A rare medical condition which is a sensory motor disorder.
This disease is progressive in nature or might be a symmetric relapsing.
The condition is a chronic monophasic manifesting as the weakness of the muscles which is usually progressive in nature.
The characteristic features of this disease are

- increased proteins in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)
- along with additional signs such as diminished tendon reflexes which might be occasionally absent
