Abstract
Autoimmune-mediated neuropathies may cause lumbar pain. Therefore, an extended diffusion-weighted MRI scan and autoimmune ganglioside antibody diagnostics should be performed to detect rare autoimmune-mediated inflammatory and demyelinating peripheral neuropathies and to treat them with immunomodulatory therapies, especially in cases of long-standing and therapy-resistant symptoms.
期刊介绍:
Clinical Case Reports is different from other case report journals. Our aim is to directly improve global health and increase clinical understanding using case reports to convey important best practice information. We welcome case reports from all areas of Medicine, Nursing, Dentistry, and Veterinary Science and may include: -Any clinical case or procedure which illustrates an important best practice teaching message -Any clinical case or procedure which illustrates the appropriate use of an important clinical guideline or systematic review. As well as: -The management of novel or very uncommon diseases -A common disease presenting in an uncommon way -An uncommon disease masquerading as something more common -Cases which expand understanding of disease pathogenesis -Cases where the teaching point is based on an error -Cases which allow us to re-think established medical lore -Unreported adverse effects of interventions (drug, procedural, or other).
