Excerpt

The multifocal acquired demyelinating sensory and motor neuropathy (MADSAM) or Lewis–Sumner syndrome is a rare acquired neuropathy. It is distinguished from other acquired demyelinating polyneuropathies such as the chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) by asymmetric motor and sensory impairment, and the multifocal motor neuropathy (MMN) by the presence of sensory symptoms [1]. …
