ABSTRACT

Several entities can be put under the heading of chronic acquired demyelinating polyneuropathy. Future research will hopefully provide a greater understanding of pathophysiology, which may suggest the ideal way to classify and manage these patients. In the meantime, it is reasonable and useful to use clinical, laboratory, and electrodiagnostic data to classify patients in ways that facilitate identification and treatment. This article outlines an approach to the diagnosis and management of chronic acquired demyelinating polyneuropathies.
