Peripheral Nerve Inflammatory Conditions & Motor Neuron Diseases

This chapter explores inflammatory conditions affecting peripheral nerves like Guillain Barre syndrome (GBS) and its variants, discussing clinical features, ganglion sites involved, and the importance of recognizing different variants. It also delves into central nervous system conditions caused by specific antibodies, Campylobacter jejuni infection's link to acute motor exoneuropathy, and treatment approaches for GBS. The conversation transitions to motor neuron diseases, particularly amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), detailing clinical presentations, genetic implications, different disease patterns, and related conditions like multifocal motor neuropathy and mono-neuritis multiplex.
