Abstract
Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP) is an acquired inflammatory demyelinating disease affecting nerve roots and peripheral nerves with a monophasic, progressive, or relapsing clinical course, often with incomplete recovery potentially leading to lifelong disability.1,2 As physicians it is important to remember the effect of CIDP on afflicted patients reaches beyond what can be examined or observed, with persisting alterations in body image from chronic denervation, sensory deafferentation, and weakness contributing to less measurable disability. This patient's creative interpretation of the long-term sequela of this disorder reflects how she perceives her chronic disability and embodies her perseverance through art (figures 1 and 2).
