Multifocal motor neuropathy?

summary

Multifocal motor neuropathy, also known as multifocal demyelinating motor neuropathy, is a chronic multiple mononeuropathy with motor nerve involvement, which is a rare demyelinating peripheral neuropathy. Its clinical manifestation is progressive asymmetric limb weakness, mainly involving the distal end. The electrophysiological feature is persistent multifocal conduction block in the motor nerve.

Multifocal motor neuropathy?

The main manifestation of this disease is progressive asymmetric limb weakness, mainly involving the distal end. It may have very mild sensory disturbance, often accompanied by muscular atrophy, which is not parallel to myasthenia,

The upper limb is heavier than the lower limb, and the distal is heavier than the proximal. A few patients may have transient shoulder pain and mild paresthesia, but no definite and constant sensory disturbance.

Serum phosphokinase was slightly or moderately elevated, and high titer of anti-GM1 antibody was found in cerebrospinal fluid. The latter means that the amplitude and area of the compound muscle action potential produced by stimulating the motor nerve at two points at the proximal and distal end of the limb decreased by more than 20%,

matters needing attention

1. Strengthen nutrition, strengthen physique, prevent cold. 2. Practice the correct method of cough and expectoration to prevent secondary pulmonary infection. 3. Severe patients, unable to take care of themselves, are prone to anxiety, tension and other emotions.
