ABSTRACT

The chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP) is an unusual but important complication of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) rarely reported to date. We describe a 17-year-old woman with a diagnosis of acute myeloid leukemia due to Fanconi's anemia who was submitted to allogeneic HSCT and developed CIDP as part of graft-versus-host disease. Investigation showed high cerebrospinal fluid protein; electrophysiological studies revealed sensory-motor demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy; muscle and nerve biopsy were compatible with CIDP.


A polirradiculoneuropatia desmielinizante inflamatória crônica (CIDP) é uma incomum, porém, importante complicação do transplante de células hematopoiéticas (HSCT) raramente relatada até a data. Nós descrevemos uma mulher de 17 anos com diagnóstico de leucemia mielóide aguda por anemia de Fanconi que foi submetida à HSCT e desenvolveu CIDP como parte da doença do enxerto contra o hospedeiro. A investigação mostrou elevação na proteína no líquor; estudo eletrofisiológico revelando polirradiculoneuropatia desmielinizante sensitivo-motora; e biópsia de músculo e nervo compatível com CIDP.
