| Description |
The two most important confirmatory tests for AIDP are electrophysiologic studies and lumbar puncture. Both should be considered to confirm the disease. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging can be performed to eliminate other causes of progressive weakness and may also reveal marked enhancement of nerve roots, cranial nerves, and the cauda equina, although these findings are not diagnostic of AIDP. |
