A 45-year-old man developed ophthalmoplegia and subsequently multiple cranial nerve palsies in association with bibrachial paresis. Investigations revealed evidence of conduction block occurring at a very proximal location (i.e., the spinal roots) and seemingly sparing sensory fibers. Other causes w
One of the defining electrophysiological characteristics of multifocal motor neuropathy (MMN) is focal motor nerve conduction block. We have noted occasional patients with typical clinical features of MMN in whom there is no demonstrable conduction block. Upon review of 5 such cases, we conclude tha
Multifocal motor neuropathy is a disorder characterized by slowly progressive asymmetrical limb weakness and multiple motor conduction blocks. We report a 56-year-old woman with this disorder who presented unusually with respiratory failure and who initially had absent responses to phrenic nerve sti
