Correlation of Nerve Ultrasound, Electrophysiological and Clinical Findings in Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE We present the nerve ultrasound findings in chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) and examine their correlation with electrophysiology and functional disability. METHODS A total of 75 healthy controls and 48 CIDP patients underwent clinical, sonogra...

Zusammenfassung:	ABSTRACT BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE We present the nerve ultrasound findings in chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) and examine their correlation with electrophysiology and functional disability. METHODS A total of 75 healthy controls and 48 CIDP patients underwent clinical, sonographic and electrophysiological evaluation a mean of 3.9 years(SD+/−2.7) after disease onset. RESULTS Nerve ultrasound revealed statistically significant higher cross‐sectional area (CSA) values of the median (P
