Abstract
Isolated cranial nerve involvement in primary Sjögren's syndrome (primary SS) has rarely been described. We report the case of a patient with sensory neuropathy of the trigeminal and also the glossopharyngeal and vagal nerves, which has not been identified previously. The electrophysiological findings in our patient with primary SS confirmed trigeminal sensory neuropathy with abnormal blink reflexes and abnormal cutaneous masseter inhibitory reflexes.Entities:
