Abstract | PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy ( CIDP) is a treatable but possibly underdiagnosed disorder of the peripheral nerve. This review covers the growing literature of the past years that deals with the pathogenesis, diagnostic criteria and treatment of CIDP. RECENT FINDINGS: SUMMARY: The growing body of knowledge on the pathogenesis of CIDP and further diagnostic differentiation of subforms may help to develop more-effective therapies for CIDP in the next few years.
