Abstract
Inflammatory sensory neuronopathies are rare disorders mediated by dysimmune mechanisms targeting sensory neurons in the dorsal root ganglia. They constitute a heterogeneous group of disorders with acute, subacute, or chronic courses, and occur with cancer, systemic autoimmune diseases, notably Sjögren syndrome, and viral infections but a noticeable proportion of them remains isolated. Identifying inflammatory sensory neuronopathies is crucial because they have the potential to be stabilized or even to improve with immunomodulatory or immunosuppressant treatments provided that the treatment is applied at an early stage of the disease, before a definitive degeneration of neurons. Biomarkers, and notably antibodies, are crucial for this early identification, which is the first step to develop therapeutic trials.
期刊介绍:
The first issue of the Revue Neurologique, featuring an original article by Jean-Martin Charcot, was published on February 28th, 1893. Six years later, the French Society of Neurology (SFN) adopted this journal as its official publication in the year of its foundation, 1899.
The Revue Neurologique was published throughout the 20th century without interruption and is indexed in all international databases (including Current Contents, Pubmed, Scopus). Ten annual issues provide original peer-reviewed clinical and research articles, and review articles giving up-to-date insights in all areas of neurology. The Revue Neurologique also publishes guidelines and recommendations.
The Revue Neurologique publishes original articles, brief reports, general reviews, editorials, and letters to the editor as well as correspondence concerning articles previously published in the journal in the correspondence column.
