Abstract:
The objective of this study was to describe a case of sensory neuronopathy syndrome (SNS) with Ro antibodies who had nearly complete functional recovery with combination immunosuppression. Plasma exchange, azathioprine, and hydroxychloroquine were used in combination. The gait ataxia, kinesthetic sensation, and sensory response amplitudes showed considerable recovery with excellent functional outcomes. Prompt combined therapy with azathioprine and hydroxychloroquine is a promising therapy for patients with sensory neuronopathy syndrome and Ro antibodies.
