We describe a 58-year-old male with a few years history of multifocal weakness in the upper limbs with minimal to absent sensory complaints. He was diagnosed as having multiple compressive neuropathies, which required repeated decompressive surgeries. Electrodiagnostic studies prior to diagnosis wer
We studied 46 consecutive patients with multifocal motor neuropathy with conduction block (MMN-CB). Typically, asymmetric weakness and atrophy of the hands or arms developed insidiously, but spontaneous improvement (without treatment) or death from this disease did not occur and 94% remained employe
Diaphragmatic paralysis has previously been reported as a result of diverse pathologic processes involving the peripheral nervous system. We report the clinical history, physical findings, and antibody profile of an atypical case of multifocal motor neuropathy with conduction block initially present
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
