Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery, and Psychiatry
|July 1, 1989
Summary
Rare cases of idiopathic polyradiculoneuropathy with axonal damage present a chronic relapsing course. Neuropathology revealed axonal loss without inflammation, distinguishing it from Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS).
Area of Science:
- Neurology
- Pathology
- Clinical Neuroscience
Background:
- Idiopathic polyradiculoneuropathy with primary axonal lesions is infrequently observed.
- This condition can manifest with a chronic, relapsing clinical course.
- A fatal outcome has been noted in some cases.
