In MRI imaging of CCPD cases, demyelinating lesions can be seen in areas such as the brain, cerebellum, brainstem, optic nerve, and spinal cord. Common electromyography (EMG) findings in patients with CCPD include decreased motor nerve conduction velocities, decreased or absent sensory nerve action potentials, prolonged F-wave latency, and decreased amplitude of compound muscle action potentials. Neurofascin (NF) is a transmembrane protein and anti-neurofascin (anti-NF) antibodies directed against NF can be positive in cases of CCPD. Four main NF polypeptides are produced by alternative splicing: NF 186, NF 180, NF 166, and NF 155. The investigation of anti-NF in CCPD cases is therefore important for etiological considerations. Here, we discussed three cases diagnosed with CCPD based on clinical, neuroimaging, EMG, and anti-NF antibody results in light of the literature.</p>","PeriodicalId":12065,"journal":{"name":"European Neurology","volume":" ","pages":"84-92"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139702122","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
