In this article, we have assessed the value of plasmapheresis as a tool for treatment of patients with neurologic disorders. We chose to use the more common term "plasmapheresis," which technically means removal of plasma only, for the proper term, "plasma exchange," which technically refers to both removal of plasma and its replacement. In the literature, these terms are used interchangeably.
