104. Assessment of distal compound muscle action potential duration (DCMAPD) in paediatric chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP)

To evaluate if duration of distal compound muscle action potential duration (DCMAPD) could represent a sensitive parameter in clinical practice to add to established electrophysiological diagnostic criteria in paediatric chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) and its rule in patient’s follow-up. We retrospectively reviewed records of 8 children affected by CIDP (6/8 possible CIDP, 2/8 confirmed CIDP) according to established diagnostic criteria of the 88th ENMC International Workshop (2000), before consideration of DCMAPD prolongation.
