ABOUT Multifocal Motor Neuropathy (MMN)

MMN is a rare disorder in which focal areas of multiple motor nerves are attacked by one?s own immune system. Typically, MMN is slowly progressive, resulting in asymmetrical weakness of a patient?s limbs. The clinical course of MMN is chronically progressive without remission and the prevalence of this very rare disease is estimated to be 0.6 cases in every 100,000 people, which makes it even rarer that GBS and a spontaneously self-limiting disorder in which 1-2/100,000 cases occur each year in North America and Europe. More information on MMN can be found here.
