Cryoglobulinaemic neuropathy: a further cause of bilateral sciatic neuropathy
نویسندگان
چکیده

We report an unusual case of cryoglobulinaemic neuropathy in an elderly woman with no underlying infectious or neoplastic cause; acute bilateral sciatic mononeuropathy was the presenting clinical manifestation of the cryoglobulinaemia.
