Abstract:
Hypogammaglobulinemia has rarely been linked with neuropathy. We report a case of a young female who presented with foot drop due to sciatic neuropathy in the context of hypogammaglobulinemia and had significant clinical improvement after intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) treatment. To our knowledge, this is the second report that manifests evidence of immune-mediated neuropathy in the presence of hypogammaglobulinemia.
