Neuroimaging Markers for Differential Diagnosis Between Multifocal Motor Neuropathy and Multifocal Acquired Demyelinating Sensory and Motor Neuropathy [PDF]
Анналы клинической и экспериментальной неврологииIntroduction. Similar asymmetric patterns of motor disorders and neurophysiological changes complicate the differential diagnosis between multifocal motor neuropathy (MMN) and multifocal acquired demyelinating sensory and motor neuropathy (MADSAM) as two

National Journal of Neurology, 2023 Introduction. Multifocal motor neuropathy (MMN) is a chronic autoimmune, multiple neuropathy with an isolated lesion of motor fibers, the development of asymmetric distal paresis with a predominant involvement of the hands. The disease is rare: the prevalence of MMN in the world is from 0.6-2.0 per 100 000 people.

The pathogenesis of multifocal motor neuropathy and an update on current management options
Therapeutic Advances in Neurological Disorders, 2015 Multifocal motor neuropathy (MMN) is a rare and disabling disease. Several experimental studies and clinical data are strongly suggestive of an immune-mediated pathogenesis, although underlying mechanisms in MMN seem to be very specific, mainly because ...
