Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension Secondary to Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyradiculoneuropathy.

Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP) is the most common immune-mediated inflammatory polyneuropathy, defined as progressive or relapsing symptoms for over two months with pathological or electrophysiological evidence of peripheral nerve demyelination.

Life-Threatening Myositis in a Patient With -Mutated NSCLC on Osimertinib: Case Report.
