[Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy and sarcoidosis: fortuitous association?].
We report the case of a 36-year-old-man who first presented two relapses of chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) before a diagnosis of sarcoidosis was made. He subsequently presented two combined relapses of CIDP and sarcoidosis. Each time, the outcome was favorable after treatment with intravenous immunglobulins and steroids. The possible relationship between CIDP and sarcoidosis is discussed.
