Giant nerves in chronic inflammatory polyradiculoneuropathy

Abstract

MRI and ultrasound contributed to diagnosis and therapy. All patients had giant NE in common, which strongly suggested inherited neuropathy. However, the final diagnosis was inflammatory neuropathy. Impressive NE can occur in immune-mediated neuropathies and should be carefully differentiated from inherited neuropathies. Muscle Nerve 55: 285-289, 2017.
