Sensory pathophysiology in chronic acquired demyelinating neuropathy.
Pathophysiological changes in sensory fibres in chronic acquired demyelinating neuropathy (CADP) are poorly understood, and it is not known to what extent sensory loss may be due to axonal loss or to conduction block. Motor and sensory nerve condition were studied in 18 patients with CADP to delineate abnormalities in the compound sensory action potential (CSAP) recorded proximally along the li...

INTRODUCTION Sensory chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) can be difficult to diagnose. METHODS We report 22 patients with chronic sensory polyneuropathy with ≥1 clinical sign atypical for chronic idiopathic axonal polyneuropathy (CIAP) but no electrodiagnostic criteria for CIDP. RESULTS Clinical signs atypical for CIAP were: sensory ataxia (59%), generalized areflexia (...

Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP) is a rare neurological disease. Definitive therapy is not yet established. We report our use of intravenous Immunoglobulin (iv IgG) in two cases of CIDP and review the therapeutic options available. Intravenous IgG is a ubiquitous practical treatment particularly in patients who do not respond to steroids and where a rapid response is req...

Touch MEdical MEdia 47 Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a leading cause of peripheral neuropathy.1–3 A distal symmetric sensorimotor polyneuropathy (DSP), is the most common manifestation,4 and is considered to be mainly due to axonal degeneration and progressive loss of nerve fibers.5–7 However, focal and multifocal peripheral nerve lesions, comprising cranial, thoracoabdominal, and limb nerve lesion...

Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) is an acquired immune-mediated disease of the peripheral nervous system with a prevalence of 1-2/100,000. Clinical and experimental findings suggest a role of immune pathomechanisms;however, the target antigens are still unknown. Beside classic CIDP with symmetrical proximal and distal paresis, subgroups of CIDP with pure motor or sensory...
