5 Outline Introduction CIDP Diagnosis Clinical features MRI Nerve conduction tests Lumbar puncture Nerve biopsy Treatment IV Ig Steroids Plasma Exchnage

6 CIDP (1) Incidence 0.15 per 100,000 Prevalence per Mean age of onset 52 years (range 10-82) 20% of referrals to a specialist clinic

7 CIDP (2)- Clinical Progressive weakness (> 2 months) Weakness Distal and proximal Usually symmetrical Sensory loss Large fibre involvement Areflexia

8 CIDPclinical (other features) Cranial nerve lesions Repiratory involvement Autonomic features papilloedema.

9 CIDP - clues to diagnosis Upper limb onset Postural tremor Pseudoathetosis Weakness but no wasting Thickened nerves

10 Neuropathic tremor

11 CIDP - clinical course Progressive Relapsing and remitting monophasic RR then progressive GBS - like onset * Axonal loss correlated with prognosis

12 Outline Introduction CIDP Diagnosis Clinical features MRI Nerve conduction tests Lumbar puncture Nerve biopsy Treatment IV Ig Steroids Plasma Exchnage

13 PT MRI

14 Outline Introduction CIDP Diagnosis Clinical features MRI Nerve conduction tests Lumbar puncture Nerve biopsy Treatment IV Ig Steroids Plasma Exchnage

15 CIDP - investigations NCT and EMG MCV slowing (variable) Prolongation of DML Prolongation of f wave Conduction block Temporal dispersion

16 Outline Introduction CIDP Diagnosis Clinical features MRI Nerve conduction tests Lumbar puncture Nerve biopsy Treatment IV Ig Steroids Plasma Exchnage

17 CIDP - investigations Cell count < 10 cells CSF Protein > 1 gram (80%) Oligoclonal bands - maybe +

18 Outline Introduction CIDP Diagnosis Clinical features MRI Nerve conduction tests Lumbar puncture Nerve biopsy Treatment IV Ig Steroids Plasma Exchnage

19 CIDP - investigations nerve biopsy Demyelinated fibres Remyelinated nerve fibres Endoneurial inflammatory infltrates Schwann cell proliferation (onion bulbs) Macrophage stripping of myelin (EM) Endoneurial oedema

21 Indications for nerve biopsy in CIDP Discrepency between clinical, neurophysiology and CSF Evaluation of axonal loss as an indicator of prognosis in CIDP Bouchard C et al. Neurology;1999:

22 Nerve biopsy in CIDP Barohn et al. Arch Neurol 1989;46: % 21% 21% 18% demyelination axonal mixed normal

23 CIDP variants Monomelic CIDP Sensory ataxic variant CIDP + CNS involvement CIDP + MGUS (IgA & IgG) Anti-MAG IgM kappa paraproteinaemic demyelinating neuropathy Multifocal demyelinating motor and sensory neuropathy (Lewis Sumner syndrome) Multifocal motor neuropathy with conduction block

24 CIDP - differential diagnosis (1) Hereditary Toxic HMSN 1a,1b, X linked HNPP Refsum s disease MLD Globoid cell leucodystrophy Amiodarone perhexilene

25 CIDP - differential diagnosis (2) Paraproteinaemic Myeloma Waldenstrom s macroglobulinaemia POEMS Castlemans disease

26 Treatment of CIDP Corticosteroids PE ivig 65-95% response 80% 60-70%? Cheap rapid rapid Long term comp invasive relapses Gradual benefit expensive, expensive specialist centre blood product

27 Other immunosuppressive treatments Azathioprine Cycloposphamide Cyclosporine Mycophenalate Interferons
