International Conference on Diagnosis and Treatment in Pediatric Neurology, Warszawa, Polonya, 14 - 17 Mayıs 2008, ss.45-46
Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy is an acquired neuropathy which is rarely seen pediatric patients. It is characterised by chronic progressive or relapsing remitting weakness. The prognosis in childhood is good compared to adult patients. We present an eight year old girl with chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy whose response to prednisone treatment was excellent. The diagnosis of chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy should not be missed because it is one of the acquired neurologic disorders that respond to treatment.
