[Mixed connective tissue disease (Sharp syndrome) with involvement of the trigeminal nerve and facial paralysis].
The authors report a case of mixed connective tissue disease with involvement of the fifth and seventh cranial nerves. While involvement of the trigeminal nerve is well-known, that of the seventh nerve is much less so. However, seventh nerve involvement is beginning to be recognized in other connective tissue diseases such as scleroderma. Neurological manifestations in Sharp syndrome are reviewed.
