Neuronal antinuclear antibody in sensory neuronopathy from lung cancer.
We found an antinuclear antibody highly restricted to nuclei of neurons in two patients with subacute sensory neuronopathy complicating oat cell carcinoma of the lung. Serum was tested by indirect immunofluorescence and immunoperoxidase staining. At low concentrations of antibody, only the nuclei of the neurons were stained. At high concentrations, there was also staining of the nuclei of glial...

متن کاملSensory Neuronopathy and Autoimmune Diseases
Sensory neuronopathies (SNs) are a specific subgroup of peripheral nervous system diseases characterized by primary degeneration of dorsal root ganglia and their projections. Multifocal sensory symptoms often associated to ataxia are the classical features of SN. Several different etiologies have been described for SNs, but immune-mediated damage plays a key role in most cases. SN may herald th...
متن کاملSjögren Sensory Neuronopathy (Sjögren Ganglionopathy)
Primary Sjögren syndrome (SS) is an autoimmune disease mainly affecting the exocrine glands causing a sicca syndrome. Neurological manifestations are rarely seen in SS although they are debilitating. Peripheral neuropathies namely sensory axonal neuropathy and painful small fiber neuropathy are the most frequent neurological manifestations. Sensory neuronopathy (SN) is less frequently seen alth...
متن کاملSlowly progressive sensory hemisyndrome: unusual presentation of paraneoplastic sensory neuronopathy.
Dear Editor, A 59-year-old woman complained of slowly progressive unsteadiness, gait difficulties, and a left sensory hemisyndrome. She had smoked heavily until 2004. In October 2006, she complained of diffuse muscle pain and fever, and a chest computed tomography (CT) scan was normal.
