RESUMO
A woman with Crohn's disease developed acute neuropathy and concomitant encephalopathy while being treated with infliximab. The etiological investigations were negative. Infliximab was stopped and she was given four series of polyvalent immunoglobulin injections. Eighteen months later, the encephalitic symptoms had disappeared and the neuropathic symptoms were less severe. TNF-alpha antagonists have been previously blamed for triggering neurological disorders, but no cases of acute neuropathy concomitant with encephalopathy have been reported so far.
