This technique clearly showed longitudinal morphological changes from the cervical roots to the nerve trunks in the proximal arm. Nerve enlargement was detected in 88% of the patients. According the clinical subtypes of CIDP, typical CIDP patients showed symmetric and root-dominant hypertrophy, whereas Lewis Sumner syndrome patients had multifocal fusiform hypertrophy in the nerve trunks. The patterns of nerve hypertrophy presumably reflects the different pathophysiology of each CIDP subtypes. This article is protected by copyright.
