Since the first description of chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP) by PJ Dyck's group at the Mayo Clinic 35 years ago, a wide range of publications have underlined the clinical, electrophysiologic and histopathologic heterogeneity of this disease. Expert consensus opinion is that CIDP should be considered in any patient with progressive symmetrical or asymmetrical polyradiculoneuropathy whose clinical course is relapsing and remitting or progresses for more than two months, especially if there are positive sensory symptoms, proximal weakness, are flexia without wasting, or preferential loss of vibration or joint-position sense.
