Inflammatory (dizimmune) polyneuropathies

The group includes rare autoimmune diseases affecting the peripheral nervous system. These include acute Guillain-Barre syndrome, chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CVP), multifocal motor neuropathy (MMN), and others.
In these conditions, the immune system mistakenly attacks the myelin sheath of the nerves or the nerve fibers themselves, causing inflammation, impaired conduction of impulses and, as a result, muscle weakness, impaired sensitivity and autonomic disorders. The development of the disease is often associated with viral or bacterial infections, surgical interventions, severe stress or intoxication. In some patients, the disease develops acutely, within a few days or weeks, as in Guillain-Barre syndrome, in others it progresses slowly, for years.

Reasons

Previous viral infections

Bacterial infections

Previous surgical procedures

Severe stressful situations and intoxications

Autoimmune processes that disrupt the normal functioning of the immune system

Symptoms

Increasing muscle weakness that starts in the legs and goes up

Symmetrical limb paresis, decreased tendon reflexes

Feeling of numbness, tingling or burning in the extremities

Neurological pain (burning, stabbing, electric shock-like)

Respiratory failure due to damage to the diaphragm and intercostal muscles

Impaired swallowing, speech, and motor activity of the facial muscles

Fluctuations in blood pressure, cardiac arrhythmias

Bladder and bowel dysfunction, urinary retention

Loss of coordination, shakiness when walking

Consequences

Without timely medical attention, inflammatory polyneuropathies can lead to severe complications: complete paralysis, respiratory disorders, and autonomic dysfunction. In some cases, after recovery, residual symptoms persist in the form of weakness and sensitivity disorders.

Treatment

alt
Conservative treatment
The diagnosis of inflammatory polyneuropathies requires a comprehensive approach, including consultation with a neurologist, neuromyography, ultrasound of nerves and, if necessary, biopsy of nerve or muscle tissue. Treatment is carried out in a hospital setting, as in acute cases patients may need intensive care. First of all, plasmapheresis or intravenous administration of class G immunoglobulin is used, which help reduce autoimmune inflammation and accelerate recovery. An important role is played by symptomatic therapy aimed at maintaining vital body functions, preventing thrombosis and pressure sores, normalizing the water-electrolyte balance and eliminating pain. If the patient has significant difficulty swallowing, they may need to be fed through a probe, and if respiratory failure develops, they may need to be connected to a ventilator.

Surgical treatment
In severe cases, when the patient cannot breathe independently for more than 10 days, a tracheostomy is performed, which allows for prolonged ventilation of the lungs. With severe swallowing disorders, gastrostomy may be required – the installation of a special feeding probe. After the stabilization of the condition, long-term rehabilitation begins. Thanks to comprehensive treatment and supportive therapy, most patients are able to return to an active life.
