Abstract

Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy [CIDP] is the most common autoimmune polyneuropathy in adults. It is characterized by weakness in both proximal and distal muscle groups, areflexia, slower onset [greater than 8 weeks], electrodiagnostic features of conduction block with asymmetric conduction velocity slowing, and cytoalbuminologic dissociation [elevated CSF protein without pleocytosis] [1]. Electrodiagnostic studies in acquired demyelination are consistent with conduction block which shows a decreasing amplitude of the compound muscle action potential [CMAP] at more proximal stimulation sites
