Primer Raynaud’s Phenomenon with sensorimotor demyelinating polyneuropathy: a case report

Abstract

Raynaud's phenomenon (RP) is characterized by color changes and episodic vasospasm in the distal parts of the body. Raynaud's phenomenon associated with sensorimotor demyelinating polyneuropathy has been rarely reported in the literature. Here, we aimed to present a 36-year-old male patient who was admitted to our clinic with complaints of discoloration, numbness, and tingling in the upper and lower extremities. A mixed type of sensorimotor demyelinating polyneuropathy was detected in nerve conduction studies of the patient. A significant improvement was observed within 2 months after pregabalin, acetylsalicylic acid, and nifedipine treatment.
