Bilateral sciatic neuropathy is a rare condition and it has been described as a compression or entrapment neuropathy but it is an uncommon clinical manifestation due to necrotizing vasculitis. We report an unusual case of cryoglobulinaemic neuropathy in an elderly woman with no underlying infectious or neoplastic cause; acute bilateral sciatic mononeuropathy was the presenting clinical manifestation of the cryoglobulinaemia.
双侧坐骨神经病变是一种罕见病症,曾被描述为压迫性或卡压性神经病变,但作为坏死性血管炎的临床表现并不常见。我们报告一例罕见的冷球蛋白血症性神经病变病例,患者为老年女性,无潜在感染或肿瘤病因;急性双侧坐骨单神经病变是冷球蛋白血症的主要临床表现。
