Abstract

Sj$\ddot{o}$gren's syndrome (SS) is an autoimmune disease characterized by keratoconjunctivitis sicca and xerostomia. About thirty percent of patients with Sj$\ddot{o}$gren's syndrome experience nervous system involvement such as myelopaty, optic neuropathy, and peripheral neuropathy. The most common pattern of peripheral nerve involvement is axonal polyneuropathy. We present a case of demyelinating polyneuropathy in a patient with Sj$\ddot{o}$gren's syndrome, which had been proven by electrophysiology and pathology.
