Özet

Sjogren syndrome (SS) can affect either central nervous system (CNS) or peripheral nervous system (PNS). Symmetric sensorymotor peripheral neuropathy and pure sensorial symmetric polyneuropathy are the most common diseases observed in relation to PNS. Rarely, asymmetrical polyneuropathy such as mononeuritis multiplex and brachial neuropathy may be observed. In this article, we present the clinical and electrophysiological properties of a case which arises with dibrachial neuropathy. Our case is important in terms of evaluation of SS during definitive diagnosis and performing related examinations, especially in patients with a subacutechronical asymmetric weakness.
