Multifocal motor neuropathy (MMN) is a chronic, immune-mediated motor neuropathy that can mimic other neuromuscular disorders1-3 and is one of the few motor neuron disorders that is treatable.4 However, disease severity correlates with the length of time a patient remains untreated, which is why early recognition and treatment initiation is essential for preserving long-term motor function.5-6 Joining Dr. Jennifer Caudle to discuss the diagnosis and management of MMN is Dr. Katie Beadon, Co-Director of St. Paul’s Hospital Immunotherapy in Neurology Clinic and an Assistant Clinical Professor at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver.
