Implication

Randomized trial studies nerve hypertrophy patterns in cholinergic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy, indicating distinct subtype characteristics.

Key Points

This research aims to investigate the patterns of nerve enlargement in chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP).
Performed magnetic resonance neurography with 3D reconstruction in 33 CIDP patients.
Examined morphological changes in nerves from cervical roots to nerve trunks.
Analyzed hypertrophy patterns according to CIDP subtypes.
Nerve enlargement was detected in 88% of patients.
Typical CIDP patients exhibited symmetric and root-dominant hypertrophy.
Lewis-Sumner syndrome patients showed multifocal fusiform hypertrophy in nerve trunks.
