title: Brachial plexopathy associated with systemic sclerosis.
abstract: Neurological involvement is uncommon in systemic sclerosis. Most of the reported cases concern trigeminal neuropathy or peripheral nerve entrapment. We report a third case of brachial plexopathy, presumably related to vasculitis, in a patient with systemic sclerosis, which improved after cyclophosphamide therapy.
