Hereditary neuropathy with liability to pressure palsies as a possible predisposing factor to the development of Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy

Abstract

Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) is a symmetric distal muscle weakness and sensory deficit accompanied with diminished or absent deep tendon reflexes. Hereditary neuropathy with liability to pressure palsies (HNPP) is a hereditary neuropathy presenting with transient muscle weakness and sensory symptoms after exposure to pressure or prolonged use in the affected area.
