Monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) is quite frequent in the general population. The association between MGUS and peripheral neuropathy (PN) was described in various studies demonstrating a higher than expected prevalence of PN in patients with MGUS. The demonstration of causality remains a diagnostic challenge as a coincidental association may also occur. Specific diagnostic criteria are available for only a few disorders: DADS, POEMS, amyloidosis, cryoglobulinemia. Data to guide management are quite limited. We present a short review of the literature and emphasise the need of a close collaboration between haematologists and neurologists for an optimal management.
