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

MOLECULAR GENETICS OF AMYLOID NEUROPATHY IN EUROPE
The Lancet, 1989The Portuguese type of familial amyloid polyneuropathy (FAP type I), a disabling autosomal dominant disorder with onset in early adult life, is caused by a point mutation in the transthyretin (TTR; previously known as prealbumin) gene. DNA analysis in thirteen European families (one British, two French, one Italian, one Greek, and eight Cypriot) showed

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 ...

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 ...
