概要
We describe a patient affected by chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) whose sural nerve biopsy revealed a marked edema of the myelin sheath. Since this change has been previously described in human peripheral nerves only in CIDP patients, we suggest that intramyelinic edema may have a role in the pathogenesis of demyelinating neuropathies.
