Pattern analysis of nerve enlargement using ultrasonography in chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy

Highlights • Ultrasonography revealed widespread hypoechoic enlargement of nerves, especially in proximal regions and non-entrapment sites, in CIDP patients. • Enlargement of the nerve cross-sectional area correlated well with nerve conduction velocity. • Five sites are identified as screening point...

Zusammenfassung:	Highlights • Ultrasonography revealed widespread hypoechoic enlargement of nerves, especially in proximal regions and non-entrapment sites, in CIDP patients. • Enlargement of the nerve cross-sectional area correlated well with nerve conduction velocity. • Five sites are identified as screening points for nerve CSA measurements to evaluate CIDP.
