Neuropathic arthropathy associated with chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy.
We report a patient who developed acute neuropathic arthropathy secondary to chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy. The association between these two conditions has not been previously reported. Their relationship is important to understand, as many other forms of inflammatory polyradiculoneuropathy share a similar pathology and are therefore susceptible to a similar complication.
