Demyelinating neuropathies may have an acute or chronic onset. Demyelination can be caused by autoimmune disease, toxins, drug side effects, nutritional deficiencies, infections, paraneoplastic syndromes, or congenital disorders. Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease is the most common cause of hereditary demyelinating polyneuropathy.
Age of onset and treatment vary according to the underlying cause of the neuropathy.
