Peripheral nerve imaging was compatible with the respective diagnosis of an immune-mediated neuropathy, i.e., multifocal motor neuropathy (MMN) in patient 1 and multifocal acquired demyelinating sensory and motor neuropathy (MADSAM) in patient 2. Peripheral nerve imaging, especially HRUS, should play an important role in the diagnostic work-up for immune-mediated neuropathies and their differentiation from ALS.
