Nerve ultrasound score in distinguishing chronic from acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy

Highlights • Nerve ultrasound may be used in quantifying pathological cross sectional area changes. • The Bochum Ultrasound score allows a distinction of CIDP from AIDP. • Both the CIDP and AIDP show peripheral nerve and brachial plexus enlargements.
