is
an immune disorder that is characterized by:
- MULTIFOCALITY
- Focal
weakness in many areas such as wrist drop, grip weakness, impaired
dexterity, or foot drop.
- MOTOR
- Although nerves are composed of motor and sensory
fibers, only motor fibers are affected in MMN. Patients therefore
only complain of weakness but no sensory symptoms or signs (tingling,
pain or numbness. Cramps or muscle twitching (fasciculations) may
be present.
- NEUROPATHY
- Weakness is a result of a block in conduction along
the nerve with radial, common peroneal, median, or ulnar nerves frequently
being affected.
