Neurological manifestations are rarely observed with mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD). The most frequent is a trigeminal sensory neuropathy which sometimes appeared as an early symptom. We report a new case of bilateral isolated trigeminal sensory neuropathy during M.C.T.D. Similitudes can be drawn with trigeminal neuropathies observed in connective tissue diseases such as scléroderma. Mechanisms are discussed.
