RESUMO
Transthyretin familial amyloid polyneuropathy is an autosomal dominant inherited sensorimotor and autonomic polyneuropathy, which if untreated, leads to death in approximately 10 years. In Brazil, liver transplant and tafamidis are the only disease-modifying treatments available. This review consists of a consensus for the diagnosis, management and treatment for transthyretin familial amyloid polyneuropathy from the Peripheral Neuropathy Scientific Department of the Brazilian Academy of Neurology. The first and last authors produced a draft summarizing the main views on the subject and emailed the text to 10 other specialists. Relevant literature on this subject was reviewed by each participant and used for the individual review of the whole text. Each participant was expected to review the text and send a feedback review by e-mail. Thereafter, the 12 panelists got together at the city of Fortaleza, discussed the controversial points, and reached a consensus for the final text.

RESUMO Polineuropatia amiloidótica familiar é uma polineuropatia sensitivo-motora e autonômica de herança autossômica dominante, que caso não seja tratada leva a morte em aproximadamente 10 anos. O transplante de fígado e o tafamidis são os únicos tratamentos disponíveis no Brasil. Essa revisão consiste em um consenso do Departamento Científico de Neuropatias Periféricas da Academia Brasileira de Neurologia. O primeiro e último autores produziram um texto resumindo os principais aspectos sobre o tema e enviaram para os outros 10 especialistas por email. A literatura relevante sobre o assunto foi revisada por cada participante e utilizada para revisão individual do texto. Foi esperado que cada participante revisasse o texto e enviasse suas sugestões por e-mail. Finalmente, os 12 panelistas se encontraram na cidade de Fortaleza para discutir os pontos controversos e chegar a um consenso sobre texto final.
