    Author: Khadilkar S, Patel B, Mansukhani KA, Jaggi S.
    Journal: Muscle Nerve; 2017 Jan; 55(1):135-137. PubMed ID: 27530499.
    Abstract:
    INTRODUCTION: Immune-mediated demyelinating radiculopathies restricted to proximal sensory or motor roots are uncommon. METHODS: We report the clinical, electrophysiological, biochemical, and radiological features in 2 patients with chronic immune sensorimotor polyradiculopathy (CISMP). RESULTS: The patients presented with sensory ataxia, weakness of the lower limbs, and areflexia. Electrophysiological studies revealed involvement of proximal sensorimotor roots, as evidenced by changes in somatosensory evoked potentials, F-waves, and H-reflexes. In contrast, the distal nerve segments were normal. Magnetic resonance neurography findings of thickened and enhanced roots supported the electrophysiological findings. The response to immunosuppressive therapy was favorable in both patients. CONCLUSION: The findings from these 2 patients further expand the knowledge spectrum of immune polyradiculopathies.
