CHRONIC INFLAMMATORY DEMYELINATING POLYNEUROPATHY (CIDP) IN A YOUNG MALE: A CASE REPORT AND LITERATURE REVIEW

A 25-year-old male presented to the emergency department with complaints of bilateral upper and lower limb weakness accompanied by a tingling sensation. Upon admission, a thorough clinical evaluation and diagnostic workup were conducted, leading to a diagnosis of Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP). During hospitalization, the patient was managed with intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) therapy, receiving a total of 140 grams, alongside oral medications and supportive care. Physiotherapy was initiated and continued throughout the treatment course to aid in functional recovery. The patient responded well to the treatment regimen, demonstrating significant improvement in symptoms and overall clinical condition. At the time of discharge, the patient was in satisfactory condition with stable vital signs and was advised to continue follow-up care and physiotherapy as an outpatient. This case highlights the importance of timely diagnosis, appropriate immunomodulatory therapy, and multidisciplinary management in achieving favorable outcomes in patients with CIDP.
