Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy.
The syndrome of acute inflammatory idiopathic polyneuropathy is well known, the predominently motor type of which is recognised by the name of Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS), in which the maximum neurological deficit develops rapidly in days, plateaus for weeks and then subsides with the recovery occurring in weeks to months. Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP) has e...
متن کاملAutonomic dysfunction in chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy.
OBJECTIVES Autonomic deficits in chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP) have not been adequately quantitated. The Composite Autonomic Severity Score (CASS) is a validated instrument for laboratory quantitation of autonomic failure derived from standard autonomic reflex tests. We characterized dysautonomia in CIDP using CASS. METHODS Autonomic function was retrospecti...
متن کاملChronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyradiculoneuropathy and Related Disorders
The first case of recurrent neuritis was published by Eichhorst in 1890 (1). In 1958, Austin (2) described steroid responsiveness, recurrence and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) protein elevation. Dyck and colleagues (3) described the clinicopathological findings of monophasic progression, steady deterioration, stepwise progression and recurrence, with histologic peripheral nervious system (PNS) infl...
متن کاملPathogenesis of chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy.
Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) is a term applied to a spectrum of immune-mediated demyelinating neuropathies that are heterogeneous in clinical manifestations and probably in pathogenesis. Although histopathologic studies of CIDP have been complicated by a relapsing course of the inflammatory reaction and its predominance in proximal nerve segments, many clues point to...
متن کاملIntravenous immunoglobulin response in treatment-naïve chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy.
OBJECTIVE There is no consensus on which treatment should be used preferentially in individual patients with chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP). Patients unlikely to respond to intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) could be prescribed corticosteroids first to avoid high cost and a delayed treatment response. We investigated which factors determined a response to IVIg. METHOD...
