ABSTRACT
Inflammatory neuropathies are uncommon in children but critical to diagnose because they are treatable. They are caused by a direct autoimmune attack against peripheral nerve resulting in progressive motor weakness and=or sensory loss. According to the time from symptom onset until maximal severity of disease, these neuropathies can be divided into acute (<4 weeks) and chronic forms (>8 weeks).
