Cryoglobulinemic neuropathy: case report

Ital J Neurol Sci. 1988 Aug;9(4):391-5. doi: 10.1007/BF02334005.

Abstract

We report the case of a 51-year-old man affected by mainly motor polyneuropathy with subacute onset and tendency to chronicization. Several possible etiological factors were present, but nerve biopsy, showing ischemic and inflammatory neuropathy, led us to consider cryoglobulinemia as the most important.
