Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy is an immune-mediated polyneuropathy marked by nerve roots and peripheral nerve inflammation, characterized by segmental demyelination and remyelination. Typical chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy presents with symmetric, motor-predominant weakness and sensory impairment, notably affecting vibration and position sense more than pain and temperature sense, often accompanied by areflexia. While idiopathic cases are common, various diseases may trigger chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy. Diagnosis challenges can lead to misdiagnosis or overdiagnosis, emphasizing the need for prompt identification and treatment to prevent mortality and prolonged morbidity. Treatment options are available and can improve the outcome of this condition.This continuing education activity discusses chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy’s pathophysiology, clinical presentation, evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment. The activity underscores the vital role of the interprofessional team in comprehensive patient care, aiming to enrich healthcare professionals’ understanding. Staying updated on advancements and best practices enables professionals to optimize outcomes and enhance the quality of life for individuals grappling with this complex neurological disorder.
