BACKGROUND: Neuropathies associated with @entity706 (NAL) are rare and present a great clinical heterogeneity, making them difficult to diagnose and worsening their prognosis. OBJECTIVES: (1) To report the different patterns of NAL and discuss the mechanisms encountered; (2) to determine the relationship between a given type of @entity706 and a specific @entity16 ; and (3) to assess the prognosis of NAL. METHODS: Among 150 @entity1 with @entity706 and @entity16 , we selected 26 in whom the @entity16 was not related to drug induced or IgM-antimyelin associated @entity16 . The pattern of @entity16 was defined in terms of its clinical and electrophysiological features. Neurological improvement, haematological remission and occurrence of @entity204 were taken into account to determine the prognosis. RESULTS: 13 @entity1 (50%) had a demyelinating @entity305 ( @entity305 ), seven (27%) had a @entity614 linked to proximal root tumoral infiltration and six (23%) had an @entity4216 (MM) related to @entity2617 or to @entity8231 . @entity978 was only associated with demyelinating @entity305 . High grade B cell @entity706 was strongly associated with @entity614 . Neurological improvement was observed in 69% of @entity1 with demyelinating @entity305 , 29% with @entity614 and 50% with MM. Haematological remission was observed in 46% of @entity1 with demyelinating @entity305 , 29% with @entity614 and 83% with MM. CONCLUSIONS: Demyelinating @entity305 , the most frequently observed @entity16 in this study, had the best neurological prognosis. Chemotherapy combined with immune mediated treatment was the most effective treatment in this group. Identifying the type and mechanism of NAL is crucial in order to define the therapeutic strategy and improve the prognosis.
