Peripheral Neuropathy in Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients: An Electroneurophysiological Study/ Romatoid Artritli Hastalarda Periferik Noropati: Elektronorofizyolojik Calisma (Original Article/Orijinal Arastirma) (Report‪)‬

Introduction Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic disease of unknown etiology that primarily affects the joints, but involves nonarticular sites, including the skin, heart, lungs, eyes and the nervous system. Nervous system involvement can be variable in RA patients. The most common lesion is peripheral neuropathy, including entrapment neuropathy, distal axonal predominantly sensory polyneuropathy, mononeuropathy or multiple mononeuropathy, as well as fulminant sensorimotor polyneuropathy (1).
