Patterns of motor nerve demyelination and their prognostic significance in multifocal motor neuropathy
A pattern of early nerve involvement with prominent TD appears to be associated with a more aggressive disease course and poorer IVIg response. Diagnostic evaluation in MMN should not focus solely on focal CB but also systematically assess the number of nerves with TD. Prospective studies with standardized protocols are needed to validate these findings.
