Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy is a polyneuropathy characterized by sensory loss in the hands and feet. Patients with this disease need early treatment to ensure a higher chance of recovery.

Guillain-Barre syndrome, also known as acute inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy or autoimmune peripheral neuropathy, is a rare medical condition. This is a disorder in which the body's immune system attacks part of the peripheral nervous system. This condition will cause the nerves to become inflamed, leading to paralysis or muscle weakness if not treated properly and promptly.

When peripheral neuropathy affects more than one nerve, it is called polyneuropathy. Most people with peripheral neuropathy have polyradiculoneuropathy.
