descriptive analysis of morphological aspects of nerve by ultra-high frequency ultrasound (30-50mhz) in demyelinating neuropathies: inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy chronic (ipdc), neuropathy multifocal motor block of conducting (nmmbc) and neuropathy with antibody a mag

Conditions: Polyradiculoneuropathy, Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating

Summary: the use of nerve ultrasound for the diagnosis and monitoring of neuromuscular diseases is a promising growing field (1). non-invasive and painless, ultrasound provides additional data electroneuromyography (emg), with a spatial resolution at least as good as mri, while being easily accessible and inexpensive.the polyradiculoneuritis inflammatory demyelinating chronicles (ipdc), neuropathies motrices in multifocal conduction blocks (nmmbc) and neuropathy associated with anti-mag antibodies are among the major chronic inflammatory neuropathies with an autoimmune etiology. the diagnosis of these pathologies is based on the clinic, diagnostic tests and emg. the interest not only in the diagnosis, but also for monitoring these pathologies using ultrasound analysis nerves has been demonstrated recently in several studies. however the limited resolution of current ultrasound images do not allow detailed study of the internal structure of the nerves which could later help deepen knowledge in this innovative field and can better understand the pathophysiological mechanism of the evolution of these pathologies . to do this, the investigators have available a uhf ultrasound in the ultrasound department of the nice university hospital pasteur hospital 2 the investigators realize a descriptive analysis study, pilot, mono-centric, multi and prospective on patients followed in the center with a diagnosis of ipdc, a nmmbc or neuropathy with anti-mag antibodies and control subjects matched by age and sex. all the patients and controls in this study will receive a briefing and must sign an informed consent. they realize an ultrasound study of the nerve, using an ultra high frequency ultrasound system that will allow the assessment of anatomical structures of nerve (size, structure, vascularisation and assessment booklets). ultrasound data will, in a second stage, compared with the data obtained with the emg and clinical scores obtained using clinical rating scales. 40 subjects will be included, divided into four subgroups: 10 subjects with a diagnosis of ipdc (1), 10 subjects with a diagnosis of nmmbc (2), 10 subjects with a diagnosis of neuropathy antibody-anti mag (3) and 10 control subjects with no signs of neuropathy at the emg examination.
