ABSTRACT

Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP) is an acquired, immune-mediated neuropathy affecting peripheral nerves and nerve roots. It is characterized by symmetric weakness involving both proximal and distal muscles; it can be relapsing-remitting or progressive in course. The clinical manifestations of CIDP are various and may present with atypical features, like myokymia, tremor, or tremor-like phenomena, which may mislead the clinician in diagnosis.

ABSTRACT

We report about two young males who developed significant proximal weakness of all four limbs secondary to intracranial hypertension due to intracranial venous sinus thrombosis. Intracranial venous sinus thrombosis can manifest in a variety of ways which includes isolated intracranial hypertension, focal neurological symptoms or signs and acute or subacute encephalopathy. Various false localising signs have been reported to occur in patients with raised intracranial pressure including cranial nerve palsies and extensive radiculopathy. In a patient presenting with flaccid areflexic quadriparesis and papilledema, the possibility of a potentially reversible dysfunction of the cranial nerves and spinal nerve roots due to a marked rise in intracranial and intraspinal pressure must be recognised. Lumboperitoneal shunt to reduce the intraspinal pressure on the spinal nerve roots has been advocated to reverse the symptoms of extensive radiculopathy in such patients. Both of our patients showed remarkable improvement in symptoms and signs with medical treatment of CVT.
