In addition, various organs could be involved with numerous extraglandular features, such as arthritis, Raynaud phenomenon, lymphoma, pulmonary disease, gastrointestinal disease, and neurological disease. Among the neurological diseases, sensory polyneuropathy is known to be the most common pattern, and mononeuropathy multiplex, polyradiculopathy, symptomatic dysautonomia, cranial neuropathy, myopathy, and central nervous system (CNS) involvement are less common [1]. …
