in a patient with Sjogren’s syndrome, which had been proven by electrophysiology and pathology.
