ABSTRACT

A ganglionopatia é uma entidade rara que consiste na afecção dos neurônios sensitivos da raiz dorsal, fazendo parte do grupo das polineuropatias periféricas do tipo exclusivamente sensitivo com comprometimento axonal e tendo seu diagnóstico feito através de estudo eletroneuromiográfico. A associação entre a ganglionopatia e outras patologias como neoplasias, doenças autoimunes, doença celíaca, entre outras é amplamente citada na literatura. O objetivo deste trabalho é descrever o caso clínico de um paciente com diagnóstico de neoplasia pulmonar cuja manifestação inicial foi a ganglionopatia, incluindo a descrição detalhada do exame eletroneuromiográfico que auxiliou no processo diagnóstico do médico assistente. Concluímos ser importante que o médico neurofisiologista tenha em mente as possíveis causas da ganglionopatia e saiba apontar o médico assistente para que a investigação possa ser realizada de maneira completa e precoce


Ganglionopathy is a rare condition defined by an injury to the sensory neurons in the dorsal root ganglion. This disease belongs to a group of peripheral polyneuropathies with an exclusively sensory and axonal pattern and its diagnoses can be made by an electromyoneurographic study. The association between ganglionopathy and other underlying pathologies, such as some types of cancer, autoimmune diseases, and celiac disease is often mentioned in published studies. The purpose of this report was to describe the case of a patient suffering from ganglionopathy including a detailed discussion of the electromyoneurographic study that led the attending physician to a diagnosis of neoplastic lung disease. The conclusion therefore was that it is important for the neurophysiology specialist to keep in mind the possible causes of ganglionopathy and, through this diagnosis, to help the attending physician in making an early and full workup of the patient
