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
## Abstract Multifocal motor neuropathy (MMN) is associated with serum autoantibodies to gangliosides, but their pathogenic role is uncertain. We have used a novel approach to study the effects of serum and plasma from 8 patients with this syndrome, 6 of whom were antiβGM1 positive. The nerve stimu
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
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
