polyneuropathies/edema

1 61-year-old man had osteosclerotic myeloma that was localized in the eleventh thoracic vertebral body and associated with sensorimotor polyneuropathy, skin hyperipigmentation, edema, hypertrichosis, gynecomastia, and white nails. Cases of osteosclerotic myeloma with and without polyneuropathy in

We describe a patient affected by chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) whose sural nerve biopsy revealed a marked edema of the myelin sheath. Since this change has been previously described in human peripheral nerves only in CIDP patients, we suggest that intramyelinic edema may

A 41-year-old woman manifested a polyneuropathy, anasarca, pseudotumor cerebri, hyperhidrosis and hyperpigmentation of the skin, generalized lymphadenopathy, distal esophageal dysphagia, pleuritis, platelike pulmonary atelectasis, fluctuating renal insufficiency, hepatosplenomegaly, amenorrhea, and

We report a case of an adult with dengue hemorrhagic fever who developed acute idiopathic scrotal edema and glove-and-stocking polyneuropathy. A 54-year-old man who had fever, chills, bone pain, and skin rash for 4 days was admitted. We diagnosed dengue hemorrhagic fever because of fever, gum

Peripheral and cental nerve conduction were studied in five patients who had polyneuropathy associated with pigmentation, hypertrichosis, edema, and plasma cell dyscrasia by using the short-latency somatosensory evoked potential (SEP) to electrical stimulation of the median nerve at the wrist. The

BACKGROUND Familial amyloid polyneuropathy is a group of autosomal dominant disorders characterized by extracellular amyloid deposition in several target organs. This paper aims to report an unusual manifestation of retinal vascular leakage including optic disc and macular edema in a patient with

Polyneuropathy, organomegaly, endocrinopathy or edema, M-spike, and skin manifestations (POEMS) syndrome is a rare multisystem disease. There are very few reports of stroke as the presenting manifestation of POEMS. We report a patient with ischemic stroke due to an underlying vasculopathy as the

BACKGROUND POEMS occurs only in about 1% of plasmocytoma cases, but in more than 50% of the rare osteosclerotic subtypes and plasma cell dyscrasias. The estimated frequency is 20 cases per year in Germany. Swelling of the optic disks is an early sign of the syndrome. METHODS An osteosclerotic
