| Abstract | The objective of this case report is to illustrate the problem's diagnosis of a CIDP revealing a associated disease. The patient had initially a sensory CIDP wich respond to prednisone. After 2 years, he worsened with motor deficit, pain and atypical skin's lesions. The diagnosis of POEMS syndrome was made only in the fourth research of monoclonal gammopathy. A specific treatment was realised but too late and a important motor deficit with axonal loss unfortunately persisted. |
