Popis:	Neuropathy with anti-myelin-associated glycoprotein (MAG) antibodies commonly demonstrates distal-dominant prolongation of nerve conduction. However, recent electrophysiological studies have shown that distal motor demyelination is not always a distinct feature. We aimed to elucidate whether the longitudinal progression of nerve impairment occurs in a distal-dominant manner. Seven patients with neuropathy with anti-MAG antibodies were enrolled. Sequential nerve conduction studies revealed nerve conduction reduction only at the wrist segment in the median nerve of the patients, but not in the ulnar nerve. Median nerve entrapment at the wrist may play a role in longitudinal disease progression in neuropathy with anti-MAG antibodies.
