Neurological Peculiarities of <scp>POEMS</scp> Syndrome: Experience From a Brazilian University Center
Patients in our cohort had similar clinical profiles to previously reported data. However, unlike other large cohorts, our study showed a high proportion of IgG class paraprotein, non-length-dependent findings and conduction block on electrophysiology, and a lower number of cases associated with Castleman's disease. Our findings highlight the importance of pursuing a POEMS syndrome diagnosis even in the presence of atypical electrophysiological features.
