The discussion explores the evolving management of myasthenia gravis (MG), focusing on treatment selection, sequencing, and strategies for switching therapies in clinical practice. The expert faculty highlight how the expanding range of targeted therapies, including FcRn inhibitors, complement inhibitors, and B-cell–depleting agents, has enabled more individualized, patient-centered care, balancing short-term symptom control with long-term disease management. The panelists emphasize a shift toward earlier, proactive optimization of therapy to improve long-term outcomes and reduce disease burden in patients with MG.

In this episode, "Navigating CIDP Guidelines, Misdiagnosis, and Disease Variants," the panelists in neurology and neuromuscular medicine explore the practical utility of the 2021 EAN/PNS CIDP guidelines and the considerable complexity introduced by disease variants. The discussion opens with a question about monophasic CIDP, with one expert noting that 20–30% of patients can achieve drug-free remission after initial treatment, suggesting a subset of patients experience a self-limiting course that nonetheless meets the diagnostic threshold of progression or relapse beyond two months.

Welcome back to another NeurologyLive Peer Exchange series. The panel opens with a discussion of CIDP prevalence, noting that estimates vary depending on the diagnostic criteria used. A strict case definition from a New South Wales population study places prevalence at approximately 1 per 100,000, while a more clinically based study from Olmsted County suggests a higher figure of around 1 in 10,000. One expert contextualizes this further, estimating that roughly 40,000–50,000 patients in the U.S. are affected, and that CIDP accounts for approximately 20% of patients presenting to peripheral neuropathy centers with initially unrecognized neuropathy. The panel characterizes CIDP as rare but not ultra-rare.
