ABSTRACT
Sjögren’s syndrome is a systemic autoimmune disease that may affect not only the exocrine glands but also other organs and tissues. Changes in different sections of the peripheral nervous system result in a wide spectrum of neuropathic manifestations. The following are the most common neurological manifestations in Sjögren’s syndrome: sensory neuropathy, which presents with distal symmetric sensory loss due to axonal degeneration, sensory ataxia due to damage to the neurons of the dorsal root ganglions, or painful dysesthesias due to changes in the small intradermal nerves. This review describes a variety of clinical manifestations resulting from peripheral nervous system damage in the course of Sjögren’s syndrome with special attention to their prevalence and their different pathogenetic mechanisms, treatment and prognosis.
