  • Title: [Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) revealing an associated disease diagnostic and therapeutic pitfalls].
    Author: Maisonobe T, Jaccard A.
    Journal: Rev Neurol (Paris); 2007 Sep; 163 Spec No 1():3S61-7. PubMed ID: 18087232.
    Abstract:
    The objective of this case report is to illustrate the problem's diagnosis of a CIDP revealing a associated disease. The patient had initially a sensory CIDP wich respond to prednisone. After 2 years, he worsened with motor deficit, pain and atypical skin's lesions. The diagnosis of POEMS syndrome was made only in the fourth research of monoclonal gammopathy. A specific treatment was realised but too late and a important motor deficit with axonal loss unfortunately persisted.
