Abstract
Two patients with chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuro pathy (CIDP) developed signs of lumbar stenosis. Radiologic, intraoper ative, and pathologic findings demonstrated lumbar stenosis secondary to nerve root hypertrophy. This syndrome has been demonstrated in here ditary but not acquired demyelinating neuropathies. CIDP should be con sidered in the differential diagnosis of sciatica and nerve root hyper trophy.
