Investigations showed a demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy with axonal degeneration and depletion of postganglionic noradrenergic fibers in the rectal mucosa. Intravenous immunoglobulin and corticosteroid administration were effective in alleviating symptoms and improving electrophysiological abnormalities. This neuropathy may be a novel variant of chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP), in which autoimmunoreactivity is directed not only against myelin but also against axon- or ganglion-composing protein. Autonomic nerve involvement does not exclude a diagnosis of CIDP. Muscle Nerve 2004 Citing Literature Volume31, Issue1January 2005Pages 108-112 RelatedInformation
