Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) as an immunosuppressive agent is widely used in the management of Membranous Glomerulonephropathy (MGN). In this report, we describe a 66-year-old male MGN case treated with MMF and revealed acquired sensory-motor axonal polyneuropathy, which is rare and has not been reported before.

AbstractObjectivesDescribe a case with axonal Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) type 2W, a neurological disease characterized by peripheral neuropathy typically involving the lower limbs and causing gait alterations and distal sensory-motor impairment.Case presentationWe report this case, where the application of massive genetic sequencing (NGS) with clinical exome in a molecular genetics laboratory enabled to detect the presence of candidate variants of the clinic of the patient.ConclusionsThe variant detected in HARS gene suggests that this variant could be causative of the symptoms of the patient, who went undiagnosed for 20 years and experienced an exacerbation of symptoms over time.

Context: Neurological manifestations of Sars-CoV-2 are progressively emerging. Cases of Guillain-Barré syndrome and its variants, with onset about 5-10 days after influenza symptoms, have been described. This paper reports a case of polyneuropathy with onset 90 days after a sore throat episode and persistence of IgM positivity in serology for Sars- Cov-2. We aim to raise awareness of this possibility. Case Report: A 56-year-old male, hypertensive, presented with sore throat on April 21, 2020. Serology for Covid-19 was performed with positive IgM. There was complete improvement of the symptom. At the end of July, he started a symmetrical paresthesia in the feet with ascension to the knees and, on August 20, paresthesia in the hands too. So, he went to IAMSPE (SP) and tactile and painful hypoesthesia in hands and feet, hypopalesthesia in lower limbs, a fall in the lower limbs upon Mingazzini’s maneuver, global hyporeflexia and talon gait were found. Just the following tests were changed: second Covid-19 serology IgM and IgG positives; ENMG: sensory motor polyneuropathy, primarily axonal, with signs of chronicity and without signs of acute denervation in the current. Started gabapentin and physical therapy. Patient still has paresthesia in hands and feet, but with partial improvement. Conclusion: This case alerts to neurological symptoms of Covid-19 in the medium and long term.

Peripheral neuropathy due to vasculitis without any complications of vasculitis in other organs was first reported in 1987. This condition was termed non-systemic vasculitic neuropathy (NSVN). Although vasculitis is believed to develop in small arteries and arterioles in this disease, the level of vascular involvement has not been fully established. We present a case of NSVN followed up by MR angiography, which was thought to be useful to assess the level as well as the state of vascular lesions in this condition.
