    Chronic polyneuritis patients may develop corticosteroid dependence. This response is unpredictable, with one patient experiencing a fatal relapse despite no identifiable clinical or pathological indicators.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Immunology

    Background:

    • Chronic polyneuritis, a debilitating neurological disorder, presents diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.
    • Idiopathic inflammatory neuropathies can exhibit variable responses to immunosuppressive therapies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe three cases of chronic polyneuritis with unexpected corticosteroid dependence.
    • To investigate potential predictors of corticosteroid dependence in idiopathic polyneuritis.

    Main Methods:

    • Case series reporting clinical, electrophysiological, and pathological findings.
    • Longitudinal observation of treatment response and disease course.

    Main Results:

    • Three patients with chronic polyneuritis developed corticosteroid dependence.

  • One patient experienced a fatal relapse.
  • No specific clinical, electrophysiological, or pathological features predicted this response.

    • Conclusions:

    • Corticosteroid dependence can occur in chronic polyneuritis of unknown cause.
    • Predicting this treatment response remains challenging.
    • Further research is needed to understand the mechanisms underlying corticosteroid dependence in these cases.
