Abstract

Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP) is an acquired, immune-mediated neuropathy affecting peripheral nerves and nerve roots. It is characterized by symmetric weakness involving both proximal and distal muscles; it can be relapsing-remitting or progressive in course. The clinical manifestations of CIDP are various and may present with atypical features, like myokymia, tremor, or tremor-like phenomena, which may mislead the clinician in diagnosis.
