Peripheral motor-sensory neuropathy in membranous lipodystrophy (Nasu's disease): a case report.

A case of membranous lipodystrophy (ML) with peripheral polyneuropathy (PN) is described. A 40-year-old woman presented with dementia, multiple lytic bone lesions with typical membranous material in adipose tissues and neurophysiological and pathological findings of peripheral neuropathy. We describe the first case of ML with PN. It is interesting since nerve involvement might be an additional cause of symptoms usually attributed to bone lesions.

Sensitized nociceptors in reflex sympathetic dystrophies.

Painful neurogenic syndromes commonly diagnosed as reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD) may not be the consequence of sympathetic dysfunction. Recent experimental data on the mechanism of hyperalgesia indicate that the primary pathophysiological mechanism of RSD may be sensitization of either peripheral nociceptors, or central neurons, or both. The sympathetic system might be involved in maintaining this condition, but this is not always the case. This presentation is an attempt to interpret clinical neuropathic syndromes on the basis of new scientific knowledge.
