Unusual Amyloid Polyneuropathy with Predominant Lumbosacral Nerve Roots and Plexus Involvement
Neurol 41:206-208, Antoine,J.C.,et al, 1991
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
We report a 25-year-old patient with a progressive asymmetric peripheral neuropathy of the distal lower limbs.Imaging studies showed enlargement of lumbosacral roots,plexus,and proximal sciatic nerve.Sacral plexus biopsy revealed amyloidosis associated with endoneurial edema. Immunohistochemistry with anti-prealbumin,serum amyloid A,and immunoglobulin light chain antisera failed to label the amyloid.
