Abstract

We present the results of ultrasound study of 21 patients with chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP). In 100% cases were observed changes of the ultrasound structure of peripheral nerves. The ultrasound abnormalities were most prominent in the peripheral nerves of lower extremities. The changes of both tibial and ulnar nerves morphology seem to be the most valuable for the diagnostics. The cross-sectional area of nerves does not correlate with the duration of disease that hinders the performance of the ultrasound for the purpose of follow-up.
