Abstract
The dermato-neuro syndrome is a rare neurological complication of scleromyxedema. Its pathophysiology is unknown. The monoclonal gammopathy induced by the scleromyxedema could account for the patient's hypercoagulable state and for the formation of neutrophilic aggregates leading to impaired microcirculation. Treatment is empirical and poorly codified. The course of the disease is unpredictable and may be lethal.
