Conditions where the immune system attacks the nervous system — including MS, myasthenia gravis, CIDP, Guillain-Barré syndrome, autoimmune encephalitis, and neuromyelitis optica.

Diagnosis uses specific autoantibody panels, CSF analysis, NCS/EMG, and MRI. The antibody identified guides both diagnosis and treatment choice.

Corticosteroids, IVIG, plasmapheresis, rituximab, azathioprine, mycophenolate, and other immunosuppressants — depending on the specific disease and severity.

Some require long-term immunotherapy (CIDP, myasthenia gravis). Others like Guillain-Barré are monophasic and usually recover with treatment.
