Rationale: Locked-in syndrome (and its variant, completely locked-in state) generally has a high mortality rate in the acute setting; however, when induced by conditions such as acute inflammatory polyradiculoneuropathy, it may well be curable such that an attempt at cure should be systematically sought by clinicians.
Patient Concerns: A 52-year-old man presented with acute tetraparesia and areflexia, initially diagnosed as Guillain-Barré syndrome. Despite appropriate treatment, his condition deteriorated, evolving into a completely locked-in state.

Background And Objectives: While it is well characterized in adults, little is known about the clinical features of neurofascin 155-IgG4 autoimmune nodopathy (NF155-IgG4 AN) in the pediatric population. In this study, we aimed to describe the clinical features and treatment outcomes in children diagnosed with neurofascin 155-IgG4 autoimmune nodopathy (NF155-IgG4 AN).
Methods: Pediatric and adult patients with NF155-IgG4 AN were identified retrospectively through the Mayo Clinic Neuroimmunology Laboratory database.

Diabetic sensorimotor neuropathy (DSPN) is strongly associated with the extent of cellular oxidative stress and endothelial dysfunction in type 2 diabetes (T2DM). Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) attenuates the progression of DSPN through its antioxidant and vasculoprotective effects. Kallistatin has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

The inhibition of the neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) is a promising therapeutic pathway in certain autoimmune disorders to reduce the amount of circulating pathogenic IgG autoantibodies by interfering with their recycling system. FcRn antibodies are currently being tested in chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP). This study aimed to investigate the therapeutic potential of an antibody targeting FcRn in the intracellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM1)-deficient NOD mouse-a model representative for many aspects of human CIDP.

Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) encompasses a diverse group of genetic forms of inherited peripheral neuropathy and stands as the most common hereditary neurologic disease worldwide. At present, no disease-modifying treatments exist for any form of CMT. However, promising therapeutic strategies are rapidly emerging, necessitating careful consideration of clinical outcome assessments (COAs) and clinical trial design.
