Polyneuropathy associated with IgM monoclonal gammopathy and anti-myelin associated glycoprotein (MAG) antibodies is an immune-mediated demyelinating neuropathy. The pathophysiology of this condition is likely to involve anti-MAG antibody deposition on myelin sheaths of the peripheral nerves and it is supposed to be distinct from chronic inflammatory demyelinating neuropathy (CIDP), another immune-mediated demyelinating peripheral neuropathy. In this series, we have retrospectively reviewed clinical and laboratory findings from 60 patients with polyneuropathy, IgM gammopathy, and anti-MAG antibodies. We found that the clinical picture in these patients is highly variable suggesting a direct link between the monoclonal gammopathy and the neuropathy. Conversely, one-third of patients had a CIDP-like phenotype on electrodiagnostic testing and this was correlated with a low titer of anti-MAG antibodies and the absence of widening of myelin lamellae. Our data suggest that polyneuropathy associated with anti-MAG antibodies is less homogeneous than previously said and that the pathophysiology of the condition is likely to be heterogeneous as well with the self-antigen being MAG in most of the patients but possibly being another component of myelin in the others.

Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy associated with hypoglycemia 2 to insulinoma is unusual, and to our knowledge, very few patients have been reported in literature. Despite varying presentations in these patients, the clinical characteristics are usually the same. The syndrome usually occurs after several episodes of protracted hypoglycemia. The neuropathy is nearly always symmetrical. We report anesthetic management for a young female patient presenting with CIDP & repeated hypoglycemic episodes during a 2-year period scheduled for insulinoma enucleation.
