This review discusses and summarizes the concept of nodopathies, the diagnostic
features, investigations, pathophysiology, and treatment options of chronic
inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy, and gives updates on other
inflammatory and dysimmune neuropathies such as Guillain-Barre syndrome, sensory
neuronopathies, small-fiber-predominant ganglionitis,
POEMS syndrome,
neuropathies associated with IgM monoclonal gammopathy and multifocal motor
neuropathy. This field of research has contributed to the antigenic
characterization of the peripheral motor and sensory functional systems, as well
as helping to define immune neuropathic syndromes with widely different clinical
presentation, prognosis and response to therapy.
