Abstract
|
|
|
|
Gradual progressive weakness in a patient with diabetes mellitus can be caused by several conditions, including myelopathy, motor neuron disease, chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP), and myopathy. Diagnosing the exact cause of progressive muscle weakness can be challenging in the presence of diabetic polyneuropathy (DPN). We report a case of CIDP with DPN in a 64-year-old woman who was initially misdiagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. This case also demonstrates the importance of using the correct dose and duration for the treatment of CIDP.
