Vestibulo-cochlear function in inflammatory neuropathies

Inflammatory neuropathies are a heterogeneous group of peripheral nerve disorders linked by their immune-related pathogenesis. They are caused by auto-immune inflammation within the peripheral nerves associated with destruction of myelin and/or axons (Lunn et al., 2009). Inflammatory neuropathies may be acute (e.g., Guillain-Barré Syndrome, GBS) or chronic (e.g., Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Neuropathy, CIDP; Multifocal Motor Neuropathy, MMN) and are closely related to neuropathies associated with paraproteinemia (Lunn et al., 2009).
