Patients who meet electrodiagnostic criteria for CIDP rarely present with a sensory predominant DSP phenotype

Introduction It is unknown how often patients with electrodiagnostic evidence of chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP), a potentially treatable condition, present distal symmetric polyneuropathy (DSP) phenotype. Methods We reviewed the records who presented to our laboratory between January 1, 2011 December 31, 2019 and fulfilled criteria for CIDP identify those sensory predominant DSP Results One hundred sixty-two had acquired neuropathy, whom 138 met typical or atypical CIDP. Nine these phenotype, among 6 were eventually diagnosed (DADS) 1 Polyneuropathy, Organomegaly, Endocrinopathy, Monoclonal protein, Skin changes (POEMS) syndrome 2 idiopathic DSP. The prevalence neuropathies all presenting phenotype was estimated be 0.34%. Discussion Patients meet rarely testing identifies in This article protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
