Abstract
|
|
|
|
Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitors are increasingly used in treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), ankylosing spondylitis, psoriatic arthritis, and inflammatory bowel diseases including Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. Rarely, anti-TNF therapy is associated with neurological complications, including both central and peripheral nervous system disorders. To the best of our knowledge, only one case of infliximab-associated multifocal motor neuropathy with conduction block in a patient with spondyloarthropathy has been reported to date in Korea. Here, we report on the case of a 58-year-old Korean woman affected by RA who developed multifocal motor neuropathy after infliximab treatment.
