Investigation
Nerve conduction studies are characteristic of a demyelinating neuropathy: conduction is slow and action potentials are small.
The EMG of distal muscles demonstrates denervation. Proximal EMG is usually normal.
Nerve biopsy may show a predominance of smaller fibres and localised thickening of the myelin sheath.
