Abstract

The article discusses case study of a 50-year-old West African man who was suffering from raised cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) disease. Medical examination of the patient showed relapsing/remitting chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP). It is reported that CIDP occurs due to a multifocal inflammatory process which involves the spinal roots, plexuses and nerve trunks.
