Excerpt

Lewis–Sumner syndrome (LSS) is an immune-mediated peripheral nerve disorder characterized by multifocal conduction blocks. LSS is typically associated with distal, asymmetric weakness and sensory impairment, affecting primarily upper limbs [1]. It is still an open question whether LSS and multifocal motor neuropathy (MMN) are a variant of CIDP or whether these conditions represent different entities [2]. …
