title: [Polyradiculoneuritis in visceral cancer. Review of the literature. Apropos of 2 cases].
abstract: One should distinguish two types of polyradiculoneuritis during visceral carcinoma. Metastic polyneuritis and paraneoplastic polyneuritis. They fulfil distinct anatomical criteria and their pathogenesis is different. Both, however, have clinical analogies and a similar course. The survival time in both types is usually a few weeks. It rarely exceeds one year.
