Neuropathy vs. myopathy vs. NMJ • Neuropathy vs. myopathies – Most neuropathies cause distal before proximal dysfunction – Muscle diseases affect proximal before distal • NMJ disorders usually involve the CNs – NO sensory loss – NO atrophy – Extraocular muscles affected early
Myelinopathy versus axonopathy • Reflexes lost early • Large fiber sensory loss • Weakness with minimal atrophy • CSF protein may be increased • Patterns other than distal to proximal • Reflexes retained until late • Small > large fiber sensory loss • CSF protein normal • Distal to proximal dysfunction
