Occurrence of Pure Sensory Neuropathy in a 45- Year-Old Female with Primary Sjögren’s Syndrome: A Case Report Study

Complications of Sjögren’s syndrome (SS) and neuropathies may occur in some cases. Almost this complication occurs with peripheral neuropathy. Different forms of sensory neuropathy, multiple mononeuropathy, trigeminal neuropathy, multiple cranial neuropathy, radiculoneuropathy, and autonomic neuropathy can occur in SS. In this novel case presentation, polyneuropathy in a 45-year-old female patient with SS is reported with a complaint of ataxia, vertigo, dysarthria, abnormal gait, foreign body sensation, and deterioration of quadriparesis from six months ago. Fluorescent antinuclear antibody (FANA), anti-RO, anti-RO-52, and RF were strongly detected positive in her rheumatologic examination. Pure sensory polyneuropathy (ganglionopathy) was also reported in electromyography and nerve conduction velocity (EMG-NCV). Although peripheral neuropathy is the major and mostcommonneurological aspect of neuron involvement in patients with SS, here, pure sensory polyneuropathy is reported in a 45-year-old female patient with SS. In conclusion, in this novel case presentation, a novel case of polyneuropathy concurrent with SS is demonstrated in a 45-year-old female patient.
