Amyloid neuropathy is a rare condition characterized by the pathological deposition of amyloid fibrils within the peripheral and autonomic nervous systems, leading to progressive sensorimotor and autonomic dysfunction. More than 15 types of systemic amyloidosis have been identified, each associated with a specific precursor protein involved in the ...

The first pathological descriptions of amyloid have been attributed to von Rokitansky, 1 2 who in 1842 described the waxy or lardaceous changes in the liver and spleen as infiltration by a grey, albuminous, gelatinous substance. 3 Although scattered clinical descriptions of liver infiltration had been recorded as early as 1722, von Rokitansky's ...

NEUROPATHY, M COMPONENTS, AND AMYLOID
The Lancet, 1975Of eighty-seven patients with nonhereditary systemic amyloidosis, ten had evidence of peripheral neuropathy. There was median-nerve neuropathy due to infiltration of the flexor retinaculum with amyloid in six patients. Two patients had diffuse sensorimotor neuropathy and two patients had sensory loss without evidence of motor impairment--three of these

Amyloid Neuropathy: Relationship between Amyloid Fibrils and Macrophages
Ultrastructural Pathology, 1984A case of amyloid neuropathy associated with a multiple myeloma IgG light chain is reported. Under light microscopy the peripheral nerve exhibited several amyloid deposits. Electron microscopy revealed numerous amyloid deposits; at their periphery, macrophagic histiocytes were observed, containing a few tufts of parallel fibrils in their cytoplasm.

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 ...

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 ...

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.

Amyloid Neuropathy and Multiple Myeloma
European Neurology, 1983Report 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.

Hereditary and acquired amyloid neuropathies
Journal of Neurology, 2001Amyloid neuropathies occur in a context of hereditary (FAP) or acquired amyloidosis. They present usually as severe and progressive polyneuropathy and carry a poor prognosis. Most FAP are associated with endoneurial deposits of variant transthyretin (TTR) with substitution of one aminoacid and are secondary to a point mutation of the TTR gene. Portugal
