Abstract:
Among the diverse array of neuropathies, autoimmune neuropathy stands out as a distinctive subset, where the body's immune system mistakenly attacks its nerve tissues, triggering inflammation and nerve damage. NF 186, also known as neurofascin 186, is a cell adhesion molecule crucial for the integrity and functioning of the peripheral nervous system. This case report highlights the clinical presentation specific to NF 186-positive autoimmune neuropathy and also the treatment modalities.
