title: [Neuropathy associated with monoclonal gammopathy (dysglobulinemia)].
abstract: Neurological complications of monoclonal gammopathy, or dysglobulinemia, are typically affecting the peripheral nerve. The clinical course is often chronic and progressive and requires a precise diagnosis of the type of plasma cell disorder associated with the neuropathy, to investigate other organs manifestations and to assess the presence of specific markers. These steps are required to initiate an appropriate therapy that may include chemotherapy, immunosuppressive or immunomodulatory treatment.
