- Abstract
The article describes the case of a 44-year-old woman diagnosed with polyradiculoneuropathy involving the facial nerve and spinal nerve roots. Magnetic resonance imaging was performed to search for carcinomatous infiltration of nerve roots. A differential diagnosis of porphyria and lupus were considered. Schirmer's test was made after the woman's facial palsy was resolved.
