Introduction: Amyloidosis derived from transthyretin (TTR) molecules is typically caused by mutations of the TTR gene.
Methods: We describe an elderly patient with a severe length-dependent polyneuropathy that unexpectedly proved to be caused by wild-type transthyretin amyloidosis.
Results: The diagnosis was made by muscle biopsy, because no amyloid deposits were found in the biopsied nerve segment.
