Critical illness polyneuropathy. A review of the literature, definition and pathophysiology

F S Leijten et al. Clin Neurol Neurosurg. 1994 Feb.

Abstract

We present a review of the clinical characteristics, and electromyographical and pathological findings of critical illness polyneuropathy by a comparison of ten studies, leading to a definition. Controversies about the nature of CIP, the interpretation of neurophysiological and pathological findings, and differential diagnoses are discussed.
