Sensorimotor Polyneuropathy After a Three-month Oral Acitretin Therapy

We report a patient with chronic plaque psoriasis who developed clinical and electrophysiologic features of polyneuropathy affecting motor and sensory fibers in upper and lower extremities after three months of treatment with oral acitretin. Drug withdrawal resulted in a complete clinical recovery and normalization of all electrophysiologic abnormalities within two months.
