Abstract
Two cases of polyneuropathy in patients with hypothyroidism are reported. In both cases, the polyneuropathy involved the lower limbs and was predominantly distal. It was sensorimotor in the first patient and purely sensory in the second one. Electrophysiological findings were consistent with an axonopathy. Symptoms and electrophysiological parameters improved with thyroid therapy. Neuropathy in such cases is probably related to the duration of hypothyroidism.
