Multifocal motor neuropathy.
We report the case of a patient with multifocal motor neuropathy. Electrophysiological studies showed typical multifocal conduction blocks, but the search for anti-GM1 antibodies was negative. This case provide the heterogeneity of this clinical entity.
متن کاملPathophysiology of multifocal motor neuropathy
Multifocal motor neuropathy is a unique disease that not only challenges the electromyographer to make differential diagnosis from a fatal disease but also provides an opportunity to reconsider the mechanism of conduction block in demyelinating neuropathies. Conduction block or slowing is not always a consequence of demyelination, but can be due to membrane hyperpolarisation or depolarisation, ...
متن کاملMultifocal motor neuropathy: current concepts and controversies.
Multifocal motor neuropathy (MMN) is now a well-defined purely motor multineuropathy characterized by the presence of multifocal partial motor conduction blocks (CB), frequent association with anti-GM1 IgM antibodies, and usually a good response to high-dose intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) therapy. However, several issues remain to be clarified in the diagnosis, pathogenesis, and therapy of t...
متن کاملClinical Differential Diagnosis of Multifocal Motor Neuropathy
Multifocal motor neuropathy (MMN) is a rare, clinically well-defined condition within the spectrum of chronic, immune-mediated neuropathies. A typical patient history involves slowly or stepwise progressive, predominantly distal, asymmetrical limb weakness and muscle wasting, most frequently in the arm, that may have developed over a period of years. As a rare condition, MMN may present a diagn...
متن کاملActivity-dependent conduction block in multifocal motor neuropathy.
Previous studies suggested that activity-dependent conduction block (CB) contributes to weakness in multifocal motor neuropathy (MMN). Obtaining more robust evidence for activity-dependent CB is important because it may be a novel target for treatment strategies. We performed nerve conduction studies in 22 nerve segments of 19 MMN patients, before and immediately after 60 seconds of maximal vol...
