About Inflammatory Neuropathy

Inflammatory neuropathy is not a single procedure but a category of neurological disorders where the immune system mistakenly attacks the peripheral nerves, causing inflammation, damage, and impaired function. A neurologist's role involves a comprehensive diagnostic and management process. This includes a detailed neurological examination, nerve conduction studies (NCS), electromyography (EMG), and often analysis of cerebrospinal fluid via lumbar puncture. The goal is to accurately diagnose the specific type of inflammatory neuropathy, such as Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) or Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP). Treatment is tailored to the diagnosis and may involve immunomodulatory therapies like intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG), plasma exchange (plasmapheresis), or corticosteroids to suppress the harmful immune response, reduce inflammation, and promote nerve healing.

Key Highlights

    Accurate diagnosis of complex nerve disorders through advanced testing.Targeted treatment plans designed to suppress the underlying autoimmune attack.Potential to halt disease progression and improve neurological function.Management by a specialist (neurologist) with expertise in nerve and immune system disorders.Can significantly improve quality of life by reducing pain, weakness, and sensory deficits.

Who is this surgery for?

  • Rapidly progressive muscle weakness, often starting in the legs and ascending.
  • Sensory disturbances like numbness, tingling (paresthesia), or pain in the limbs.
  • Loss of reflexes (areflexia) detected during a neurological exam.
  • Symptoms following a viral or bacterial infection (common in GBS).
  • Chronic, progressive, or relapsing weakness and sensory loss over months (indicative of CIDP).
  • Difficulty with walking, balance, or fine motor tasks due to nerve dysfunction.

How to prepare

  • Detailed neurological consultation to review full medical history and symptoms.
  • Disclosure of all current medications, especially blood thinners.
  • Fasting may be required for certain tests like a lumbar puncture.
  • Arranging for support and transportation, especially if mobility is already impaired.
  • For treatments like IVIG or plasmapheresis, pre-procedure blood work to assess kidney function and immunoglobulin levels.
  • Psychological preparation for diagnostic procedures and potential long-term treatment.

Risks & possible complications

  • Diagnostic Procedure Risks: Discomfort, bleeding, infection, or headache from lumbar puncture; minor pain from nerve conduction studies.
  • Treatment Risks (IVIG): Headache, flu-like symptoms, rare allergic reactions, or blood clot risk.
  • Treatment Risks (Plasmapheresis): Low blood pressure, infection at catheter site, electrolyte imbalances.
  • Treatment Risks (Corticosteroids): Weight gain, high blood sugar, osteoporosis, mood changes with long-term use.
  • General: Incomplete response to therapy, relapse of symptoms, or progression of nerve damage.

Recovery & hospital stay

  • Initial recovery often begins in a hospital setting for monitoring and treatment administration.
  • Physical and occupational therapy is crucial to regain strength, coordination, and function.
  • Regular follow-up with the neurologist to monitor progress and adjust medications.
  • Managing expectations, as nerve regeneration is a slow process taking weeks to months.
  • Ongoing management of symptoms like neuropathic pain with prescribed medications.
  • Lifestyle adjustments and use of assistive devices (e.g., cane, walker) may be necessary during recovery.
  • checked Typical hospital stay: 5-14 days
  • checked Expected recovery time: 6 months to 2+ years

PATIENT REVIEW

Had my gallbladder out last week....

Had my gallbladder out last week. The surgery itself was fine, but the first two days after were rough. Dr. Madhumitha was really on top of my pain meds, adjusting them a few times until it was manageable. She checked on me every morning and evening at MGM, which helped a lot. I'm home now and the recovery is going okay, just taking it slow.
