P 26 Evaluation of clinical, electrophysiological, sonographic and MRI characteristics of the CIDP spectrum disorder

Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) is an autoimmune disease with a wide spectrum of clinical presentation and treatment response. Electrophysiological studies constitute the gold standard used to characterise CIDP patients and contribute to treatment decisions. However, mostly at late stages electrophysiological methods show a pronounced axonal damage and are not able to distinguish CIDP subtypes. Therefore, therapeutic decisions have to be based solely on the clinical course.
