Autoantibodies in neuromuscular disorders: a review of their utility in clinical practice

Frontiers in Neurology
A great proportion of neuromuscular diseases are immune-mediated, included myasthenia gravis, Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome, acute- and chronic-onset autoimmune neuropathies (anti-MAG neuropathy, multifocal motor neuropathy, Guillain-Barré syndromes,

Immunosuppressant and immunomodulatory treatments for multifocal motor neuropathy [PDF]

, 2015
BACKGROUND: Multifocal motor neuropathy (MMN) is characterised by progressive, predominantly distal, asymmetrical limb weakness and usually multiple partial motor nerve conduction blocks.

Multifocal motor neuropathy and Campylobacter jejuni reactivity

, 2002
In some patients, Campylobacter jejuni infection has been associated with the development of multifocal motor neuropathy (MMN) and high titers of antiganglioside antibodies. The authors measured anti-C.

Immunosuppressant and immunomodulatory treatments for multifocal motor neuropathy

, 2012
Multifocal motor neuropathy is characterised by progressive, predominantly distal, asymmetrical limb weakness and usually multiple partial motor nerve conduction blocks. Intravenous immunoglobulin is beneficial but the role of immunosuppressive agents is

Is resistance to ischaemia of motor axons in diabetic subjects due to membrane depolarization? [PDF]

, 1990
The reasons for the resistance to ischaemia of peripheral nerves in diabetics are not well understood. We have now explored whether axonal depolarization underlies this phenomenon, as has previously been proposed.

Multifocal motor neuropathy and asymptomatic Hashimotos’s thyroiditis : first report of an association

, 2002
Motor neuropathy with multifocal conduction blocks represents a recently identified autoimmune disorder of the peripheral nerve myelin. Association of motor neuropathies or neuronopathies with thyroid disorders, such as hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism or

Multifocal Motor Neuropathy with Persistent Conduction Block: The Seminal Case.

, 2020
Although multifocal motor neuropathy (MMN) is now recognized as a distinct, albeit rare, neurological condition, the path to its recognition was long and winding.

Late onset biotinidase deficiency presenting with optic neuropathy and multifocal motor neuropathy phenotype: a case report and literature review

Journal of Rare Diseases
Background Biotinidase deficiency (BTD) is a rare, autosomal recessive neurometabolic disorder that is highly treatable but frequently underdiagnosed, particularly in its late-onset form. It may present with atypical neurological manifestations mimicking

Clinical neurological aspects of multifocal motor neuropathy

, 2016
A neuropatia motora multifocal (NMM) é uma neuropatia inflamatória de baixa prevalência, 0,6/100.000 pacientes, caracterizada por uma fraqueza muscular progressiva, assimétrica e distal, sem comprometimento sensitivo.
