Immune-Mediated Neuropathies - 21/07/20
, A. Gordon Smith, MDRésumé |
The immune-mediated neuropathies are a broad category of diseases differentiated by time course, affected nerve fibers, and disease associations. This article spans the common, well-defined inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathies (Guillain-Barré syndrome and chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy) to the rarer, acquired demyelinating neuropathy variants (Miller-Fisher syndrome and multifocal motor neuropathy), vasculitic neuropathies, and sensory neuronopathies (dorsal root ganglionopathies). These case studies illustrate the characteristic clinical patterns of the immune-mediated neuropathies encountered in neurologic practice. Recommendations for diagnostic evaluation and treatment approach accompany each case. Prompt recognition of these disorders is imperative; delays in treatment may result in prolonged morbidity and permanent disability.
