    Systemic sclerosis rarely causes polyneuropathy. This case confirms nerve inflammation, indicated by elevated IgG in cerebrospinal fluid, as the likely cause.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Rheumatology
    • Immunology

    Background:

    • Systemic sclerosis is a rare cause of polyneuropathy.
    • Nerve compression from proliferative changes is a suspected mechanism.

    Observation:

    • A patient presented with polyneuropathy.
    • Morphological verification via nerve biopsy confirmed the condition.

    Findings:

    • Elevated immunoglobulin G (IgG) in cerebrospinal fluid was detected.
    • This suggests an inflammatory etiology for the polyneuropathy.

    Implications:

    • Highlights a rare neurological complication of systemic sclerosis.
    • Suggests inflammatory mechanisms, not solely mechanical compression, may be involved.
