Chronic idiopathic axonal polyneuropathy: a five year follow up.
Seventy five patients with chronic idiopathic axonal polyneuropathy (CIAP) were studied for five years. The standardised and quantified neurological examination shows that progression of CIAP is slow, and handicap, if present, is not severe. During the follow up period a definite cause of the neuropathy was found in only four patients (two hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy type 2, one sen...

متن کاملChronic relapsing idiopathic polyneuropathy with primary axonal lesions.
Idiopathic polyradiculoneuropathy with primary axonal lesions is rarely encountered. Two cases are reported with a chronic relapsing course and a fatal outcome. Neuropathological examination of biopsied peripheral nerve in the two patients and in a necropsy case showed loss of myelinated fibres, but neither active demyelination nor inflammatory cells were observed. Acute and chronic relapsing a...

متن کاملStudy of Autophagy and Microangiopathy in Sural Nerves of Patients with Chronic Idiopathic Axonal Polyneuropathy
Twenty-five percent of polyneuropathies are idiopathic. Microangiopathy has been suggested to be a possible pathogenic cause of chronic idiopathic axonal polyneuropathy (CIAP). Dysfunction of the autophagy pathway has been implicated as a marker of neurodegeneration in the central nervous system, but the autophagy process is not explored in the peripheral nervous system. In the current study, w...
