It has been suggested that multifocal motor neuropathy is distinct from chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy and that Lewis-Sumner syndrome is a distinct variant type of chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy. [53] The Lewis-Sumner form of this condition is considered a rare disease with only 50 cases reported up to 2004 ...
The most common cause is acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy AIDP, the most common form of Guillain–Barré syndrome [13] (although other causes include chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy) [14] Neuronopathy is the result of issues in the peripheral nervous system (PNS) neurons.
See Anti-neurofascin demyelinating diseases. Some anti-neurofascin demyelinating diseases were previously considered a subtype of Multiple Sclerosis but now they are considered a separate entity, as it happened before to anti-MOG and anti-AQP4 cases. Around 10% of MS cases are now thought to be anti-Neurofascin disease in reality. [34]
In the 1950s, further classification occurred and separated patients into two distinct groups. Group one was characterized by slow nerve conduction velocities and demyelinating neuropathy. Group two was characterized by mostly normal nerve conduction velocities and degeneration of axons. In 1968, HMSN were classified again into seven groups: [1 ...
The demyelinating diseases of the peripheral nervous system include: [citation needed] Guillain–Barré syndrome and its chronic counterpart, chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy; Anti-MAG peripheral neuropathy; Charcot–Marie–Tooth disease and its counterpart Hereditary neuropathy with liability to pressure palsy
The rate of incidence of alcoholic polyneuropathy involving sensory and motor polyneuropathy has been stated as from 10% to 50% of alcoholics depending on the subject selection and diagnostic criteria. If electrodiagnostic criteria are used, alcoholic polyneuropathy may be found in up to 90% of individuals being assessed. [4]
