5 Facts you should know about

Multifocal Motor Neuropathy

Multifocal Motor Neuropathy (MMN) is a rare immune-mediated peripheral neuropathy characterized by progressive weakness in specific muscle groups, often in the upper limbs

It is considered an acquired demyelinating neuropathy, and the exact cause is not fully understood

MMN typically presents with asymmetric weakness, fasciculations (muscle twitching), and cramping, without significant sensory involvement

High-dose intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) is the mainstay of treatment for MMN, providing symptomatic relief and slowing the progression of the disease

Although MMN is a chronic condition, early diagnosis and appropriate management can improve the quality of life for affected individuals
