Abstract

Extracorporeal procedures for the elimination of autoantibodies are an important therapeutic option in various neuroimmunological diseases, especially those with neuromuscular involvement. Recent advances with the development of selective apheresis methods have given extracorporeal therapeutic procedures a new perspective. In this article, we review the therapeutic use of plasma exchange and immunoadsorption therapy in different neuroimmunological diseases.
