title: Primary Sjögren's Syndrome Presenting as Flaccid Quadriparesis.
abstract: Primary Sjögren's syndrome is an autoimmune disease presenting classically as keratoconjunctivitis sicca. Renal involvement in Sjögrens's syndrome is less common, and the initial presentation with renal complications without any sicca symptoms is extremely rare. The renal involvement may present with symptoms arising from interstitial nephritis, mainly distal renal tubular acidosis.
