“…34 Neurologic complications including central demyelination and optic neuritis are also described. 41,46 There have been cases of variant forms of demyelinating neuropathy attributed to TNF-␣ therapy, but Lewis-Sumner syndrome (LSS) has not previously been reported. LSS is an acquired immune-mediated sensory and motor neuropathy characterized by asymmetric weakness and sensory impairment in the pattern of a mononeuropathy multiplex with nerve conduction slowing and persistent conduction block.…”
