Abstract
- Ataxic sensory neuropathy combined with proximal skeletal myopathy is a rare neurologic manifestation in Sjogren's syndrome. The myopathy may be either a form of polymyositis or an immune-mediated neuropathy with muscle involvement. We report a case of primary Sjogren's syndrome with ataxic sensory neuropathy and proximal skeletal myopathy that was proven to be polymyositis with immunohistochemical staining using a mononoclonal antibody.
