OBJECTIVES: Cranial nerve (CN) involvement is not a common feature of typical chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP). Patients with acute presentation of CN palsy in CIDP may be misdiagnosed and treated as other pathologies.
METHODS: We report a patient with multiple cranial neuropathies at the onset of CIDP in detail. In addition, we reviewed a large cohort of patients with CN involvement in CIDP and summarized their characteristics and clinical findings.
RESULTS: We presented a 28-year-old woman who presented with progressive weakness and involvement of CN III, VII, X, XII in the subacute phase who was diagnosed as CIDP and was treated accordingly. A scoping review of the literature resulted in a total of 59 patients with available patient-level data [61.2% men, median age of 32 (Q1-Q3; 20-51.5) years]. CN impairment was present in the acute phase of the polyneuropathy in 10 out of 43 patients (23.3%), while it took a median of 7.7 [Q1-Q3; 3-13] years for other patients to present CN palsy. Sensitivity analysis did not reveal any difference among patients with acute-phase presentation of CN symptoms (N = 11) compared with those with delayed CN palsy (N = 33) in terms of demographics, patterns of CN involvement, associated diminished sensorimotor findings, or relapse. However, patients with acute presentation of CN palsy underwent plasmapheresis approximately 4 times more than those with delayed CN presentations (45.5% vs. 12.1%, P = 0.02).
CONCLUSION: In this case presentation and review study, we observed that in one-fourth of patients with CIDP and CN neuropathy, CN involvement occurred in the acute phase. This finding indicates the necessity of considering CIDP among differential diagnoses of patients with CN involvement and polyneuropathies.
