RESUMEN

Introducción:

La Polineuropatía Desmielinizante Inflamatoria Crónica (CIDP) es tiene diferentes formas clínicas de presentación; la forma idiopática y la relacionada con enfermedades concurrentes. Los estudios neurofisiológicos juegan un papel determinante en el diagnóstico.

Objetivos:

Nos propusimos comparar la evolución electrofisiológica a través del análisis de las variables evaluadas a través del estudio de conducción nerviosa de un grupo de pacientes con CIDP primaria y secundaria en dos momentos evolutivos de la enfermedad.

Metodos:

Se estudiaron 9 pacientes con CIDP primaria 6 con CIDP relacionada con diabetes mellitus, esclerosis múltiple y adenocarcinoma. Se les realizó estudio de conducción nerviosa de los nervios de extremidades, en el momento del diagnóstico de la enfermedad y al año de tratamiento. Se compararon las variables electrofisiológicas en ambos momentos utilizando técnicas de estadística no paramétricas.

Resultados:

Los pacientes con CIDP primaria mostraron mejoría evolutiva de las variables electrofisiológicas, con normalización del estudio en dos casos. Mientras que en los pacientes con CIDP secundaria existió empeoramiento.

Conclusiones:

Concluimos que los pacientes con CIDP secundaria muestran una evolución electrofisiológica tórpida con pronóstico reservado.
ABSTRACT

Introduction:

Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP) has different forms of presentation; the idiopathic form and that related to concurrent diseases. The neurophysiological studies play a fundamental role in the diagnosis. Objetives We proposed to compare the electrophysiological evolution by analyzing the variables evaluated through the nervous conduction study of a group of patients with primary and secondary CIDP at two evolutive moments of the disease.

Methods:

9 patients with primary CIDP and 6 with CIDP related to diabetes mellitus, multiple sclerosis and adenocarcinoma were studied. A nervous conduction study of the nerves of the extremities was performed at the moment of the diagnosis of the disease and a year after treatment. The electrophysiological variables were compared in both moments by using nonparametric statistical techniques.

Results:

The patients with primary CIDP showed evolutive improvement of the electrophysiological variables with normalization of the study in two cases. Patients with secondary CIDP got worse.

Conclusions:

It was concluded that patients with secondary CIDP showed a torpid electrophysiological evolution with reserved prognosis.
