title: [Peripheral neuropathy in progressive systemic sclerosis].
abstract: We report a patient that developed a sensorimotor polyneuropathy more than a year before the appearance of the typical clinical signs of progressive systemic sclerosis. A sural nerve biopsy showed epineural vasculitis with involvement of the basal membrane of the endoneural vessels, without proliferation of the connective tissue.
