  • Title: A case of Sjögren's syndrome with acute transverse myelitis and polyneuropathy in a patient free of sicca symptoms.
    Author: Tristano AG.
    Journal: Clin Rheumatol; 2006 Feb; 25(1):113-4. PubMed ID: 15980937.
    Abstract:
    Acute transverse myelitis (ATM) is an inflammatory process involving a restricted area of the spinal cord. The usually dramatic presentation with rapidly progressive symptoms involving motor, sensory, and autonomic functions makes ATM a medical emergency. ATM has been cited as a rare and unusual complication of Sjögren's syndrome, but early diagnosis and aggressive treatment might improve the prognosis. I report a case of Sjögren's syndrome with ATM and polyneuropathy in a patient free of sicca symptoms and having skin lesions and synovitis as the initial manifestations.
