When asked to assess patients in an intensive care unit (ICU) who have respiratory muscle weakness, oropharyngeal weakness and a vulnerable airway, our immediate thought may be of Guillain-Barré syndrome or myasthenia gravis, but there are many other possible causes. For example, …

OBJECTIVES: We aimed to define the clinical and serological characteristics of pan-neurofascin antibody-positive patients. METHODS: We tested serum from patients with suspected immune-mediated neuropathies for antibodies directed against nodal/paranodal protein antigens using a live cell-based assay and solid-phase platform. The clinical and …

FOSMN is heralded by facial sensory loss with subsequent sensory and motor loss spreading caudally. Few cases have been described in the literature but a single case with upper motor neurone features drew parallels to motor neurone disease (MND). A woman with …
