Atypical presentations of primary amyloid neuropathy
Muscle & Nerve, 2003AbstractPrimary amyloidosis (AL) may be complicated by peripheral neuropathy in 15–35% of cases. We report on four patients with atypical neurological presentations of AL neuropathy, whose diagnoses were delayed due to varied clinical presentations. The clinical presentation included painful sensory neuropathy (two patients), mononeuropathy multiplex ...

Amyloid Neuropathy and Tremor in Waldenstrom's Macroglobulinemia
Archives of Neurology, 1980We report a case of Waldenström's macroglobulinemia with amyloid neuropathy and a parkinsonian syndrome. We describe the light and electron microscopic findings in a sural nerve biopsy specimen and discuss the possible pathogenic mechanisms in the production of the neuropathy.

Ultrastructural immunolabelling of amyloid fibrils in acquired and hereditary amyloid neuropathies
Journal of Neurology, 1995Both acquired and familial amyloid neuropathies carry a poor prognosis. In addition, amyloid is sometimes difficult to visualise in nerve biopsy specimens, and the pathogenesis of nerve lesions is still a matter of controversy. In order to learn more on the subject, we studied nerve specimens from seven patients with proven amyloid neuropathy by ...

Ultrasound evaluation in transthyretin‐related amyloid neuropathy
Muscle & Nerve, 2014ABSTRACTIntroduction: Familial amyloid polyneuropathy is a rare condition caused by mutations of the transthyretin gene (TTR). We assessed the pattern of nerve ultrasound (US) abnormalities in patients with TTR‐related neuropathy. Methods: Seven patients with TTR‐related neuropathy (TTR‐N) and 5 asymptomatic TTR‐mutation carriers (TTR‐C) underwent ...

Amyloid Neuropathy and Multiple Myeloma
European Neurology, 2008Report of 2 patients suffering from sensory peripheral neuropathy and multiple myeloma. In 1 case, peripheral neuropathy occurred several months before the appearance of multiple myeloma. A peripheral nerve biopsy exhibited numerous amyloid deposits within the endoneurium.

Abstract This chapter presents the case of a 61-year-old man with painful, asymmetric, sensory-predominant polyneuropathy; clinicians ultimately diagnose AL amyloid neuropathy through nerve biopsy. It traces the historical and molecular understanding of amyloidosis, emphasizing its heterogeneity and classifying major subtypes—AA, AL ...

Rinsho shinkeigaku = Clinical neurology, 1991
Primary amyloidosis and myeloma associated amyloidosis causes neuropathy in 10% of the cases, and hemodialysis associated amyloidosis causes carpal tunnel syndrome. However, most severe amyloid neuropathy is observed in familial amyloidotic polyneuropathy (FAP).

Formation of amyloid within peripheral nerves, resulting in amyloid-related neuropathies, may occur when myeloma-associated amyloid (AL) is deposited in an immune-related neuropathy or in familial amyloid polyneuropathy where prealbumin/transthyretin variants are marked by AF amyloid deposition.

Journal of the neurological sciences, 1983
The development of amyloid neuropathy is an uncommon complication of multiple myeloma. The clinical, electrophysiological and pathological features of 3 such patients are described. The small fiber neuropathy in these 3 cases was similar to that in patients with primary amyloidosis and with the Andrade-type of familial neuropathy, and differed from the

[Familial amyloid neuropathies].
Revue neurologique, 1994Recent advances in molecular biology have given improved knowledge of familial amyloidotic polyneuropathies (FAP). FAP, originally described in Portuguese patients have been observed in many countries. These neuropathies are characterized by a sensory motor deficit beginning in the lower limbs and associated with autonomic nervous system involvement ...
