Abstract
- <bold>Introduction: </bold>Immune-mediated demyelinating radiculopathies restricted to proximal sensory or motor roots are uncommon.<bold>Methods: </bold>We report the clinical, electrophysiological, biochemical, and radiological features in 2 patients with chronic immune sensorimotor polyradiculopathy (CISMP).<bold>Results: </bold>The patients presented with sensory ataxia, weakness of the lower limbs, and areflexia. Electrophysiological studies revealed involvement of proximal sensorimotor roots, as evidenced by changes in somatosensory evoked potentials, F-waves, and H-reflexes. In contrast, the distal nerve segments were normal. Magnetic resonance neurography findings of thickened and enhanced roots supported the electrophysiological findings. The response to immunosuppressive therapy was favorable in both patients.<bold>Conclusion: </bold>The findings from these 2 patients further expand the knowledge spectrum of immune polyradiculopathies.
