Utility of Paraneoplastic Antibody Testing in the Diagnosis of Motor Neuron Disease.
J Clin Neuromuscul Dis
December 2015
Objective: To evaluate the role of paraneoplastic autoantibody testing in the diagnosis of motor neuron disease (MND).
Background: There have been rare case reports of paraneoplastic MND that have prompted many physicians to test for paraneoplastic autoantibodies in patients with MND. Our study is the first to determine the utility of such testing.
Recurrent Isolated Sixth Nerve Palsy in Relapsing-Remitting Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy.
J Clin Neuromuscul Dis
September 2015
Introduction: Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) is an immune-mediated sensory and motor demyelinating polyneuropathy that typically presents as a relapsing-remitting or progressive disorder. Cranial neuropathies infrequently occur in association with other more typical symptoms of CIDP.
Case Report: We report a case of CIDP with recurrent isolated sixth nerve palsy.
