[Peripheral polyneuropathy after heat stroke].

The authors report the case of a woman who developed a peripheral polyneuropathy after heat stroke. All the classical aetiologies of neuropathy were excluded. The final diagnostic was residual peripheral neuropathy provoked by heat stroke. The sequella of heat stroke are dominated by cerebellar compromise, but this case shows that peripheral polyneuropathies exist even if they are rare. They raise the issue of care because of severe neurological sequella.
