We report a case of CCS with concomitant presentation of mononeuritis multiplex. The electrophysiological findings and steroid responsiveness suggests presence of an autoimmune mechanism. © 2016 Lo, Lim, Cheng and Mesenas. | Source Title: | Frontiers in Neurology | URI: | https://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/179899 | ISSN: | 16642295 | DOI: | 10.3389/fneur.2016.00207 | Rights: | Attribution 4.0 International |
