Abstract:
The authors report the clinical case of a 7-year-old child with gradual development in left leg weakness considering by the neurologist as the unknown lesion of the sciatic nerve. According to the results of clinical and instrumental examinations, the diagnosis was established as a focal form of chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP). The dysimmune cause of the disease was confirmed by MRI of the lumbosacral plexus with contrast enhancement of neural structures and response to therapy with high-dose intravenous immunoglobulin in combination with corticosteroids.
