Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP) is a rare autoimmune condition that affects the peripheral nerves. In CIDP, the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks the myelin sheath — the protective covering of nerves — leading to progressive nerve damage. This can cause muscle weakness, sensory loss, and difficulty with movement, making early diagnosis and treatment essential to prevent long-term disability.

For individuals living in Miranda and surrounding areas, Southern Neurology, based in nearby Kogarah, provides specialised care for CIDP. Their team of experienced neurologists offers advanced diagnostic services and personalised treatment plans designed to manage symptoms, improve nerve function, and enhance quality of life.

CIDP often presents with gradually worsening weakness in the arms and legs, numbness or tingling in the hands and feet, reduced reflexes, and difficulty with balance or walking. Because these symptoms can resemble other neurological disorders, it is crucial to see a specialist for accurate diagnosis. Southern Neurology uses state-of-the-art tests including nerve conduction studies (NCS), electromyography (EMG), cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis, and occasionally MRI or nerve ultrasound to confirm the diagnosis and assess the extent of nerve involvement.
