Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy

Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy

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

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